Another of the people who made this opportunity a reality has been Michael De Luca, who will be the co-producer of the future production.

Summer, Oscar winner for his performance in “Dallas buyers club”, will have as screenwriter Terence Winter, responsible for "The Wolf of Wall Street", el éxito que tuvo a Leonardo Di Caprio como protagonista.

Warhol ha sido sin duda una de las figuras excluyentes de la década del ’60, responsable del nacimiento del “pop art”. Fue también escritor y cineasta de vanguardia.
