Colin Firth As Noel Coward: Who Had It First?

This is always the kind of story I like to track. Basically, I turn on the computer not knowing ANYTHING that has happened today...and boom, everybody has the exact same story posted pretty much at the same time (which, of course, means that among an entire industry of entertainment reporters, nobody had any sources to help them gain the exlcusive). Today it's this one: Colin Firth starring as Noel Coward. It came from Cannes, evidenced by the fact that the company putting the movie together is called BiteSized Entertainment. Nope...I haven't heard of them either. But anyway...since it went wide...the important question we all want to know is...who had it first?

Deadline wins this race, posting at 6:12 a.m.
The Hollywood Reporter went at 6:18.
Variety comes in third, going at 6:29.
The Wrap apparently didn't hear about it, doesn't care or doesn't like Mr. Firth. Nothing up yet.
