"Another musical biopic in the works is ''Django,'' about jazz's greatest guitarist, Django Reinhardt. Director Frank Marshall tells Variety that Reinhardt is, indirectly, the reason he grew up in the film business. He says that listening to the Gypsy guitarist on the radio in the 1930s inspired his father, Jack Marshall, to become a musician and move to Hollywood; the elder Marshall eventually wrote the guitar-driven theme song to ''The Munsters'' and is credited with the famous arrangement of Peggy Lee's ''Fever.'' Writing the screenplay will be Janus Cercone, who spent two years tracking down Reinhardt's son to acquire the movie rights and got him to sign two days before he died. Marshall has produced dozens of movies, but his most recently released feature as a director was 1995's gorilla thrilla ''Congo,'' while Cercone's last produced screenplay was ''Ed,'' the baseball-playing-chimp movie that nipped Matt LeBlanc's film career in the bud. How the filmmakers' expertise with monkeys will play out in a music biopic remains to be seen."
