I remain curious to see at what point, if any, that our boy Franz Rogowski will begin taking let's say less challenging roles in Hollywood -- he does have that extremely strange sounding role in Animal Kingdom director David Michôd's marijuana-caper Wizards! with Orlando Bloom and Pete Davidson (see my previous posts here) but I'm not totally sure how "Hollywood" you can claim that movie to be; Michôd's last movie might've been The King with Timmy Chalamet but he still feels kinda like a Aussie arthouse dude to me, and Wizards! just sounds very, very weird.
Anyway for now Franz still has some tough and challenging roles on his plate, and we just got new word on one of them -- his movie Lubo with Italian director Giorgio Diritti has lined up American distrobution, says Variety (thx Mac). So hopefully we'll get it before the year is through. (It played at Venice last fall.) Both of those photos above are from the film, which Variety describes thusly:
"Rogowski play[s] a young man who belongs to a group of Yenish nomads, and in 1939 is forced to serve in the Swiss military under threat from the Nazi army. Upon hearing that his children, due to their ethnicity, have been taken away by Swiss authorities — who also killed his wife while she opposed them — Lubo defects from the army and spends the next 30 years searching for his kids... Italy’s Valentina Bellé, known for the Disney+ series The Good Mothers and a European Shooting Star at this year’s Berlinale, also stars in the drama as a young woman named Margherita with whom Lubo has an affair."
