It's weird I didn't see Wagner Moura get dragged into the brown-word brouhaha that erupted when Steven Soderbergh broke our hearts, declaring he wants to make a movie about the Spanish-American War starring Moura that would use"a lot of A.I." -- if I missed somebody asking Moura about that shit please share it in the comments! Until then I am choosing to believe that Wagner didn't know anything about the A.I. part of this and has since bolted, just so's my crush on him can remain throbbing for a little longer. Thankfully for now we't throbbing just fine thanks to this new-ish photoshoot (via) ...
... and the news that Wagner will be starring opposite two of my favorite actors -- Ralph Fiennes and Colin Farrell, A mini-In-Bruges reunion! -- in Art, a film adaptation of the 1994 play by Yasmina Reza to be directed by the great Fernando Meirelles (thx Mac). The play's about three long-term friends who debate the meaning of art when one of them buys an extremely expensive all-white painting. Okay! I suppose somehow that will be made cinematic. And I bet it will be accomplished without any A.I. too. Keep that line of thinking going, Wagner! Hit the jump for all of the photos...
That's good news about a film version of ART. I see it as the same type of adaptation as Polanski's CARNAGE. It doesn't need to be opened up. I liked the original productions of both ART and GOD OF CARNAGE.
ReplyDeleteYasmina Reza wrote Art…and God of Carnage.
ReplyDeleteYes I know. Thanks
ReplyDeleteCute guy, but damn, he looks like he just woke up in over half of these.
ReplyDeleteI totally love Polanski’s film of Reza's „Carnage“! With the superb direction and amazing performances, you never really have a chance to realise that all the action is set in one room. Looking forward to „Art“, another play which doesn’t need to be opened-up for a film version.
