Fernando Meirelles (The Constant Gardener) is rejoining with his City of God penner Bráulio Mantovani on a biopic of Aristotle Onassis called, enough, Onassis. Vulture reports that it's set up at France's Pathe, and that Meirelles is said to have described the upcoming feature as:
a sort of Godfather, with Onassis at the center.”
The film, which is in early stages at this point, is based on Nemesis: The truth Story of…, Peter Evans's biography of Aristotle Onassis, Ari that uncovers the shocking height of the Kennedy-Onassis-Kennedy love triangle: Onassis was at the heart of the conspiracy to slay Bobby Kennedy!
Carefully tracing Onassis' relations in the world of terrorism, Nemesis presents convincing evidence that Ari financed the elimination– including an upsetting confession that has gone unreported for almost thirty years.
The Greek shipping magnate is today best known for marrying Jacqueline Kennedy the widow of President John F. Kennedy. Evans's book centered instead on Onassis's antagonism with Robert, JFK's younger sibling. As attorney general, Bobby had investigated Onassis's international business practices, making his payments were unclear and banned him from trading with the U.S.
However, Maria Callas was the only true love of Onassis life. And how would you briefly approached this guy's nature, I shall mention two interesting quotes that do not speak of love, but about his attitude toward money and success:
To be successful, keep looking tanned, live in an elegant building (even if you're in the cellar), be seen in smart restaurants (even if you only nurse one drink) and if you borrow, borrow big.”
Plus:
After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts.”
There is no release date or eyed actors stated with the announcement of the film. Merilles is now still shooting 360, the relationship drama starring Anthony Hopkins, Rachel Weisz, Ben Foster and Jude Law.
