Psycho-sexual drama that we already wrote about is definitely something worth keeping an eye on.
And here’s why! First of all, director Fernando Meirelles is in charge for this project, titled 360.
Then, we have lovely Rachel Weisz already on board, Anthony Hopkins has signed on to star in a movie as well, while Frances McDormand is also in talks to join the cast. Great, or what?
Eminem was rumoured to be making a return to cinema with a role in the sex-themed drama but he has not signed up for a serious acting turn in the movie, confirms his representative.
360 is based on a play by the Austrian playwright Arthur Shnitzler, who wrote some very provocative plays for his time. 1900 play Reigen inspired French drama “La Ronde” and has provided the dramatic structure for scores of plays and films.
Here’s a short description: “A prostitute is cheated out of her money by a drug-dealer, in the next scene the dealer seduces a maid, who in turn is hit by the son of her employer, and so on, until an actress engages in a little hanky-panky with the count, who – and this is where the circle joins – in a final scene ends up at the prostitute’s apartment. The dramatic design is based on Arthur Schnitzler’s theater-play Der Reigen, a chain of amorous liaisons in Viennese society at the turn of the century.”
The film will be written by Peter Morgan, best known for writing the play and screenplay to Frost/Nixon, The Other Boleyn Girl and The Queen.
At this moment no further details about the cast above, but as you see, that looks like perfect cast for this kind of story.
In the meanwhile, Sir Anthony, will next be seen in Woody Allen‘s You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger and superhero movie Thor.
Oscar winner Frances McDormand is currently filming Transformers 3, where she plays a national intelligence officer.
