GALA DALI!
Two films concerning the life of Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali were announced as going into production today. Not to worry, neither film will attempt to cover the the artist’s entire life, Little Ashes pertains to the relationship between Dali, Lorca and Bunuel when they were young students in Spain and is to be directed by Paul Morrison (Solomon and Gaenor).
From the Hollywood angle, Cillian Murphy has just signed on to star opposite Al Pacino in Andrew Niccol’s Dali & I: The Surreal Story. This film will focus on Dali between the years 1960-1980 when he quit being prolific and started becoming flamboyant. Murphy will play the famous art-dealer Stan Lauryssens against Pacino’s Dali.
