Playing Salvador Dali in a new Andrew Niccol movie
Is there anything left for Al Pacino to play? Ah yes, of course, Salvador Dali.
According to Variety, the Gangster-turned-blind dancer-turned-Devil has agreed to front Andrew Niccol’s (He directed Pacino in the poorly-received “Simone” a couple of years back), chronicle of the artist. The film will apparently largely take place in Dahli’s twilight years.
Pacino apparently ‘understood’ the script – originally penned by John Salvati; Niccol is doing the re-write – and that’s why he was asked to come onboard. Of course, it had nothing to do with the fact that he is Al Pacino; he can bring in financers, and well, he is Al Pacino.
“Dali & I: The Surreal Story,” is set for a shoot in New York and Spain in June.
