Blade Runner 2049, Prisoners och Sicario är bara några av de fantastiska filmerna som Denis Villeneuves gjort de senaste åren. Han kan mycket väl vara en av de bästa regissörerna som är aktuella idag och ganska snart kan vi få se mer från honom. Just nu är han i förhandlingar med Sony om att regissera kommande Cleopatra som manusförfattaren David Scarpa nyligen berättade lite mer om.
"It's similar [to All the Money in the World] in that there's a lot of research involved and there's a question with all that of how do you want to do it and how do you make something new out of it? With Getty, part of the idea was to take two genres we felt we knew, which was the kidnapping genre and what we'll call the "great man" genre — the Citizen Kane genre — and smash them together and make something new out of them. With Cleopatra ... instead of doing the movie as the prestige picture — the three-hour, lots of pageantry, people with fans and English accents and all that stuff — [we] really treat it as a political thriller. Dirty, bloody, lots of people swearing and having sex and all of that other stuff and just treat it as a two-hour, lean, mean political thriller, full of assassinations, etc. Just going the opposite direction from the way we think that movie is going to go."
Filmen kommer baseras på boken Cleopatra: A Life, skriven av Stacy Schiff. Vad tror du om det?
