If you see the movies Man On The Moon and Confidence, you’d think that Paul Giamatti is just another actor stuck doing supporting roles, there was no way he’d be a leading man.. but never say never because Giamatti is now considered one of the greatest character actors of our time in the same level as Philip Seymour Hoffman who also started by doing supporting gigs in movies like Twister, both actors are also chubby by the way, just wanna put it out there for those who think Hollywood has place only for models. So you never know because even if they don’t have the looks, they sure as hell have the talents.
After watching HBO series John Adams, I’m convinced that Paul Giamatti can do anything and up next in his pocket, according to Variety, is an adaptation titled BARNEY’S VERSION based on the book by Mordecai Richler. To be directed by Richard J. Lewis using the screenplay adaptation by Michael Konyves. Principal photography will begin in August in Rome, Montreal, Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains and New York.
Here’s the official synopsis of the book
Barney Panofsky–whose trashy TV company has made him a small fortune–recalls with nostalgia and pain his young manhood in the Paris of the early ’50s, and his lifelong passion for wine, women, and the Montreal Canadiens.
