Here’s an Irish who’s been having a good streak in recent years. Forget the face that we’ve unfortunately seen a shot of his genitalia in the movie ’28 Days Later’, ever since then he’s taken Rachel McAdams hostage (Red Eye) and scared the crap out of Batman (as Scarecrow in Batman Begins), he even managed to get face to face contact with. Sunshine. And now he gets to go head to head with my choice of the greatest actor alive: Al Pacino!
They’ve agreed to be in a movie that tells about the legendary painter Salvadore Dali and his mentor-protege relationship with a young art dealer. It’s going to be called Dali and I: The Surreal Story. Why do talented actors sometimes have to settle for cheesy movie titles?!
But movies about painters have had good successful records and award recognitions (Pollock, Frida), so bring on the Dali.
Here’s a bigger question, just check out these two pictures below. I know that Al is a great actor who can turn himself into anyone or anything, but I think we can all agree that it takes a real weirdo or a whackjob to play Salvadore Dali. And that horrid mustache!
