Bon, donc White Jazz, et ensuite Killing Pablo...
Have wings, will travel , comme on dit.

Bon bah a priori ce sera Killing Pablo en premier :
Might be going to Colombia as early as THIS WEEK. Major, major
casting news coming in the next two weeks (hopefully after Thanksgiving)
so it looks like this one might be ramping up faster than I thought possible.
Had a big dinner last night with all the major foreign film buyers and I think
they're all wanting to back 'KILLING PABLO' because they love the script
and the material it's based on. It doesn't hurt that KP was a massive bestseller
and everybody sees the upside to doing a film with the author of 'Black Hawk
Down' which made a couple of bucks at the box-office a few years back.

It was a great dinner and led to the obvious: It's time to hit Colombia and hit
it hard...

Updates to follow.

Bon donc si on se rappelle ce que disait Carnahan :
"The only downside
would be Bardem, who just commited to a film and therefore wouldn't be
available for KP. There is, however another suggestion that's just as thrilling
and somebody who had already expressed an earlier interest in this script.
If he were to agree to play Pablo, I might have to pull up stakes and go make
that film, toot sweet."

Donc qui le jouerait?
C'est simple, y a pas 40 acteurs latinos avec une bonne réputation, donc si c'est pas Bardem c'est forcément Benicio del Toro.



Maintenant, est-ce qu'il ferait le Che ET Escobar?
Et de toute façon, entre les deux films de Soderbergh (qui je crois tourne encore) et The Wolfman de Romanek (dont le tournage doit commencer fin janvier), Del Toro n'est pas libre, je crois...ou alors, le tournage de Pablo ne commencerait pas avant genre fin mars-début avril (mais à ce moment-là, c'est un peu "con" de pas faire White Jazz avant).

A la base, Bardem et Carnahan voulaient tourner Pablo à partir de l'été...si c'est pour le tourner seulement 2 mois avant....

Donc c'est peut-être pas Benicio del Toro.

Alors qui?

Revoyons la gueule à Pablito (mort à 44 ans) :





Maintenant revoyons notre liste d'acteurs hispaniques célèbres :

Antonio Banderas (47 ans)?

Trop beau. Même si je sens le truc genre "allez je change mon image"...mais justement, je pense qu'il a trop une image qui lui colle à la peau pour être choisi...après on a vu plus zarbi comme casting.

Alfred Molina (54 ans)?

C'est peut-être celui qui ressemble le plus physiquement. Trop vieux?

Cliff Curtis (39 ans)?

Ca m'étonnerait. En plus il a déjà joué Escobar dans Blow (cf. ci-dessus).

John Ortiz?

Excellent dans Miami Vice et American Gangster, mec qui monte, mais pas assez connu (et pas assez ressemblant).

Le mec idéal serait Javier Camara (Parle avec elle) :

Mais bon. Inconnu.

Bref.

Ou pas :
Full speed on Pablo now but White Jazz not out of the running.
If something is going to happen with that, it's going to have to happen
fast since the ramp-up for KP has already begun.

Bon bah a priori ce sera lui le prochain Carnahan.
Dernier message sur son blog :

Off to Argentina, right after the new year to interview Pablo's son and
lay the ground work for KILLING PABLO. Have loads of contacts and
folks on the ground and my feeling is we will wind up shooting a majority
of KP in and around Buenos Aires and then travel to Colombia for a few
weeks to get the crucial stuff. We've been extended every courtesy by the Colombian
government and current President Alvaro Uribe and also given guarantees as to our
safety and well being. HOWEVER, there's not a completion bond company in the
world that will touch us if we choose to shoot KILLING PABLO entirely in Colombia.
It's far too dangerous on multiple fronts, not the least of which is 'El Grande Gringo'
aka, yours truly, traipsing around like some moron, trying to do a movie about
'El Doctor' himself. I figure that's actually the perfect cover. Nobody would ever think
this ridiculous white boy would be dumb enough to pull a stunt like that, so I'm
hoping (praying) that this bit of 'camo' will suffice.

Not sure where the other, horrible Pablo project is at the moment. I know they're
getting turned down by a lot of folks...memo to aspiring screenwriters, if you want
to know how NOT to write a screenplay, pick up that piece of sh*t and use it as
reverse tutelage. It not only does a disservice to the craft of writing, it mocks one
of the greatest figures in Latin American history with a non-existent, wholly
fictionalized Butch and Sundance angle involving Pablo and his brother Roberto.
It's laughably lame.

Good luck chumps. And it doesn't matter if you get out of the gate six months earlier
than me. I will have an announcement after the new year that will absolutely break your
hearts and kill whatever middling credibility you have...and you deserve that heartbreak,
trying to push a sh*tty, insultingly bad Pablo pic into production against mine and being
nasty and conniving and devious about it.

I said in yesterday's post that 'War is War and that declaration seems obvious by now...'

I'll let that same sentiment ride here.

Bon bah apparemment, ce sera celui-là le prochain Carnahan.
Il est actuellement en repérages sur place et il vient d'annoncer que, suite au désistement de Javier Bardem, c'est Edgar Ramirez qui tiendra le rôle.

On a vu Ramirez dans Domino, The Bourne Ultimatum et bientôt Guerilla/The Argentine.

On perd au change mais bon...
Tournage cet automne.

QUATRE ANS APRES

Si The Grey ne se vautre pas, Carnahan espère enfin tourner Killing Pablo cet automne.
Apparemment, Bale et Ramirez ne sont plus attachés.

“Edgar’s in the conversation, not 100 percent. There’s a couple other people in the conversation.”
