Tiens bah vu qu'on parlait de Riefenstahl récemment :
J. Michael Straczynski is fondly loved by genre fns, from BABYLON 5 to his work on both MArvel and DC to his work in cinema. Now acording to Variety Straczynski will be working on a World War II drama about the plight of Gypsies in the Marzahn Concentration Camp, according to Variety.
THE FLICKERING LIGHT, which Straczynski will direct, is based on his script about Leni Riefenstahl's filming of TIEFLAND, which used Gypsies as actors. Every day Riefenstahl would use the prisoners in her film, and at the end of the day the Gypsies would return to the terrors of Marzahn. "During the day, the prisoners were escorted to the studio by armed guard and corralled onto movie sets," said Straczynski. "They were cleaned up by the largely sympathetic Aryan crew, feasted on food unimaginable to prisoners, then dressed in period Spanish wardrobe as Riefenstahl required 'authenticity' on camera. Then after filming each day, returned, once more in rags, to the horror of the camp."
Improbable association de scénariste-réal et du sujet. Casse-gueule.
Autre projet :
Even if you're not familiar with Whitey Bulger (and anyone who follows true crime at all would be very familiar with him), you'd know him just from the fictional characters that have been inspired by him over the years, the most well-known which is Jack Nicholson's Frank Costello in THE DEPARTED. Whitey Bulger was not only an informant for the FBI, but he also ruled the criminal underworld in Boston for many years. He was finally arrested in 2011 and is still in prison in Massachusetts.
Since Bulger's arrest, Hollywood has been very interested in making a film on his life and exploits. Bulger seems a rich character to make a movie about, and it's probably long overdue. To that end, according to Deadline, Barry Levinson will be directing BLACK MASS, based on the book BLACK MASS: THE TRUE STORY OF AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE FBI AND THE IRISH MOB by Dick Lehr and Gerald O'Neill. Johnny Depp is attached to play Bulger.
Peut-être enfin un rôle intéressant pour Depp?
