The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the actor will be the executive producer on a biopic about the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. The movie will be written and produced by Kira Madallo Sessay. Now with the 125th anniversary of the artist death coming up in 2015 they are looking to release the film either on or around that time.
Rutger did have this to say about the project:
“I feel there is so much more to tell about ‘the man who cut off his ear.’ It will be a great adventure to search for him in a contemporary film.”
Now this isn’t the only time a film has been made about this artist. There was a 1956 movie called ‘Lust for Life’. This movie had Kirk Douglas as famous painter. Now with other movies and projects that have been done on this artist the back have said this one will have his entire life story not just his life after his mental illness was full blown.
The filming location for this movie will be throughout Europe and other countries where Van Gough resided in.
This could be a very interesting move for this actor. What are your thoughts on this?? Tell us below.
