Now here’s something I’m interested in. Al Pacino has reportedly signed on to play the famed surrealist painter Salvador Dali in an upcoming biopic based on the book Dali & I: The Surreal Story by Stan Lauryssens. From what I understand (and also expect, based on his work) Salvador Dali was a pretty eccentric guy, and he created some of the strangest art from the last century (he also apparently designed the logo for Chupa Chups lollipops!). The movie will focus on the latter part of his life, when he was at his most “surreal”, as it were.

The thing that I’m most excited about here is the fact that Andrew Niccol is directing, the guy who wrote and directed Gattaca and Lord of War, and also penned The Truman Show (okay, so he also wrote and directed the Pacino dud S1m0ne as well). Above all though, I simply can’t wait to see Pacino with that weird ass thin mustache. Dali & I is set to start filming this June in New York and Spain.
