I read in my newspaper today that Heath Ledger has been named to play alongside Al Pacino in "Dali & I, The Surreal Story". He's said to play the part of Belgian Stan Lauryssens, Dali's neighbour in Cadaques, Spain. Filming would start in Spain this summer.
Stan Laureyssens wrote the book on which the screenplay is based and it's based on true facts. He was an art dealer who was involved in a scheme to sell fake works of Dali. He spent several months in a Spanish jail for this.
Heath Ledger playing a Belgian crook :o I can't wait to see this!!
Has anyone heard anything about this story? I don't know where my newspaper got the news from, but i've checked a few websites and i can't find anything. ???

No, I haven't, Fabienne, but that's an interesting little tidbit of news! I would much rather see him as a Belgian crook than the Joker, any day of the week.

Sounds interesting. Was Dali part of the scheme to sell the fake paintings, or ignorant of that?
Pacino and Heath - that's a weird combo to me. Pacino seems to have turned into such a caricature of himself in the last few years, and now often repels me. I'm sure Heath will still learn a lot from him.
I keep seeing Heath moving toward a future as a director. So all he can learn as he goes is great.

I don't think so. He was too old to be capable of painting by then. It was more his entourage who decided that the shop had to keep running so to speak.
I hope Heath will be confirmed for this part. It would be great to see then together on the big screen. IMDB only has Pacino confirmed. Stan Lauryssens was obliviously thrilled that Pacino has signed on.
