After
Walk the Line and
Ray were the oscar delights of the last two years it's no suprise that more musical biopics are on the way. This time it's the composer
Antonio Vivaldi, with
Joseph Fiennes signed on to portray the eccentric composer and priest. More info on the plot from
Coming Soon...
"The biopic follows the composer as a young priest assigned to serve as music master of a school for the abandoned, illegitimate daughters of Venice's courtesans. He bonds with the girls, which leads to is landing a concert of his music before the pope" The movie will be directed by
Boris Damast with
Malcolm McDowell,
Zuleikha Robinson and
Jacqueline Bisset already signed on for roles. Although biopics do seem to over saturate the market at the moment, you can't deny that they are well made films that are superbly acted. Ray, Walk the Line,
The Aviator and the biopic of writer
Capote were all fantastic works of cinema. source -
