Great thread.
Wondering if anyone knows anything new about this one… looks like Juliette Binoche was set to be in it, but since this article and others like it announcing the project wwre published in January 2020 it’s easy to see why it hasn’t happened yet. (I haven’t finished viewing the documentary series yet, so maybe he mentions it later on… or maybe the HBO doc project was in some fashion a way of helping him let go of this one.)
From the article: “It’s a passion project of the actor, writer, and filmmakers — one that he previously tried to make in Cuba while Fidel Castro was still in power. Instead, shooting will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this year, with the goal of wrapping production by Christmas. Hawke hopes to cast Juliette Binoche in one of the key roles and is lining up the rest of his ensemble. He will not act in the film.” |
