I'd take this one with a HUGE grain of salt.... ;)

Oooh, I wish it would happen. Dali is one of my very favorite artists.

Well it certainly does sound interesting---definitely a wait and see.

Thanks Karen. There was a rumor about this awhile back. At that time they said a script by Philippe Mora was complete and it was ready to shoot as soon as a cast was in place. I agree, this sounds like a longshot. If all these rumors of Johnny projects were true, Johnny would have to make several films a year for many years! It will be interesting to see which ones actually happen.

I'm not sure I 'get' Dali.
The paintings are interesting, but .... :blink:
( Would it be ok for someone here to explain any one of these paintings mentioned in the article ? )

I don't know that you can successfully explain Dali. I think of all art as personal preference, either you like it or you don't. It's neither right or wrong. It's about as subjective as you can be.

There are a ton of SD sites out there that can help with interpreting his work. One of my fav quotes from Dali about his own work is this one:

Even he didn't know. lol

LOL...Oh really !?! :lol:
Thanks for the laugh!
I'll think about that one a little more! :blink: :lol:

Ok, I just started my learning about Dali.
Here's a very interesting comparison:
Dali's self portrait: http://www.3d-dali.com/Tour/Salvador.htm
Johnny's self portrait:

Pirates' sand dunes and boat was an idea from Dali, also, yes?

A couple more coincidences:
And there's Galatea Dunkel from 'On the Road'. Dali has a Galatea painting.
He also has a Malestrom painting, nothing like pirate boats though.
I'm noticing similarities with Tim's trees and Dali's as well.

Well, I think Johnny would do wonderful in this type of movie! :thumbsup
Really interesting idea.

YEAH!!!!!!!!

I LOVE DALI!!!!!!!!!

and Dali played by Johnny would be SO WONDERFUL.

OMG OMG!!!!!! :snoopy woohoo :shistle



But time will tell huh. :rolleyes:

Amazing finds Depputante!

I read this as a movie Johnny was trying to set up under IN, not necessarily one he, himself you star in. :unsure:

Gee, the first paragraph says:

I wonder if Johnny's a fan of M. C. Escher? One of my faves.

I don't see it on IMDB, although the project might not be up to that stage yet.

IMDB lists Johnny as participating in 6 films currently being made:

Sin City 3 (2009) (in production) (rumored) .... Wallace
The Rum Diary (2009) (in production) .... Paul Kemp
Sin City 2 (2009) (pre-production) (rumored)
Shantaram (2009) (pre-production) .... Lindsay
Public Enemies (2009) (pre-production) .... John Dillinger
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) (filming) (attached)

Thanks Carpediem, I think some of those really are "time will tell" projects. ;)

Supposedly Johnny has been searching for the perfect screnwriter for him to play Dali. This article says that is a load of...%$#@

wow....very cool comparison, Depputante :thumbsup
I was looking for JD self portrait.
I find it better than Dali's.
