Spanish production casts up
Matthew Lewis’ 1796 novel is once again being brought to the screen.
First adapted in 1990, this latest incarnation, according to Variety, finds Dominik Moll (With a Friend Like Harry) at the helm. Vincent Cassel, Deborah Francois, Sergi Lopez (Pan’s Labyrinth) and Geraldine Chaplin (The Orphanage) have signed on to star.
Cassel is Ambrosio, the eponymous character whose life descends into temptation filled with rape, incest and torture. This is orchestrated by the devil who greets him in female form. Cassel just wrapped work on Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan.
Shooting begins this April.
