Antonio Banderas to Be Dali?

Variety reports that Antonio Banderas is about to close a deal to play Salvador Dali in Simon West's, Dali.

The film will be produced by Media 8 Entertainment. The goal for the film is for it to merge music and CGI sequences to showcase the creative process of Salvador Dali. It will also look at how the painter's work featured "sex, sin and surrealism only to succumb later to worldwide scandal and misfortune."

West also wants the film to examine Dali's affair with his wife and muse, Gala.

The plan is for this movie to shoot in Spain and England in 2009.

    People gotta stop making movies about the same people at the same time. Pacino is already set to play Salvador Dali in Dali and I: The Surreal Story, along side Cillian Murphy. Then again, two movies about Dali isn't something to be complaining about.

    I've seen some of his paintings at the MOMA San Francisco museum.

    I hate Banderas for the type of actor he has become. I thought he was going to be a big time action star after i saw Assassins. I was pleased with desperado and mask of zorro. But after a while it seemed like he lost his way and started doing same-old movies where he teaches slobby nosed highschool kids how to dance. And now this. Someone please blow my brains out for me. What are these actors getting themselves into.
