Odyssey head to Cannes
Odyssey Entertainment are heading to Cannes with two new slate additions, 'The Libertine', starring Johnny Depp, John Malkovich and Samantha Morton, and 'The Blue Afternoon', directed by Bruce Beresford and starring Olivier Martinez and Sam Neill.
The Libertine stars Depp as the real-life Earl of Rochester, the notoriously debauched 17th century poet who died at 33 a physical wreck. Malkovich, whose Mr Mudd production company has been developing the project since he starred in the original play as Rochester, will play King Charles II. Morton plays a struggling young actress with whom Rochester becomes enraptured.
The Blue Afternoon marks Australian-born Beresford's first production in Asia and Australia since Paradise Road. Adapted by William Boyd from his own novel, the film will star Martinez as a doctor in turn of the century Manila who becomes embroiled in the investigation into the guerrilla attacks on the notorious American 49th battalion and their evangelical, psychopathic colonel, played by Neill.
