I've read an interview (from Daily Telegraph, January 2004) with Bernardo Bertolucci about his new movie, The Dreamers, and he says his next project is- again- Heaven and Hell. He sounds serious this time. Here's an excerpt from the interview:
"The man [BB] himself has a lot of time for younger directors: he names Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Wong Kar-Wai, Italy's Emmanuele Crialese (Respiro) and the eccentric American Harmony Korine among his favourites. "They show me that to be alive and making movies means to try and reinvent cinema each time you make a film. They are all fascinated by cinema's evolution. This is a lively moment in film. I'm very optimistic." Happily Bertolucci is busy too. He has a new film in mind. Called Heaven and Hell, it is about Gesualdo, an aristocratic composer of madrigals in 16th-century Naples, who murdered his faithless wife and her lover. Do not expect some cosy heritage drama; Bertolucci doesn't regard it as a period piece, any more than he did The Dreamers. "When you shoot, you're always contemporary," he says flatly, "even if the actors are dressed up historically. The only tense in cinema is the present tense." One senses that there's plenty to come from the maestro yet."

Anyone has any details on this?
