The Big Screen's New Sage: Scorsese's Riveting Role!
You've seen him direct, you've seen him cameo, but you've never seen Martin Scorsese like this! The legendary filmmaker is taking on the silver screen in a "small but powerful" role that's got Tinseltown talking.
Scorsese is playing an elderly sage who leaves a lasting impact on Dante Alighieri, the famed poet behind 'The Divine Comedy,' in the upcoming crime mystery 'In the Hands of Dante.'
"He is extraordinary in the film," raves director Julian Schnabel to Variety. "You can't take your eyes off him." And it's not just Schnabel who's impressed; insiders are already lauding Scorsese's intense performance.
The film boasts an A-list ensemble with the likes of Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Gerard Butler, and Al Pacino. Based on Nick Tosches' novel, the story spans centuries, weaving a tale of a treasured manuscript that travels from a Vatican priest to a New York mob boss.
'In the Hands of Dante' is no ordinary flick. It's a journey through time, with characters leading parallel lives across the 14th and 21st centuries. Scorsese's character is a pivotal guide to Dante, played out in a series of crucial meetings that span decades but are "compressed into a few visits."
Adding to the intrigue, British musician and actor Benjamin Clementine portrays a demonic figure who flits between eras. He's not just acting; Clementine is also scoring the film.
With John Malkovich and Louis Cancelmi joining the fray, this indie film, potentially debuting at the Venice Film Festival, is shaping up to be a must-see.
