Gerard Butler and Ralph Fiennes go Shakespearean
Oh No They Didn't! —
... at the helm, though a solid cast should help with that. It was one of the projects at the IFF this September, and I hope they found someone to give them some money. Not only does the world always need more Shakespeare, but Butler needs a meaty role now. Seeing as it was Steven Berkoff's Coriolanus was what ushered Butler into acting, I can think of no better production (save perhaps The Scottish Play) that could wrangle him another plea bargain. source Fucking YES! This is the kind of stuff I want to see Gerry do! His very first ...

... , of all places, that he's getting ready to star in Shakespare's Coriolanus , alongside Ralph Fiennes, William Hurt, Vanessa Redgrave, and Jessica Chastain (Chastain will be featured in Terrence Malick's Tree of Life , which just got pushed back to a release date next year). As reported by Cinematical , Butler calls it "a passion project" for both himself at Fiennes, even though Butler isn't saying what his role will be. Fiennes is playing the lead, of course, and will be directing; the role best suited to Butler seems to be Tullus Aufidius, Coriolanus' sworn enemy who ...

GerardButler S o it turns out Gerard Butler has a passion, and it’s not keeping his abs looking airbrushed. It’s not that I dislike the actor, on the contrary I’m a fan but I’ve never considered him a “serious” actor, just more of a Blockbuster guy with a great accent. His star seems on the upswing but I never really thought that we’d see him in anything beyond the next big blockbuster but it looks like the Scotsman is ready to work his thespian side. Cinematical is reporting that during an interview with a radio station, Butler announced that he has signed on to star in ...
Gerard Butler cast in ‘Coriolanus’
Scottish Actors —
... in his directing debut, which was adapted by John Logan. On a very awkward appearance on Baltimore WJX, Butler revealed that his next role would be in Fiennes' adaptation, and he described it as "a passion project" for them both. He didn't specify which role he would be taking on, but I'm hoping it's Coriolanus' sworn enemy, Tullus Aufidius. He always looks so good with blood on him, and it would be glorious to watch him fight Fiennes. Source ...

Gerard Butler & Jessica Simpson: the date aftermath
Cele|bitchy —
... Meanwhile, Gerry kind of announced that he will be taking a supporting role in a film version of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, with Ralph Fiennes as director and starring as Coriolanus. I saw this play many years ago at the Washington D.C. Shakespeare theatre and I loved it. I bet Ralph will do a good job with it, although he is a little too old for the lead. But whatever, two of my favorite men in the same movie! Hurray! William Hurt and Vanessa Redgrave have also signed on. Excellent. Jessica won’t get the story, though. ...
