MOVIESSpider in the Web
Oscar-winning actor Ben Kingsley (“Gandhi,” “Schindler’s List”) and Monica Bellucci (“Spectre”) will co-star in “Spider in the Web,” a counterespionage thriller helmed by Eran Riklis (“Lemon Tree”). Film Constellation has pre-sold Ben Kingsley and Monica Bellucci espionage thriller “Spider in the Web” in territories including Germany and China, as the stars are seen together in an exclusive first-look image from the movie. Production has just wrapped on the film, which is helmed by Eran Riklis and was shot in Belgium and the Netherlands. Concorde has picked it up for Austria and Germany, and Lemon Tree Media for China. Tanweer has prebought it for Greece and Cyprus. A studio deal is thought to be in the cards in another major territory. Set in modern-day Europe and inspired by true events, the story follows a once-lauded but aging secret agent, Adereth (Kingsley), whose bosses want to put him out to grass. He embarks on a covert mission that involves finding the enigmatic Angela (Bellucci), while also being tracked by a rival agent played by Itay Tiran (“Lebanon”). Who is hunting whom becomes the question. The film is produced by United King Films’ Moshe Edery and Leon Edery, Michael Sharfshtein of Topia Communications, Eran Riklis, Jacqueline de Goeij for Ciné Cri de Coeur (Belgium), Sabine Brian and Ronald Versteeg for NL Films (Holland), and Eyal Edery for Dragocom (Portugal). Executive producers are Ira Riklis, Dana Lustig and Film Constellation’s Fabien Westerhoff. The screenplay was written by Gidon Maron and Emmanuel Nakkache. Film Constellation co-financed and is handling worldwide sales. It launched it internationally in Berlin.
MOVIESMonica Bellucci Should Return To The 'James Bond'
According to The List, Daniel Craig has expressed a desire for Monica Bellucci to reprise her role as Lucia Sciarra, for his upcoming and final appearance as James Bond. This is unprecedented, for several reasons. Giving any former lover, especially one over the age of 25, even a second glance would be shockingly out of character for the aging rapscallion. Not to mention, Bellucci is 53 years old, and despite being almost supernaturally attractive, she is the oldest Bond girl in the history of the franchise, by a wide margin. In fact, she’s (gasp) even older than Craig himself. Whether the rumor is true or not, it’s an interesting idea that the producers should seriously consider. I’m pretty sure James Bond would find a woman his age terribly intimidating, but perhaps Craig understands that the character needs a new challenge. The world is changing, and Bond is an elderly character, with old-fashioned values. The recent films have even started acknowledging that Bond’s fast-paced lifestyle, steadied by a diet of hard liquor and casual sex, is something to be pitied rather than aspired to. The character’s life remains an escapist fantasy, but the polish has worn away, revealing a sad, lonely alcoholic. The face of Hollywood is changing too. Especially the ogrish face of Harvey Weinstein, whose totally secret (cough) and incredibly surprising (cough) assaults on women seem to have sparked a wave of sexual assault survivors to come forward and share their stories. Suddenly, every celebrity in Hollywood is “shocked and saddened” by the allegations against the sleazy producer who has been openly mocked for his predatory behavior for decades. Seems like it’s not okay to be a creep in the entertainment industry anymore. And as part of the attempt to scrub the filth off the glossy veneer of Hollywood, James Bond needs to clean up his act too. Because the image of a wealthy, powerful, middle-aged man constantly chasing vulnerable twenty-year-olds is starting to look a bit creepy. As one of the oldest and most consistent faces of cinema, it’s important that James Bond reflects the supposed values of the industry that spawned him. He’s always going to be the archetypical action man, but that doesn’t mean he has to maintain his misogynistic streak. Bringing Belucci back and expanding her role might lay the groundwork to transform the ultra-disposable Bond girl into a woman, with a more substantial part to play in Bond’s future adventures. Not to mention, it’s Craig’s last time in the tuxedo. No really, it’s the last time. If he’s forced to do another one, he really will slash his wrists. We all know the character will be modernized and rebooted with a fresh-faced actor the moment Daniel Craig leaves. Craig is undoubtedly thinking of the legacy he leaves behind him, which will soon be the longest-serving Bond in history, overtaking Roger Moore at 13 years. So it makes sense to not only go out with a bang, but with dignity. Craig’s story has touched on the “aging agent adrift in the modern world” theme several times; finally pairing with someone that shares his life experience and cynical outlook might be the happy ending his grizzled Bond deserves.
