“Cowboy boots, curious as a child, happy to go 135 km/h…”
[Google Translated from Italian…]
ST.MORITZ – It was an impromptu, no one knew. Not even the staff of the track by Bob in St. Moritz. Sunday afternoon at the counter of the Info-Point’s Olympia Bob Run occurred Jeremy Irons, the English film star who has starred in Hollywood, among others, “Mission,” “Stealing Beauty”, “The Iron Mask” and “Die Hard 2 – Die Hard”. Really hard, in fact, jumped the track at 135 km / h with Bob.
Jeremy is a very approachable person. It is pleasantly entertained with the staff of the runway, pilots, and the people present. A little ‘agitation at the start, but when he returned the truck, along with Bob and bobbisti, was enthusiastic. With his boots Cow Boy, wanted at all costs push the truck from Bob at the start of the track.
He wanted to know all the details that are experienced during a descent. The pilot historian Donald Holstein gave technical and scientific explanations. Jeremy enjoyed himself. The Director of the track Roberto Triulzi (pictured): “An actor, a planetary star, but really genuine.”
Jeremy Irons in ‘Night Train to Lisbon’
Jeremy Irons has joined Bille August’s adaptation of Pascal Mercier’s bestselling novel Night Train to Lisbon for Studio Hamburg Production and C-Films.
According to Variety, Night Train to Lisbon will start filming on 8 March in Bern, Switzerland. It will also film in Lisbon, Portugal. Filming will take place over the course of about two months.
Screen Daily reports that Billie August is currently prepping “Night Train to Lisbon,” an adaptation of the best-selling thriller by Pascal Mercier, and he’s assembled an all-star international group of actors for the project. Jeremy Irons takes the lead, a Swiss professor who becomes obsessed with a mysterious book that sends him off on a journey to the Portugese city of the title, and joining him are Vanessa Redgrave, Bruno Ganz, Mélanie Laurent, Christopher Lee and Lena Olin
Based on the best-selling book by Pascal Mercier, the story follows a Swiss professor who saves a beautiful Portuguese woman from leaping to her death, only to come across a mesmerizing book by a Portuguese author that compels him to leave his boring life and embark on an adventure in search of the scribe. Here’s the Amazon synopsis:
In Swiss novelist Mercier’s U.S. debut, Raimund Gregorius is a gifted but dull 57-year-old high school classical languages teacher in Switzerland. After a chance meeting with a Portuguese woman in the rain, he discovers the work of a Portuguese poet and doctor, Amadeu de Prado, persecuted under Salazar’s regime. Transfixed by the work, Gregorius boards a train for Lisbon, bent on discovering Prado’s fate and on uncovering more of his work. He returns to the sites of Prado’s life and interviews the major players—Prado’s sisters, lovers, fellow resistors and estranged best friend—and begins to lose himself. The artful unspooling of Prado’s fraught life is richly detailed: full of surprises and paradoxes, it incorporates a vivid rendering of the Portuguese resistance to Salazar.
Martina Gedeck (“The Lives of Others”), Jack Huston (the half-face dude in “Boardwalk Empire”), August Diehll (“Inglourious Basterds”), and Portugese actors Nicolau Breyner, Adriano Luz, Jose Wallenstein and Beatriz Batarda round out the cast. It’s a very exciting collection of talent, and we hope it signifies good things about the script, and a possible return to form for August. The film, a U.S.-Swiss-German co-production, is set to shoot in March next year, so we likely won’t see it until sometime in 2013.
