'THE VIRTUOSO' CASTS
ANTHONY HOPKINS, ANSON MOUNT AND ABBIE CORNISH
 |
| Anson Mount will lead the noir thriller |
The story of the movie revolves around a professional assassin (Anson
Mount) who must track down and kill his latest target to satisfy an
outstanding debt to his mentor (Anthony Hopkins). Unlike his other
“jobs,” this assignment offers precious little information. He’s given
no name or photo, only that his target will be in a rustic diner in a
dying town at 5:00 PM. Bound by obligation, THE VIRTUOSO embarks on a
manhunt to find his
prey and accomplish the mission. Any one of the
patrons in the diner could be the mark, even the enigmatic waitress
(Abbie Cornish) who, even if she’s not the prey, could prove to be a
distraction that threatens to derail his task, and endanger his life.

| Soleri is the first part of a planned trilogy! |
The hitman in The Virtuoso was given no name or photo. It reminds me a bit of my genealogical quest to trace family members who have emigrated from Romania to USA in the first quarter of the 20th century.
ReplyDeleteI had only a name and a city name from some very old letter. It was nothing to start with. And yet I did it; it took 2-3 years on and off.
I was very proud of my achievement. I suppose I was a virtuoso in a way.
I was disappointed, however, in the descendants I had discovered - conceited and cold. Not my cup of tea at all.
That was quite an achievement! I bet those long lost relatives thought you were after some old heritage :) That is how our relatives from Bulgaria were :) I personally never had any interest in any of my relatives.
DeleteYes, it was. I managed to get into archives through the internet.
DeleteSo, things are not impossible even without initial clues.
I'm proud of you, you should open a detective agency Tel Aviv's Private Eye :)
DeleteI feel like the waitress will end up being the target. Feels like one of those stories that have been played out over and over again.
ReplyDeleteOr it might be Anthony Hopkins that is the target? He wants himself dead?
DeleteThat would be interesting!
DeleteTotally!
DeleteAbbie Cornish... Now, why does that name ring a ball. A bell.
ReplyDeleteIt is so cornyish...
DeleteI know. I can't help myself. It's one of my many character flaws. But I don't bite.
DeleteUnless asked to?
