PAUL MESCAL TO LEAD CARMEN MUSICAL MOVIE ADAPTATION! INTERGALACTIC SKY'S SF SERIES FIRST LOOK WITH CRAIG PARKINSON, ELEANOR TOMLINSON, SAVANNAH STEYN

  PAUL MESCAL  

TO LEAD CARMEN ADAPTATION

You've seen Paul in Deceived and Normal People

But as far as I've got it, it won't be a direct big screen adaptation of the famous opera by George Bizet, but a musical based on it. Benjamin Millepied, a dancer and a choreographer, is directing this as his first movie with  Paul Mescal in the male lead, Melissa Barrera in the titular role and Spanish icon Rossy de Palma in a supporting role. The film that starts filming over in Australia this January will see Mescal playing Aidan opposite Barrera's Carmen in this tragic love story. Not sure who Aiden is, but in the opera, the male lead was Don José, a naive soldier who is seduced by the wiles of the fiery gypsy Carmen. Written by Oscar winner Alexander Dinelaris, Jr. the film will have an entirely original score and nine new songs! I'm guessing they'er aiming at new Moulin Rouge.
