Let's get after it. Thank you to the producers for finding a backer!!!

Jockney22, I don't think this will be performed a la stage, but out in the real world. But I totally agree with you. In this day and age of digital etc. etc. Surely they have thought of capturing this man's brilliant performances for generations to come....Does anyone know whether they have, as you say like a Picasso, or Rembrandt, or the written music of the Masters..... Why can't we find this out...and if it's not being done...get after it..for another topic maybe. :)

I gues you all konw that a part of that movie will be fillmed in Belgrade. Its a strange coincience that I live in that city. Imagine my happynes. But unfortunately I heard rummors that they will delay the fillming until next year. Also on february 20. he will be in Belgrade opening a film festival so I hope I will see him.

[trugannini]

You Must go and see him!!! And you Must take your camera!!! The pre-production will begin at the end of this year Aleksandra, just think you have all of that anticipation..oooooh, you will be exhausted by year's end!! :)
Take the day off work when he comes and prepare yourself for his arrival. I am in Australia...too far for me to come. Hope you are enjoying the Site. :)

When he was recently in Belgrade, wearing soccer jumpers and swanning about with the producers of Coriolanus....it looks like we're on a winner here. Can someone please put on this topic the pic of the producer's father with Ralphie wearing that great soccer top......?? :) Any word from the Vanessa Redgrave
camp about her participation?? Ralph was fabulous in Belgrade, they just loved him and the mayor promising to give Ralph full support with Coriolanus....looking Good girls!! :)

[Liza]

Her you are : ) .....

[trugannini]

Thank you Liza!! Well, here is Ralph with the father of the expected producer of Coriolanus with that No. 10 Soccer Jumper (those who are watching Ralph's wardrobe take note :) )it's even got his name across the bottom of the jumper!!

With all this support, if Coriolanus doesn't get off the ground I will be very surprised!! :) :)

[jockney22]

Ha Ha I like these pics:)

[trugannini]

The script has been modified to appeal to modern day audiences, and instead of a spear, Ralph will be carrying something close to an AK47....He recently said that he wants it to on the edge of your seat thriller.....about how power corrupts.....

hopefully this will be an oscar movei - best actor, director, and best pciture and many others

[trugannini]

It does have that feel Sandra, but don't hold your breath. Ralph is just too good for Oscars! They need
to invent another category, just for Him. :)

[jockney22]

Yeah, they could call it the Ralph (sounds like Rafe) Award.

And it will stand for people who can actually act:)

[jockney22]

OK Mr. Ralph.

We all want update quick bites on behind the scenes of you directing. You're a smart man and It would be interesting just to hear you direct other actors, etc. Or you could show us discussing the business of your film, anything, if it doesn't detract from your getting the movie done well. Break a leg.
