UPDATE: The ultra-talented Gal Gadot has been added to the cast, via The Wrap.
EARLIER: I reported last month that Julian Schnabel (“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” was going to shoot “In the Hands of Dante” with Oscar Isaac. The film is now in production, and added to the cast are Jason Momoa and Gerard Butler, via Deadline. Schnabel has loosely based his film on Nick Tosches’s hard-boiled historical novel of the same name; the film follows a scholar who steals a valuable manuscript, defying the New York mafia.
As expected, Snyder's latest is being torn apart by TIFF attendees. No mercy given. The film, which had its world premiere this evening, is being called by some one of the worst movies to ever premiere at the festival.
