Three Salvador Dali Biopics?!?!

We jsut heard that Antonio Banderas is in final negotiations to play Salvador Dali in a biopic to be directed by the guy who directed CON AIR. No, we're not making that up.

But it gets weirder. This is the THIRD Dali biopic that will supposedly see the light of day in the next two years...another starring Al Pacino (DALI + I: THE SURREALIST STORY) and one staring the kid who got killed at the end of the fourth Harry Potter movie by Lord Voldemort (LITTLE ASHES).

We don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand, yay, Surrealist-themed movies! But on the other hand, Dali was the most commercial and accessible of the Surrealists, so much so that he was even ostracized for embracing classicist painting techniques.

But despite his presence on every wall in every college dorm in the country, we still like Dali. And I know that's what counts. I suppose we'll simply have to remain conflicted about the biopics.

Vince out.
