Penélope's summer cruise not end of world for 'Melancholia'
GREGORIO BELINCHÓN

Penélope Cruz and Lars von Trier were very nearly the movie couple of 2010, but an incompatibility of agendas, due to the simultaneous summer shoots of Pirates of the Caribbean IV and Melancholia, means that the Spanish actress will not work for the Danish director - a genius of film for some and a genius of marketing for others.

The story began two years ago, when Cruz, a longtime admirer of the founder of the Dogma movement, offered him her services. So Von Trier, himself a fan of the Spanish Oscar winner, decided to write a script for her. The result is Melancholia, a title that makes reference to an enormous planet that is coming dangerously near Earth, threatening to bring all life to an end. It sounds like a disaster movie, but actually it is not: Von Trier prefers to explore the topic through "a psychological vision of the catastrophe."

Those in Berlin who have read the script of Melancholia say it is hard not to see Cruz in the lead role, and that it will have to be partly rewritten. The three other main actors have already signed their contracts.

For several weeks, Von Trier's production studio Zentropa, one of Europe's largest film companies, waited on Cruz and even contemplated shooting the movie in May rather than June, so the Spanish actress could accommodate both projects. Her character in Melancholia does not require any special physical effort, and she could have easily made the jump from Sweden to Hawaii, where the new adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow will be filmed in July.

But becoming a buccaneer does require special skills, especially in fencing, and Buenavista Studios demanded that Cruz begin taking lessons months in advance of the shoot. Von Trier then thought about delaying the filming until September, but he had to keep in mind next year's Cannes festival, where Melancholia will premiere, and the post-production delays caused by the digital effects. The final decision: to shoot in Sweden in June on a ?

4 million budget.

There is a possible culprit for all this, and his name is Rob Marshall. By the time Cruz had completed the shooting of Nine, she had fallen in love with the artistic and human qualities of the choreographer turned movie director - and vice versa.

"I love musicals, and after Nine I will certainly not reject the notion of making another one with Rob," Cruz told EL PAÍS a month ago. Ever since Marshall joined the negotiations to direct Pirates of the Caribbean IV, he had the Spanish actress in mind. Johnny Depp will remain as Captain Sparrow, but both Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, who played the two other lead roles until now, have abandoned the saga. The script is currently being rewritten to give it more consistency after Hollywood deemed it weak. Cruz's agent says that the actress really wanted to be part of Melancholia and did everything in her power to make the dates work.

So what was Von Trier doing at the Berlin Festival last weekend? He was chatting up Martin Scorsese - who was there to introduce Shutter Island - and selling Melancholia to film distributors from all over the world. The Danish press even talked about his movie being a kind of Taxi Driver, Scorsese's celebrated 1976 film.

В частности, здесь говорится, что ради съемок в "Пиратах-4" Пенелопа отказалась от съемок у Ларса фон Триера в фильме "Меланхолия", несмотря на то, что сценарий фон Триер написал специально для нее. Фон Триер пытался передвинуть съемки "Меланхолии" с июля на апрель-май, чтобы Пенелопа успела сняться у него до "Пиратов", но Пенелопа сказала, что ей придется специально готовиться к пиратской роли, в частности, много заниматься фехтованием (и она начала заниматься уже сейчас), так что она не успеет уделить время фон Триеру.

Ну, не знаю... По-моему, это жертва.

Еще один интересный кусочек из статьи:

The script is currently being rewritten to give it more consistency after Hollywood deemed it weak. - "Сценарий в настоящее время находится в стадии перезаписи, чтобы добавить в него большее количество смысла, после того, как Голливуд счел первоначальную версию слабой".

Хотелось мне верить, что проблем со сценарием не будет, но...
