Fantasy casting
So: to London yesterday: a quick look at the generator hall in the Tate Modern (which is a stunning space ad piece of art in itself) at the Rachel Whiteread cordillera of white plastic boxes --and bookshop so full of lovely things it made my heart ache.
Then: to My Beloved Agents to agree the deal on movie options for River of Gods. Which is all hugely exciting and yes, I know the odds, but you gota have hope. Can't say too much except the guy optioning it is young, very enthusiastic, energetic and smart and has the right idea --he's not going to bother with Hollywood for openers: he's going to Bollywood, for Indian money, production talent, and SFX. Indian/Western cast (though Ralph Fiennes has expressed an interest in one of the roles, and he's talking to Fernando Meirelles (Constant Gardener, City of God)as director): these things are alwasy easier to sell with talent attached. So it's fantasy casting!!
