Pacino painting a picture of Dali

Their last collaboration might have been the deci🦋dedly dodgy S1m0ne, but that doesn’t seem to have cooled the relationship between Gattaca director Andrew Niccol and Al Pacino.

In fact, Al will bring his shouty/whispery chops to the screen for Dali & I: The Surreal Stoꦓry, which will span the 1960s -1980s and chronicle the period when Dali, his greatest work now behin🌳d him, chose instead to turn his life into one big work of flamboyant art.

The "I" of the title will be Stan Lauryssens, a young art deale🌼r who the great artist takes under his wing as a pওrotégé.

Production company Room 9 nabbed the script as a spec penned by John Salvati, who based his story on Lauryssens autobiographical tome Dali & I. Niccol plans to rewrite it himsel𓄧f before he picks up the megaphone for a June start date.
