PARIS, JE T’AIME
Late-breaking news: Wes has Just finished filming a segment for a film called PARIS, JE T'AIME. That's "Paris, I Love You" in French, by the way. Paris has twenty districts, so the concept of the film (produced by the makers of AMELIE and many other great films) was to invite 20 directors from around the world to shoot 20 five-minute-long shorts, each set in a particular district. They'll all be woven into a feature-length film that will screen in Cannes next year. My short was shot in the vast and world-famous Pere Lachaise Cemetery, which is in the 20th Arrondissement (district) in Paris. It's set around the grave of Oscar Wilde, who is among the dozens of famous people who are buried there (including Jim Morrison).
Here are a few pictures from that project.
The wonderful actors of my segment, Emily Mortimer and Rufus Sewell in front of Oscar Wilde's gravesite.
This is from my cameo in Vicenzo Natali's segment. I played a businessman preyed upon by Olga Kurylenko. Elijah Wood also stars in this segment.
Alexander Payne (left) also directed a segment of PARIS, JE T'AIME. In his spare time, he was kind enough to make a cameo appearance in my film.
