Quendrith JohnsonQuendrith Johnson is filmfestivals.com Los Angeles Correspondent covering everything happening in film in Hollywood... Well, the most interesting things, anyway. ASPERN PAPERS: Henry James Gets Jonathan Rhys Meyers, a Redgrave & a Richardsonby Quendrith Johnson, Los Angeles Correspondent Want some film news? Okay. This lazy heat of summer meets Summerstorm Entertainment (Germany) with an announcement about the Henry James adapt THE ASPERN PAPERS now shooting in Venice, Italy. They've added Jonathan Rhys Meyers to a cast that already includes some marquee names, notably Vanessa Redgrave, Joely Richardson, and Poppy Delevingne, as well as a newcomer, Morgane Polanski. What? You've heard that last name before somewhere? Yes, she is the daughter of Roman Polanski and Emmanuelle Seigner. Hey, Morgane's brother is named Elvis Polanski, she has only the Arthurian Legend to bear, not the Graceland baggage, luckily. And get this: Rhys Meyers was once EMMY-nominated playing Elvis... a tenuous connection, yes, and possibly an even worse segue? Granted. How about James Ivory executive produced this, an important detail to remember. Read on. On That Note: The Press Notes for THE ASPERN PAPERS Jon Kortajarena, Poppy Delevingne, Morgane Polanski, Alice Aufray and Barbara Meier Join the Cast with Production Underway in Venice, Italy VENICE, ITALY (August 4, 2017) Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Match Point, “The Tudors”), Jon Kortajarena (A Single Man, “Quantico”), Poppy Delevingne (King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Kingsman: The Golden Circle), Morgane Polanski (“Vikings,” The Ghost Writer), Alice Aufray (Un village presque parfait) and Barbara Meier (Schreie der Vergessenen) have joined Academy Award® Winner Vanessa Redgrave (Foxcatcher, Julia, Howards End) and Golden Globe® Nominee Joely Richardson (Snowden, “Nip/Tuck,”The Patriot) in the adaptation of Henry James’s novel The Aspern Papers.
