Fernando Meirelles directed one of my all-time favorite films with City of God. His follow-ups The Constant Gardner and Blindness didn’t quite live up, but I’m always excited to hear what he is doing next. Deadline is reporting he will be directed a Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon) script titled 360.
The drama, inspired by Austrian playwright Arthur Schnitzler‘s Reigen, “examines sexual morals within and between social classes, using various pairs of characters who have sexual encounters in and outside of their social classes.” The was published in 1900, where it was highly scandalous. It was already made into a French film in 1950 with La Ronde, which you can check out the opening of below.
There is no word on when production will start but check back with TFS for more updates.
