Now, now, fish, you should know by now that everything belongs to America.

[Dahls]

Thank god that's not really true.

[fish]

She's been busy.
We all know about the stage shows coming up.
But all the while I was sure something else was going on.

And then I found this.

"Road movie in the studio: Shooting begins on Edgar Honetschläger "Billionaire"

Rome (APA) - Today, Monday, start in Rome filming "Billionaire", the new film project by Austrian artist and filmmaker Edgar Honetschläger. The rich in unusual ideas of his design Linzers that at the Expo in Nagoya caused a stir with "chicken suits" in 2005, experiencing growth through "the first road movie in the history of film, which is shot in a studio."

"A very pretty Roman girl, a Japanese goddess and the devil meet each other in the Eternal City and go with a vintage from the 50s to Hollywood. The journey leads through a signed and painted America, "promises the synopsis of the 90-minute feature film. "For 3 1/2 years male and I draw for the movie," says Honetschläger, "America is great ..."

1,200 square meters and 700 square painting drawings, in which many citations great films of the past have been incorporated were so created. Excited about Rolling Strip Background machines, which are set by three cardinals in motion draws the scenery past the camera.

"Since 2001, I connect from my subscribed sets with actors, but in 2002, the desire to make a full-length feature film with this method was formed," said Honetschläger ("Aun", "Milk", "Omsch", etc.) to APA. "I have 12 years to, Billionaire fought ', because it met nothing but incomprehension, and now finally I can make it happen!"

Inter alia, with the support of ÖFI, Vienna Film Fund, ORF and the region of Upper Austria, the project was put on the legs with an international cast. Beginning and end of the movie playing in the real Rome and in the real Los Angeles, in between is rotated in a Viennese studio of the road trip through America.

Before starting, however, additional hassle was announced: The measure provided for the lead role of a young, working in a Renaissance palace museum attendant Italian film actress increasingly turned absurd additional requirements and was in the last minute replaced after strenuous auditions by the 21-year-old Frenchwoman Pauline Acquart.

"Billionaire" is slated for release in autumn 2015."

I tips me very French beret to you Pauline.

[DMt.]

Sounds great, Fishy! And it seems they auditioned hard before getting l'Acquart, too...

At last, a new film role for la FAB.

Knock 'em dead, Pauline!

[Ian]

Coooooool.

[DMt.]

All this and nearly 87k views too!

[Dahls]

Nice.

Sounds like something that might tour the festivals.
What great news.

[DMt.]

When l'Acquart is counted among the greatest actresses of our time, this thread's work will be done...

Lorsque l'Acquart est compté parmi les plus grandes actrices de notre temps, le travail de ce fil sera fait ...

[fish]

Might take a little while for that yet.

Billionaire sounds a little more ambitious than the festival circuit from what I'm reading into Austrian writer/director Edgar Honetschläger's words.
Be great if that turns out to be the case.

Rehearsals have started.
There are a number of brief audio interviews on Soundcloud posted on Twatter yesterday.
Pauline's is in Fench and only 24 seconds long, but you can find it, and the other three, here.

[fish]

Billionaire.
From day one rehearsals.



(I'm a little disappointed there wasn't a great influx of day two pics, but what can you do?)

[Ian]

Nice.

[DMt.]

Liking PAB's Dalek skirt...

[fish]

No Pauline, it wasn't me.
Dave said that.


Flanked by Kaya-chan and the Devil, Lydia sets out for revenge.

[DMt.]
