is currently the most popular actor in the world. He played the main role in the hit “” and the series “”, which has already had its third season on Disney Plus. It turns out that the artist faced another professional challenge.
Pedro Pascal in Almodovar’s new film. The queer western will debut at Cannes
Pascal will play a gunslinger in Pedro Almodovar’s Strange Way of Life. The work is to open the 76th Film Festival in , which the director officially confirmed in Dua Lipa’s podcast. Alongside Silva, we will also see Ethan Hawke as Sheriff Jake. The cast also includes Manu Rios, known as Patrick Blanco in the series “School for the Elite”.
The film is to be a response to the Oscar-winning production of “Brokeback Mountain” with Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. Interestingly, Almodovar was supposed to direct the film, but turned down the offer, and his role was taken over by Ang Lee (Oscar winner), responsible for Sense and Sensibility. The creator of The Skin I Live In explained his decision by the fact that Hollywood was not ready for his vision.
Almodovar indicated that he wanted his version of the film to be filled with sex scenes. “The relationship between these two guys is animalistic. It was a physical relationship,” he said of his interpretation of the script. The desire to create a queer western matured in the director’s head over the years, and the 30-minute Strange Way of Life is to have everything that Brokeback Mountain lacked.
There will be a dialogue in the film that I don’t think any Western film has captured between two men, says Almodovar of the production.
“Strange Way of Life”. What is Almodovar’s latest film with Pedro Pascal about?
The picture tells the story of two retired gunfighters who live far from each other on two ends of the desert. After 25 years of separation, they meet again, trying to fix the mistakes of the past. The film will deal with the patterns of toxic masculinity, and the characters will finally try to push the relationship from youth, which has been suspended for half a century, to a dead end.
