Scorsese, Keitel Make Chaos
Harvey Keitel and Martin Scorsese are working together again (remember 2002's Deuces Wild? Probably not). They're teaming to produce Chaos, a romantic drama set in New York about "two lovelorn people," according to Variety. Daphna Kastner, who is married to Mr. Keitel (they had the wedding ceremony at Robert De Niro's NYC home in 2001), wrote the script and will direct the film. Casting isn't complete yet, but its scheduled to start shooting in New York before the June 30 expiration of the Screen Actors Guild contract. read more »
Keitel to Play Jerry Springer on Stage
Harvey Keitel—yes, the same actor who played Mr. White in Reservoir Dogs and got an Oscar nod for his role in Bugsy—will play the title role in Jerry Springer: The Opera in Concert, presented at Carnegie Hall, Jan. 29 and 30.
As previously announced, Jason Moore (Avenue Q) will direct the concerts with musical direction by Stephen Oremus (Wicked). The Carnegie stint of Jerry Springer will be produced by David J. Foster, Jared Geller and Avalon Promotions.
Producers told the New York Times that should the Carnegie Hall concerts be successful they will consider bringing the controversial work to Broadway.
