John Malkovich plays like ambiguous figures, those in which you don't know whether to like you or fear - so it could be interesting if he will be in London in the summer as Barney Fine on the stage. Barney Fine is, in fact, even if not directly, to Harvey Weinstein based the actually consistently outlaws film producers, the countless Actresses, various sexual Assault accused and the case promoted the rise of the "Me Too". Malkovich has announced on Tuesday in an Interview with the BBC that he Wheat in David Mamets "Bitter" the main is to play the role, the Director wants to lead Mamet himself, the Premiere is on 7. June at the Garrick Theatre will take place.

Malkovich has described the piece as "a black Farce about a movie Mogul who can't behave". Whether the Comedy is the correct Form to edit the case, Weinstein, Malkovich asked then - after all, producers of cream of Tartar are in the Hollywood, even if he should be condemned for nothing, and several rape allegations in the area and a number of ruined careers, unwilling Actresses. "A lot of great pieces ask the question whether you should laugh or cry. I think great comedies are often found at the intersection between pain and a Farce," said Malkovich.

"With the Odyssey is comparable to, say, people, have you read"

It will not be a form of sexual Assault - but also, and especially, to Hollywood, where so is for "Bitter" advertised Wheat, "everything is for sale except the prices, which you can rent." The whole advertising text sounds a bit like that, have him concocted Mamet and Malkovich together: Barney's decline, says, "with the Odyssey is comparable to, say, people, you read".

The screenwriter and playwright David Mamet, "Glengarry Glen Ross", "who has written untouchables" and "Wag the Dog", told Vanity Fair a year ago, he was going to write a piece about Weinstein. With the theme of abuse of power and power struggle, which is also based on the Weinstein-scandal, he has been involved again: One of his greatest successes was in 1992, "Oleanna," about a Professor and his student, - you do not know the law, wrote Roger Ebert at the time, about whether or not you've seen it as a sexual harassment or a self-righteous Incursion of Political Correctness. The reason for "Oleanna" were the hearings in the American Senate to the allegations that Anita Hill brought against the then-Supreme court nominee Clarence Thomas.
