Andrew Niccol is attached to direct Dali & I: The Surreal Story, a film from Room 9 Entertainment about Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dali, played by Al Pacino. Our sources have found that Room 9 originally acquired "Dali" as a spec written by John Salvati, based on Stan Lauryssens' autobiographical book "Dali and I." Niccol will do a rewrite of the script & the company is eyeing a shoot next spring. The film will cover the life of Dali through the eyes of Lauryssens, a young art dealer who knew Dali & wife Gala. The movie will span the 1960s-1980s, covering Dali's later period when most of this great work was behind him while he became more flamboyant, focusing more on a mentor-protege relationship between Dali & Lauryssens.
