Dear All, This intriguing news item may be of interest to film-philosophers. It is from an impeccable source (Vanity Fair, France), and features an amusing photoshop portrait and fine Badiou quote as to why he wants to make a Hollywood biopic on the life of Plato (with Sean Connery as Socrates and Meryl Streep as 'Madame Platon'): http://www.vanityfair.fr/actualites/international/articles/brad-pitt-alain-badiou-platon-hollywood-capitalisme-communisme/126 Badiou has mentioned this project in a number of his recent books. We will watch with interest how it develops. Regards, Robert -- *Dr Robert Sinnerbrink* *Senior Lecturer* Department of Philosophy Level 7, W6A Building Balaclava Road Macquarie University, Sydney NSW 2109, Australia *Visiting Research Professor* Theatre, Film and Television Studies, School of Culture and Creative Arts University of Glasgow http://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/cca/staff/robertsinnerbrink/ T: +61 2 9850 9935 F: +61 2 9850 8892 E: [log in to unmask] Staff Profile Page<http://www.mq.edu.au/about_us/faculties_and_departments/faculty_of_arts/department_of_philosophy/staff/robert_sinnerbrink/> Academia Page <http://mq.academia.edu/RobertSinnerbrink> Amazon Page <https://www.amazon.com/author/robertsinnerbrink> Editorial Board, Film-Philosophy Journal<http://www.film-philosophy.com/index.php/f-p> Executive Committee, Australasian Society for Continental Philosophy<http://www.ascp.org.au/> CRICOS Provider Number 00002J Please consider the environment before printing this email.
