Actor Alan Cumming to play Salvador Dali in upcoming film

Alan Cumming, who’s currently playing against type as a ruthless campaign manager on The Good Wife, will play

Salvador Dali in an upcoming film.

The movie, directed by Australian Philippe Mora, will start shooting this summer, and it will be in 3D—the first time (we know of) that the technology will be used for a film focused on art instead of action.

Because it’s a film about Dali, one of (it not the) greatest surrealist artist, it won’t be your average biopic, but instead “a series of dream-like, fantasy sequences intersected with reality, [that are] profoundly evocative of Dali’s art.”

It will be interesting to see if this makes the cut.

It is time for a film that depicts Dali in his true light, as the Master of Surrealism.
