…of Sean Penn, playing Cheyenne in This Must Be The Place. Check out this synopsis (via IMDB): Cheyenne, a wealthy former rock star (Penn), now bored and jaded in his
retirement embarks on a quest to find his father’s persecutor, an
ex-Nazi war criminal now hiding out in the U.S. Learning his father is close to death, he travels to New York in the
hope of being reconciled with him during his final hours, only to
arrive too late. Having been estranged for over 30 years, it is only
now in death that he learns the true extent of his father’s humiliation
in Auschwitz at the hands of former SS Officer Aloise Muller – an event
he is determined to avenge. It sort of sounds like Garry Glitter meets Apt Pupil by way of Death Wish. This is assuming, of course, that Gary Glitter would to take his penis out of a minor long enough to give a shit about his father’s death.
Anyway, the film is helmed by Italian director, Paolo Sorrentino, was written by Sorrentino and Umberto Contarello and costars Frances McDormand, Harry Dean Stanton, Shea Whigham and Eve Hewson. The image, and a few others, are via RadarOnline, who, strangely enough, classify Penn’s portrayal as a bread side dish (check out the headline). Didn’t really get that sense from the synopsis. Must be some kind of Italian leavened expressionist shit or something… You can click the image to enlarge and head over to RadarOnline for the rest of them, and a typo.
Thanks to Brian for the tip.

They must be doing a lot of green screen work, since we all know Sean Penn never leaves Haiti.
Eve Hewson, huh? Bono's daughter is pretty hot…
Gott in Himmel!
Whoa.
Yeah, I'd still do her. WHAT?! It's Sean Penn?! Sheesh, from behind only then.
Paolo Sorrentino is directing? I'm there. IL DIVO is brilliant.
where did you get Gary Glitter from other than as a poor excuse to tell a weak joke about kiddy fiddling? Penn looks almost exactly like Robert Smith (assuming he never got off smack and started earting pies as Smith is quite the bloater now)
Add Dame Judi as his widowed mother and they could call this Hedgwick and the Angry Dench.
I can't marry the image of Penn (in drag?) with the synopsis. As soon as I see Penn in that get-up, I laugh. Laughing does not mesh with the story. Me confused.
Man the Three Stooges looks great. Oh, wait.
JediBobster and M both made this whole article completely worthwhile for me.
This is being shot in Dublin. I saw the shhot this morning on my way in to work.. Any Dublin chewers reading this; Charlemont Street flats is where they are today.
They had an open casting call in August for extras in this film 15 miles from where I live in MI. Still waiting to see if I get to work a weeks worth of 10-15 hr days, or what i'd call a "vacation".
Oh that old aging Jewish rockstar dressed in drag wants to reconcile with his dying father but then seeks bloodthirsty revenge against his dead father's captors during WWII plot. BOORRRINNNGGG
From the headline I thought this was going to be about Robert Z'Dar playing Chris Frantz in a Talking Heads movie…
