Mick Jagger is slated to star in a new art
heist thriller by Italian director Giuseppe Capotondi. The movie, titled The
Burnt Orange Heresy and adapted from the Charles Willeford novel of the same
name, will premiere at the Venice Film Festival, which opens next month. The
festival has described the film as an “erotic neo-noir thriller,” according to
NME.
Jagger will star as Joseph Cassidy, an
affluent art collector who recruits a couple played by Elizabeth Debicki and
Claes Bang (star of art world satire The Square) to steal a piece of art from a
well-reputed artist played by Donald Sutherland. Jagger has been in a handful
of films throughout the years, and he almost starred as Fitzcarraldo in Werner
Herzog’s 1982 masterpiece of the same name.
The Burnt Orange Heresy is slated to close out
the Venice Film Festival, screening on September 7th. It is part of a string of
art heist films in the pipeline. Universal will soon release one starring
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Ryan Reynolds, and a new remake of The Thomas
Crown Affair is in the works, and will star Michael B. Jordan. We’ll see if
these art world thrillers fare better than Velvet Buzzsaw (2019).
