http://www.blic.rs/culture.php?id=5393Gerard Butler to arrive in BelgradeGerard Butler, the popular Scottish actor who became famous after the role of King Leonidas in a film “300”, will have a role in the film “Coriolanus”. Shooting of the film starts in March next year in Belgrade.
The film will be directed by Ralph Fiennes who has the main role. Apart from Fiennes and Butler in “Coriolanus” which is a modern version of the well-know play by Shakespeare, William Hurt and Vanessa Redgrave will also be part of the cast.
This will be Fiennes’s direction debut and the famous actor said that he chose Butler for this role because he has already had a role in the same theatre play. Last year Fiennes visited Serbia twice in order to see the potential shooting locations. Buildings which have left the strongest impressions on Fiennes are The Palace of Serbia and IMT factory. He has also visited Deliblatska pescara, Petrovardin and the PINK film studio in Simanovci. During his second visit in November last year, Fiennes met Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic, who promised the famous actor to have the police forces, gendarmerie and cavalry at his disposal for the shooting.
“Coriolanus” is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, based on the life of the legendary Roman leader, Gaius Martius Coriolanus. This Roman general got the name Coriolanus after conquering the Volscian city of Corioles in 493 BC. Condemned as a traitor, he was banished.
