Ralph Fiennes will direct a feature film about the life of Russian ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev.
He will reunite with David Hare, who he previously worked with on The Reader, for the BBC Films project.
Fiennes is not thought to be in contention to play Nureye, who died in 1993 at the age of 53.
According to Screen Daily, the film is expected to focus on his defection from the Soviet Union to the West in 1961, and the attempts of the Kgb to stop him doing so.
The currently untitled drama is expected to begin production in late 2016. Philomena's Gabrielle Tana and former Pathe executive Francois Ivernel are on board to produce.
Fiennes and Hare will also work together on a new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's The Master Builder at the Old Vic next year.

The Groundhog Day stage musical will receive its world premiere in London.
The production will open at the Old Vic in June 2016 ahead of its Broadway transfer.
Matthew Warchus has included the musical in the lineup for his first season as the Old Vic's artistic director.
Warchus has already signed up to direct the musical, which will have a script penned by the film's original writer Danny Rudin and music by Matilda composer Tim Minchin.
Speaking about the musical, Warchus told BBC News: "It needs a large audience and a large stage, and I wanted to start it in this country, so it's the perfect match."
Groundhog Day starred Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell, and centred on a grumpy weatherman named Phil Connors who found himself stuck in a seemingly never-ending time-loop.

The hipster vibe in writer/director Noah Baumbach's While We're Young eventually became too much for me to bear. Looking back on it now, it begins immediately with quotes from Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's "The Master Builder" expressing an aging generation's fear of the younger generation. This is a general theme on which the film focuses as it explores a couple in their mid-40s and the discontent that has set in as their friends are all having children, becoming the societal definition of what it means to be an adult. For the first 30 minutes or so I'm rolling with this, but once While We're Young gets knee deep into its story I found myself drowning in a subculture with which I can't connect or even understand. The film's test subjects are Josh and Cornelia (Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts), a mid-40s couple on the edge of a mid-life crisis,...

“I’ve become so disturbed by younger people!” “What? Younger people?” The trailer for Noah Baumbach’s forthcoming Frances Ha follow-up While We’re Young is undoubtedly the only teaser for a Ben Stiller vehicle to frame itself with quotes from Henrik Ibsen’s The Master Builder. Older couple Stiller and Naomi Watts meet younger partners Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried and ends up wandering around Bushwick; musings on aging and maturity follow, but it’s funny anyway. It’s also very nice to see Charles Grodin back in action, in his first feature since 2006’s The Ex. The film opens March 27.

You might say that actor and theater director André Gregory creates theater Boyhood-style: He and his compatriots, chief among them actor and playwright Wallace Shawn, have been known to rehearse certain plays for a decade and more, gradually building on them, revisiting them, allowing them to change shape and texture as the participants age. That's how Gregory approached Henrik Ibsen's 1892 chestnut The Master Builder. Over the years he and Shawn — who had retranslated the play himself, despite the fact that he knows no Norwegian — would perform the play for friends. Now, even those of us who aren't a Foa or a Fow (Friend of André or Friend of Wallace, that is) can see what these two have been cooking up all these years: Jonathan De...

Before The Lego Movie could hit theaters last Friday, some assembly was required.
Correction: A lot of assembly.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s incredibly entertaining “block”buster is a hyperkinetic Frankenfilm, cobbled together from a variety of sources both huge (the classic “hero’s journey” monomyth) and teeny (does a certain dolphin noise sound familiar?). The movie is also filled with casting in-jokes, snippets of dialogue borrowed from other movies, and callbacks to the directors’ past work.

Director Jonathan Demme captures the team of Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory staging a new adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s “The Master Builder.”
The dynamic duo behind My Dinner with Andre and Vanya on 42nd Street take on another classic of the stage in their big-screen Henrik Ibsen adaptation, Fear of Falling.
With Jonathan Demme replacing the late Louis Malle at the helm, this terrifically performed version of The Master Builder -- based on a screenplay by Wallace Shawn, from his own translation of the Norwegian text -- channels the rage, joy and delusions of an aging architect’s final days, where a ghost from his past (played by the exuberant Lisa Joyce) guides him to the great beyond. Premiering in the Rome Film Festival’s experimental CinemaXXI section, this dense and occasionally poetic chamber piece should appeal to very upscale audiences both at fests and -- despite production values...

The candlelit Sam Wannamaker theatre is on the same site as the Globe, where Arterton made her professional stage debut
Forget Quantum of Solace and Prince of Persia, Gemma Arterton is about to play the Duchess of Malfi in the inaugural production at the Shakespeare's Globe new indoor theatre, which is on the same site as the Globe.
The 350-seat Sam Wanamaker theatre – named after the Globe's founder – is the only recreation of an indoor Jacobean theatre in the UK and will be lit entirely by candles as it would have been in Shakespeare's day.
The Globe's artistic director Dominic Dromgoole has specified that the theatre will be used to showcase the work of Shakespeare's contemporaries. John Webster's revenge tragedy, last seen in London at the Old Vic with Globe regular Eve Best in the title role, will open in January with Dromgoole directing.

"Fear of Falling," the latest by Jonathan Demme, will make its world premiere this fall at the 8th annual Rome Film Festival (November 8-17). Adapted from 19th-century Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's "The Master Builder," the film is written by stage scribe and actor Wallace Shawn, who plays the leading role. "Fear of Falling" costars Andre Gregory, with whom Shawn has been an artistic partner for over 40 years (see them together as co-writers and onscreen in Louis Malle's wonderful 1981 "My Dinner with Andre"). Julie Hagerty, Larry Pine and Lisa Joyce also star in "Fear of Falling," Demme's first theatrical film since 2008's "Rachel Getting Married." That film nabbed lead actress Anne Hathaway an Oscar nom. Since then, Demme has directed TV episodes for such series as HBO's "Enlightened" and AMC's "The Killing," among other projects. He won the Best Director Oscar in 1992 for "The Silence of the Lambs."

Is it even possible that a more interesting group will coalesce during this week? I’m going to go ahead and say “no.”
Per a report in The New York Times, we can tell you that Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory — best known for their Louis Malle-directed My Dinner with André and Vanya on 42nd Street — will reunite for a third (and possibly final) time on Wally and André Shoot Ibsen, their experimental adaptation of Henrik Ibsen‘s play, The Master Builder. Directing it all? Mr. Jonathan Demme.
The project found a genesis when, as Shawn claims, he and Gregory set out about 14 years ago to put their own spin on this story. All this time was necessary, seeing as the former took the time to translate the original Norwegian text into English, make some “adapting” choices where he saw fit, and then stage it with his frequent partner for personal friends.

Even his detractors must admit that there's a glorious unpredictability in watching the career of Jonathan Demme. In the last decade alone, he's directed two remakes of 1960s classics, documentaries on Neil Young, Haitian activist Jean Dominique and former President Jimmy Carter, indie drama "Rachel Getting Married," episodes of TV series "A Gifted Man" and "Enlightened," and, on the way, an animated adaptation of Dave Eggers' "Zeitoun" and Stephen King time-travel thriller "11/22/63." But his next film? It's something even more unexpected.
The New York Times reports that Demme is teaming up with theater legends Wallace Shawn and André Gregory, who each starred in Louis Malle's "My Dinner With André" and "Vanya On 42nd Street" (the latter of which Gregory co-directed), on a new film entitled "Wally And André Shoot Ibsen," which will shoot in New York in the spring.

London, Feb 6: Gemma Arterton, who has posed for the March issue of Vogue, has said that this is her last "sexy" men's magazine shoot as she wants to take control of her career.
The 26-year-old actress, who starred in 'Tamara Drewe' and 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles', has been approached to star in a film adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's 'The Master Builder' after appearing in a London stage version last year.
It is a long way from the early days of her career, when she made her breakthrough as Bond girl Strawberry Fields in 'Quantum of Solace'.
Arterton told Vogue magazine that she has mixed feelings about being.

Gemma Arterton is taking a break from Hollywood to spend more time with her husband. The "Tamara Drewe" actress is planning to reduce her film roles so she and her 37-year-old spouse Stefano Catelli, who she married in a low-key ceremony in Spain on June 5, can enjoy their first year of married life.
"I love married life," she said. "And I decided it was about time I took a break from filming and working abroad so we can spend more time together."
However, the 24-year-old beauty will not take a break from acting completely.
