Freida Pinto completes shooting of 'Miral' in Israel | BAFTA nominated Freida Pinto, after spending four months
in Israel, has finished the shooting of 'Miral', which will be released later this year, according to reports. Pinto, 25, plays Miral, a girl raised in a Jerusalem
orphanage in 1950s, with story spanning several decades. Shot in Jerusalem and
Tel Aviv in Israel, other cast of this poignant historical drama film includes
Oscar nominated Willem Dafoe (Shadow of the Vampire), Alexander Siddig (The Boundary),
and Hiam Abbass (The Syrian Bride). Directed by Oscar nominated Julian Schnabel
(Before Night Falls), written by Rula Jebreal, produced by Oscar nominated Jon
Kilik (Babel), cinematography by BAFTA nominated Eric Gautier (Clean), music by
Olivier Daviaud (L'homme de la lune), and edited by Oscar nominated Juliette Welfling
(Le scaphandre et le papillon), it chronicles efforts to establish a Jerusalem
orphanage after the creation of Israel in 1948. Indo-American statesman Rajan
Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, said that it showed that India's rich cinematic
talent was in high demand not only in Hollywood but also in various other filmmaking
centers of the world. Dance and drama tradition went back to ancient times in
India and sage Bharata codified the rules in his treatise Natya-sastra, Zed, who
is chairperson of Indo-American Leadership Confederation, added. Freida Pinto
is said to have also completed her shooting for romance film "You Will Meet a
Tall Dark Stranger" (Woody Allen), which was filmed in United Kingdom and is about
a family, love lives of its members and how they try to solve their issues. She
reportedly unsuccessfully auditioned for the role of Bond girl Camille in "Quantum
of Solace" (Marc Forster). |
