Herr Wim Wenders- director of Kartoshka, the Movie.
Well, fans, I've sent the almost finished script to Mr Wim Wenders. I don't know who's going to be playing me- most of the obvious choices are sadly no longer with us (Stirling Hayden, Eddie Constantine, Ralph Meeker), but I understand that Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson and Daniel Craig are possibilities.
The obvious choice for Mrs K is Renata Litvinova, but she may need to shed a few kilograms.
Mattinho is hoping that Owen Wilson will play him.
Basically a semi- documentary set against the backdrop of the Cold War, the story tells how an ordinary boy from a deprived background develops an obsession with football and Bossa Nova music that takes him on an odyssey... well, I don't want to give too much away, but he ends up living in a tiny cluttered apartment writing a blog and pitching his ideas for a chat show, guided by the ghost of Nilton Santos*.
Just for fun we've developed a potential soundtrack. There's not too much Bossa Nova. It's a bit light on bitrate.
