DateThursday, November 6, 2008 at 3:58PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Antonio Banderas is in talks to star as artist Salvador Dali in Simon West’s upcoming biopic “Dali.”

According to Variety, the film focuses on how Dali captured the world with sex and surrealism, eventually getting caught up in scandals and misfortunes.

The trade also says the film will use a mixture of music and CGI to recreate the painter’s vision on the big screen.

Apparently, West’s film is not the only Dali project currently in development. Andrew Niccol is working on “Dali & I” with Al Pacino interested to star, while Paul Morrison recently completed “Little Ashes,” a film about Dali’s young life.

West most recently directed the remake of “When a Stranger Calls.” His credits also include “Con Air” and “Lara Crift: Tomb Raider.”

As for Banderas, he recently completed “Thick as Thieves” for director Mimi Leder. He’ll also be voicing Puss in Boots in the upcoming “Shrek Goes Fourth.”
