Zeta-Jones, Douglas to film in India
Thu Sep 13, 9:33 PM ET
MUMBAI, India - Catherine Zeta-Jones and her husband, Michael
Douglas, are planning to shoot a movie in India. "I'm looking
forward to going to India," the actress was quoted as saying by The
Times of India on Thursday. "Michael and I are developing a script
that will be set up in India. We will take our kids and all of us
will come there, set up camp in India and shoot a film."
Zeta-Jones didn't give details about the movie.
Douglas visited Mumbai two years ago and announced plans to
co-produce and star in "Racing the Monsoon," an action-adventure
about a diamond heist aboard an Indian train.
Zeta-Jones, Douglas and their two young children live much of the
year on the island of Bermuda, the 37-year-old actress said.
"The logistics are different now, I can't just take off anywhere
because my kids go to school in Bermuda," she said. "If I work,
Michael doesn't work and vice versa, that's our pact."
Zeta-Jones won a supporting actress Oscar in 2003 for her role in
the musical "Chicago." Douglas, 62, has won two Oscars — as an actor
for the 1987 film "Wall Street" and as a producer for 1975's "One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Twenty years after
Michael Douglas appeared in "Wall Street," he is conducting
interviews for his latest film in the kind of apartment Gordon Gekko
might be living in if he were, like Douglas himself, flush with cash
and in his early 60s.
It's a ninth-floor aerie on Central Park West, one of three homes
the actor owns - the others are in Quebec and Bermuda - and it's a
monument to easy living and good taste. Shelves are lined with
books, tables are filled with pictures of Douglas and his dad,
Douglas and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, the couple with their two
kids, even Douglas with international figures like Nelson Mandela
and Kofi Annan (Douglas has long been involved with United Nations
programs promoting nuclear disarmament and human rights). Douglas'
two Oscars - for acting (as Gekko) in "Wall Street" and producing
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" - are unobtrusively tucked away in
a side cabinet.
But the 63-year-old actor is not here to discuss past glories. He's
publicizing a small indie film called "King of California," opening
Sept. 14, in which he plays a schizophrenic convinced there's a
Spanish treasure buried beneath the concrete floor of a nearby
Costco. It's a charming little picture, and features one of Douglas'
best, most endearing performances. And it's a long
way from the iconic, infamous, heart-of-steel "Wall Street" tycoon
of 1987.
"It's fun playing crazies," Douglas says with a smile on his face
and a glint in his eye. "The only thing you have to look out for is
going too far over the top. Mania can get irritating if you don't
find ways to mix it up." |
