HBO TV movies features Clive Owen as Ernest Hemmingway

Via Directsattv.com - One of the most highly anticipated HBO TV movies of the near future has just been given the go ahead to begin filming by the start of next year. Hemingway and Gellhorn, with Clive Owen and an intrepid Nicole Kidman as the title characters, has been in pre-production stages for 6 years.

The film, prospectively among the all time great HBO TV movies, will feature the whirlwind romance between world famous American expatriate writer Ernest Hemingway, and the fiery, competitive Martha Gellhorn—now considered one of the greatest war correspondents of her time. The 2 met in a bar in Key West, fell in love and eventually married, traveling the world in adventure after adventure—continually competing and, in turn, inspiring each other as writers and literary artists. They enraptured each other with courage and prose, dodging bullets and tank fire as they went from war to war—her as a leading journalistic authority of the 20th century, and him as her indefatigable lover and devotee. Although their romance was stormy, passionate, and some might say short lived, it stands out in history as being one of the most staggering unions of 2 great minds ever to benefit the planet through the creation of some of the most brilliant, stirring literature of their century.

Clive Owen has previously starred in Closer, for which he received an Oscar nomination, as well as more recently Duplicity, Elizabeth, and Children of Men—all world class blockbusters. Nicole Kidman, accustomed to playing early literary icons, has been featured in The Hours, Portrait of a Lady, and Moulin Rouge, among other classic movies.

Hemingway and Gellhorn is being produced for HBO TV movies by Tony nominated and Emmy winning actor and star, James Gandolfini, previously seen in HBO’s best selling TV show The Sopranos. This will be the first of his HBO TV movies to be produced.

Besides being a classic adventure for the whole family and a compelling portrayal of some of literature’s most amazing artists, this giant among HBO TV movies is sure to be a feast of beauty and poetry. The interaction between these 2 legendary word sculptors and the delicious way in which each one’s style and inspirations mingled and lifted the other’s is guaranteed to make for a rare treat in film history.

Since neither of the title actors are American, and both title characters were famous Americans, this film is bound to require serious acting ability on the parts of both Owen and Kidman. They have both proven in the past to be amazing on screen, and both Hemingway’s and Gellhorn’s fearlessness, as well as their strong, gripping personalities are sure to give these veteran actors a spellbinding role to work with. Don’t miss this incredible film, due to be released on HBO sometime next year.
