If true, it looks like he's going to go straight from Children of Huang Shi to Bronte to Love and Virtue and then the second series of The Tudors with about a half hour break in between!

Speculation: LOVE AND VIRTUE |
Lead | ||

No idea how accurate this is so treat it as rumour. Jonny is apparently going to star in Love and Virtue with Peter O'Toole and John Malkovich. It's based on the epic poem The Song of Roland, set in the court of Charlemagne. It was due to start 21 March in Belgium and Luxemburg - unless anything has changed since that news from November.

Where did you see this? I've never heard of this anywhere. I checked out the imdb page and it looks like the world has been cast in this film, haha.

Since the cast is so big, maybe the role is very small?
I haven't heard anything about it until now. Could be interesting as long as it's not a huge role. At least Bronte isn't the main lead. I'm sure he's going to need/want a break after filming Children. And before a possible second series of The Tudors (that's not official but hopefully will happen as long as the ratings are good). pop-trash.com -- jrmfansite.org -- ewanspotting.com -- brilliance.nu "I'd rather have 10 minutes of an extraordinary life than 100 years of a happy, boring one." - Jonathan Rhys Meyers |

I agree, tis important for him to have some downtime, particularly seeing as he has been ill.
Of course the more jonny the better, also applies. ![]() Suckerlove ~ RougeVelvet Videos ~ Moulin Goldmine ~ LJ ~ Spectacular MB LastFM ~ JRMfansite MB ~ Velvet Goldmine LJ ~ Mystic Bliss the.call.to.arms.was.never.true i'm.medicated, how.are.you? |

Maybe this will happen - or not. He's due to play the 'magnetic and challenging' role of Rinaldo. The director refers to Rinaldo as troubled, so nothing new there!

I've just read on IMDB that someone sent in a letter to the production and was told that he will be in this film and it will begin in late August. Though when I went to the actual board for the movie, someone said it films at the end of the year. Who knows but if he does this movie, he has the official title of workaholic.

Hi!
Well, i adore to see Jonny starring roles in historic environments, with those costumes "of epoche" and all that charm.... Actually, i liked him very much in Vanity Fair, The Tudors of course.. OPS! I had got the idea that Peter OToole had died.... Hopefully we have Jonny in this film you says,then. Fabiana |

No idea how accurate this is but the Love and Virtue website has JRM listed as joining the cast.

Cheers.
One would hope if it's the official website that it is accurate. It may not be up to date though, so things could have changed. ![]() Suckerlove ~ RougeVelvet Videos ~ Moulin Goldmine ~ LJ ~ Spectacular MB LastFM ~ JRMfansite MB ~ Velvet Goldmine LJ ~ Mystic Bliss the.call.to.arms.was.never.true i'm.medicated, how.are.you? |

Yah, I take it with a grain of salt. It could be another Last Unicorn situation. Guess we just have to wait and see - it's not been mentioned in any of the recent articles so far.

On IMDB it is listed again among Jonny' films, as "announced" - "rumored" . Status updated 30 august 2009. The release date is a generic "2010" Same director and same cast, it seems. But also Mary Mother of Christ is still there........ |

This is interesting but I really question it. I spent a bit of time googling about and haven't seen anything fresh on it for over a year. All the links to
the various named producers are untouched. If it's for real, I hope he does a bit more contemporary stuff before going back to the period pieces.

Just looked at Jonny's IMDb page. It now says Love and Virtue is 'in production (rumored)'.

If this production database is accurate there is a lot of detailed information about L&V. Sounds like it was unveiled -- as a production preparing to get
started -- at Toronto Film Festival with filming to start in April. Jonathan's role is obviously perfect for him -- dark, tortured, romantic, evil with a
touch of good. And this director is well respected although I don't think he's ever done an English language film. I question that they would be able
to hold all the same cast for so long and in this economy I wouldn't hold my breath that an epic film will go off as planned seven months from now but
it's interesting news nevertheless.
