Julien Temple to direct art heist film Fake!

MUMBAI: Julien Temple better known for her direction in The Great Rock‘n‘Roll Swindle has aligned with Mike Downey and Sam Taylor‘s production house Film & Music Entertainment and will direct the company‘s $15 million art heist film Fake!

Avers Temple, “Fake! is a story of dramatic intrigue and excitement from the complex emotional triangle between the three main protagonists.There‘s an element of To Catch A Thief about what they do. 

“As becomes clear in his conversations with Welles, one of the most amazing illusions Elmyr maintained during all the years of his career as an art forger was that he was not a criminal and what he was doing was not a crime. He knew of course it was against the law but so was jaywalking or smoking a joint. What he did, unlike governments and politicians, didn‘t harm anyone else.”
