Schnabel casts Pinto in ‘Miral’
March 25, 2009
Mumbai-born actress Freida Pinto has been cast in Julian Schnabel’s upcoming film adaptation of Rula Jebreal’s book Miral.
Pinto earned rave reviews for her work in the international hit Slumdog Millionaire.
She has since been cast in Woody Allen’s as-yet-untitled next movie, which is to be filmed this summer in London.
Schnabel’s directing credits include Basquiat,
Before Night Falls
and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
The New York Post said Schnabel is taking Pinto to Israel next month to start shooting Miral,
which he co-wrote with Jebreal.
