La Septième Obsession (French magazine) interviewed Olivier Assayas for their January issue and asked him about his upcoming film with Robert Pattinson and Sylvester Stallone “Idol’s Eye”.  Loving that this is another project that is hopefully back on track. 

Facebook Google Translation:

 “La Septième Obsession N° 8: Interview With Olivier Assayas + exclusive documents on the preparation of his next film “Idol”s eye” with Sylvester Stallone and Robert Pattinson.
” the past must constantly be rebuilt. The Directors of the new wave have just reinvented, they asked him: What’s that in the past we serve, can we be useful? It is the role of all generations, they must re-explore the report in the past, to understand what we will be useful in the present.” Olivier Assayas, NO 8 (In Kiosks And Libraries).

Here’s the extract below:

Will all these themes related to the ‘invisible’ be in the movie IDOL’S EYE that you are working on and that you are going to shoot in 2017?
Not necessarily, this is the movie that I wanted to make two years ago, it is more like the movie CARLOS; a film about a diverse news item on which I did extremely precise research to reconstruct all the details. It will be my first American movie. For the script, I needed to feel that I had done a precise job. It’s not my culture, nor my country or my history. I was interested in making an almost documentary-like reconstruction of this diverse news item. The story takes place in Chicago in the late 1970s. 
Sylvester Stallone will play in the movie. Why him specifically? 
I have always been a fan of Stallone, since ROCKY (1976), but also of the screenwriter and director that he is. He is always very precise with real authenticity. I’m in need of someone powerful and disturbing to represent Tony Accardo, the head of the Chicago mafia, a very important but little known historical figure. What is so powerful about Stallone is that he is not from middle-class, but working class (blue collar) background.. He has something popular. When you want to talk about the mafia, few actors of his stature could bring such dimension. I get along well with him, I find him very human. At the moment we only met twice. We shared simple things. It’s essential to talk about cinema and discover one another. Stallone is now more a director than an actor. So we share the same difficulties but of course on different levels.
