Rendering 11

The article published on the website nytimes.com is headlined The Swashbuckler and the Teenager.The article carries a lot of comments on Kevin Kline, who will portray Errol Flynn in “The Last of Robin Hood.”
In addition the author of the article mentions that his star may have faded since his heyday in the 1930s and ’40s, but the dashing Flynn is regarded even now as one of the most beautiful men to ever work in Hollywood, and one of its more maligned: A 1980 biography claimed that the Tasmanian-born leading man had been a spy for the Nazis when in fact he’d been a supporter of the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War and was later a drinking buddy of Fidel Castro’s; the author later admitted fudging the evidence, but the damage was already done to an actor who never needed help damaging himself.
In this connection it’s worthwhile mentioning that  “The Last of Robin Hood” will star Kevin Kline as Flynn; Dakota Fanning as the teenager, Beverly Aadland; and Susan Sarandon as Florence Aadland, the stage mother who set them up — and who, say the film’s directors, Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer (“Quinceañara”), “believed that everything in her life was predestined.”
Speaking of this situation it is also interesting to note that “The Last of Robin Hood,” aiming for a fall festival premiere, is a highly unusual tale, even for Hollywood, which has turned Flynn into a somewhat tamer-than-real-life character in projects like the 1985 television biopic “My Wicked, Wicked Ways” and the 1982 comedy “My Favorite Year” with Peter O’Toole as the Flynn-inspired reprobate Alan Swann (“I’m not an actor. I’m a movie star!”). Guy Pearce (in “Flynn,” 1993) and Jude Law (in “The Aviator,” 2004) have also tried their hand at Flynn. But no account has addressed Flynn’s appetite for underage women.
The author concludes the article by Ms. Koffler's quote :
“There’s also a way to see it as really a love story,” she said. “Why couldn’t a 50-year-old man be in love with a girl of Beverly’s age?”
As for me I think that it's exciting when somebody tries to make something unusual  and unique. In most cases  stars act according to some cliche and they roles are typical ; every star has his or her own role specialization making all films similar to each other.

    SLIPS:

    1) It will be good if you make this address - nytimes.com as a working link
    2) There shouldn't be any quotations in renderings
