A couple days ago Eric dropped the news that Viggo Mortensen and Philip Seymour Hoffman were rumored to star in the historic cannibal island movie VANIKORO.
Well Viggo-Works is reporting that Mortensen’s involvement is just a rumor and isn’t true at all.
Apparently this comes from Mortensen’s agent, so take it for what it’s worth. It was kind of surprising hearing a couple big names like Mortensen and Hoffman sign up for a Gens’ cannibalistic flick. But I guess there’s still a chance for the Hoffman bit to be true.
Either way this flick sounds like it’s going to be all kinds of fun. The synopsis reads: The French explorer La Perouse, was wrecked on Vanikoro in 1788. The ship Boussole was destroyed on a reef along with most of the crew. The second ship Astrolabe was also wrecked, but survivors salvaged enough to build a small ship and sailed away. Two survivors remained on the island into the early 1800’s.
We’ll keep you updated on any news for VANIKORO.
