Film Casting: MOTHER’S DAY, UNFORGETTABLE, Kristen Stewart in CHANEL Film

Behind the Curtain of the Night

Brendan Fraser [will be] playing a key role and Marcia Cross [will be] playing a character called ‘The Boss’ which is really God. Behind the Curtain of the Night, written/directed by Dalibor Stach, follows a boy who drowns when he is six years-old and has a near-death experience and then it happens again when he is 18 years old. In the five minutes that he is declared dead the second time, he sees his past lives from before he was born, and his future lives up until the year 3,012. When he comes out of it, he decides to write a book which becomes a best-seller in the Czech Republic … all of which actually happened to Stach.

The story is about reincarnation and also what happens after you die. Because of the reincarnation theme, Fraser plays multiple characters in the past as he finds himself in World War II through the present and future.

It also stars Dawn Oliveri (House of Lies), Massimo Dobrovic (stars in the Italian version of CSI: Rome), Czech actor Bolek Polivka (portrays the male side of ‘The Boss’), and finally Czech actress Petra Buckova (mysteriously appears throughout the main character’s life and offers guidance).

Jackie Kennedy, ever gracious, had to deal with quite a lot from LBJ, starting on the day her husband was murdered. In fact, LBJ was a hard man to like, according to those who knew him.

Jackie was the epitome of grace and revered by the nation for her show of strength after her husband’s death. Little did anyone know at the time, but she was also on sedatives during the funeral just to get through the elaborate ceremony.
