Dave Bautista’s Ernest Hemingway Biopic Would Be “Dark and Mysterious”
Ernest Hemingway is often considered to be one of the greatest American novelists of all-time. His novels, including The Old Man and the Sea, A Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls, are studied in schools and universities across the world. Bautista didn’t discuss his love for Hemingway’s work. Instead, he is fascinated by Ernest Hemingway’s elder years. “Later in his life, he was just dark, and it was mysterious, it was intriguing,” he said, continuing:
“I thought, ‘Man, this is a character. I could really just dive into this.’ And this would be the type of role that would get me in those conversations where they would really see me as a great actor. I still have that chip on my shoulder, wanting to prove that. And I haven’t been able to find that particular role or that particular character where I can prove that.”
Dave Bautista’s dream Ernest Hemingway biopic hasn’t been officially picked up by any studio. Before that dream comes true, Dave Bautista is still shifting between genres. He currently stars in Paul W.S. Anderson’s fantasy/western, In the Lost Lands, based on the novel by George R.R. Martin.
