Seperate Lies

The ubiquitous Julian Fellowes now adds ‘Director’ to his list of accomplishments in the film world. And yes, this is the same fellow (sorry, I couldn’t help it) who has been acting for a quarter century (mostly as distinguished characters on British TV and a few James Bond pictures) won the Oscar for writing ‘Gosford Park’ in 2001 (where he also picked up an Associate Producer credit) and most recently wrote ‘Vanity Fair.’

He writes and directs his new film ‘Separate Lies,’ starring Tom Wilkinson who has an amazing range of film credits from ‘Shakespeare in Love’ to the ‘Full Monty’ to ‘Girl with the Pearl Earring’ to the bad guy in ‘Batman Begins.’ I love actors like him because he allows himself to play all kinds of roles. Also starring is Emily Watson (Gosford Park) and Rupert Everett (Stage Beauty). Everett gets huge points for starring opposite Catherine Deneuve in the French mini series of Dangerous Liaisons. Lucky devil.

‘Separate Lies’ opens at the Grand Friday Oct. 28th.
