DS has just finished shooting a new film version of "The Tempest,"
being directed by Julie Taymor, who did a film of "Titus Andronicus"
back in the 90's as well as the recent "Across the Universe."

IMDB doesn't list the character that DS plays - it's not Prospero.
In this film version, Prospero has a gender change to Prospera, and
is played by the superb Helen Mirren. Not sure how well this will
work, but it should be interesting.

Interesting, motley cast from the UK and US: Chris Cooper (who plays
the villanous Antonio, Prospera's brother), Alan Cumming, Alfred
Molina and Russell Brand as the two comic characters, & Djimon
Hounsou as Caliban.

My guess is that DS plays Gonzalo, one of the people shipwrecked on
Properos(as) island. He is the one genuinely good character in the
play.

Next DS joins a new production of Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" in
NYC at the Roudabout Theater as the character Lucky. The two leads
are Nathan Lane and Bill Irwin. John Goodman is also in the cast.
Pity DS isn't one of the leads, IMO. Performances start on April
10th, 2009 and the official opening night is April 30th. It's being
called a limited engagement, but there's no end date listed.
