Amazon Studios continues to attract big names for its pilots.
Feature actor Gael García Bernal (Y Tu Mamá También, Amores Perros, Babel) has been tapped for the streaming service’s comedy pilot Mozart In The Jungle, written by Roman Coppola, Jason Schwartzman and Alex Timbers, Deadline reveals.
Based on the memoir by Blair Tindal, the project is all about sex, drugs and classical music and shows that what happens behind the curtains at the symphony can be just as captivating as what happens onstage.
Mexico-born Garcia Bernal, will play Gustavo, an enfant terrible who’s utterly devoted to his art as a conductor — but also to his image.
