Fall into pieces…
Never happy sitting still, David Bowie filmed his part as a hard-nosed British CEO of a dotcom company on location in New York earlier this week, during the madness of The High Line Festival.
It’s a suit and tie role for David, and in it he apparently plays a bit of a hard man who eats newcomers for breakfast.
Starring Josh Hartnett and Naomie Harris, August is a film about two brothers fighting to keep their dotcom company afloat in August of 2001, a month before the 9/11 attacks, and it is directed by Austin Chick (XX/XY).
The film also stars Rip Torn, an actor who played his part in the downfall of another business entrepreneur, Thomas Jerome Newton, in a film made over thirty years ago.
August isn’t due a theatrical release until 2009, but meantime you can check out
