dreamlogic.net's MUSING . Fisher Price Man in new Greenaway moviePeter Greenaway is one of my favorite all-time film directors and I’m extreeeemely excited about his latest film (in post production as we speak, er type), Nightwatching.

Nightwatching is a story about master painter Rembrandt and the pivotal point in his life when he becomes entangled in a political conspiracy after reluctantly taking on a commission to paint the Amsterdam Musketeer Militia. This portrait would later be named “The Nightwatch”. While attempting to reveal a murderous scheme and political kickbacks to instill power dishonestly to local merchants, Rembrandt loses his wife, his fame, his fortune.

This will be an interesting departure from Greenaway’s previous work — Nightwatching sounds almost like a biography. Gorgeous cinematography is guaranteed though. What’s equally intriguing is Rembrandt is being portrayed by Martin Freeman (pictured above left), the “Fisher Price Man”/Tim Canterbury from UK’s The Office, the “hero” in Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy and most recently in Hot Fuzz, The All Together, Dedication (with Mandy Moore and Amy Sedaris) and The Good Night (with Penelope Cruz and Gwyneth Paltrow).
