Acclaimed Czech director Milos Forman is to direct a film about Spanish
grand master Francisco de Goya starring Javier Bardem and Natalie
Portman, focusing on one of Spain's most bloody chapters, the
Inquisition, the Reuters agency wrote on Wednesday. Called "Goya's
Ghosts" the film tells the story of the last years of the Spanish
Inquisition, when the Catholic Church tortured and executed suspected
Jews, as told by the painter, played by Stellan Skarsgard. The film is
Forman's first directing project since 1999's "Man on the Moon" and
filming is due to start in September.
