Filmmaker Xavier Dolan is also an actor and will be appearing in the screen adaptation of the successful play “The Elephant Song,” which will be filmed in Montreal.
According to a Global News article, the flick, which has a budget of around $7 million, is a drama that follows a psychiatrist who is investigating the disappearance of his colleague who questions a disturbed patient, played by Dolan, and finds himself caught in a complex mind game. Other stars in the movie include Bruce Greenwood (“Star Trek”), Carrie-Anne Moss (“The Matrix”), and Catherine Keener (“Enough Said”).
Dolan has already enjoyed many accolades even though he is only 24 years old – the Montreal native has a laundry list of projects that he has worked on, from directing to acting to doing voicework. He has won a number of prizes and awards at the annual Cannes Film Festival as well as two Genies.
Production on “The Elephant Song” is expected to begin shortly.
