Picasso at the Lapin Agile (2004)
Directed By: Fred Schepisi
Cast: Kevin Kline, Juliette Binoche, Steve Martin, Ryan Phillippe
    Steve Martin wrote the play back in 1993.  Along with director Fred Schepisi, Martin has adapted the screen version.  The plot centers on an imagined meeting in 1904 between Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein.
     Rave reviews greeted the play when it was performed years ago.  The two leads argue over ideas and conclusions in this clever scenario about the clash between science and art.
     Ryan will play a young Picasso.
     Latest word from Steve Martin suggests that filming has been pushed back with no start date set as of yet.
