Here are a couple photos of Vincent with cast members from his latest film project.

I found a little more history on SHANTARAM. Russell Crowe was the first to express interest but when it went into film development in 2004, it had Johnny Depp attached as the star. Warner Bros. paid $2 million for the rights to the story, and the studio had Australian filmmaker Peter Weir lined up to direct. But by 2006, Weir was off the project because 'his interpretation of it differed greatly from that of the studio and producers." Johnny Depp tried again in 2013. After losing its director, the 'Shantaram' film project stalled until 2013, when Depp brought it back to life. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, at that time Depp was attached as both star and producer, and he was courting Joel Edgerton to direct. But ultimately, nothing came of it. By 2015, Warner’s rights to the project had expired. This left the project open for someone else to scoop up. And in January 2018, US production company Anonymous Content acquired the rights. That’s the version currently in production  with Anonymous and Paramount making it into a series for Apple TV.

Production for the TV series began in October 2019. The plan was to shoot 10 episodes split between Victoria in Australia and India. By mid-December of that year, two episodes had been shot. But in February 2020, Paramount Television halted filming and put the show on hiatus. It wasn’t because of the pandemic, though. Instead, they put things on hold because showrunner Eric Warren Singer was behind on writing the necessary episodes. Singer was forced out, and then the pandemic hit. Filming finally started up again in May 2021 and will continue until the end of the year. The cast and crew were filming in Australia, and then production was moved to Thailand. The cast is headed by British actor Charlie Hunnam, Presently, Steven Lightfoot is the showrunner, writer, and executive producer. AppleTV has not yet announced a premiere date.

In an April 2020 interview regarding the 3rd edition of the Rencontres du 7e Art, which ultimately had to be canceled due to the pandemic, Vincent was asked about the festival's poster, which paid homage to Marlon Brando.

"The urge to pay him homage came quickly, naturally, as our festival was created to take advantage of the immense careers of those who gravitate to the world of cinema. I also read the book entitled 'The Last Days of Marlon Brando", signed by Samuel Blumenfeld, who will also be giving a lecture at the Rencontres du 7e Art. We will also be showing the film 'On The Waterfront' and the documentary 'Listen to me Marlon', where Brando himself narrates the episodes of his life, as he recorded tapes like others keep a diary."

"Brando has been able to shake up the codes with a completely new form of animality in the way a role is played. So from the start of his career he was revered, everyone referred to him as a genius. He certainly ruined several generations of actors, in the sense that everyone wanted to be Brando. A myth was born. This glory put him in a position that made him lose the meaning of his life, yet one made up of important social struggles - he fought for blacks, condemned the genocide of Native Americans. This brilliant, learned and humanistic man has become a sort of paranoid ogre who has withdrawn into his home, with real military artillery hidden under his bed. A house in which he saw his son kill his daughter's companion. One expression says that glory is the shining mourning of happiness, his life illustrates this perfectly. This fallen angel, overweight and rejected by Hollywood at the end of his life, voluntarily destroyed this iconic image by turning in ridiculous films, which had for only merit to be at the top of the pile of the scenarios which one sent him. It’s sad to see that fame and Hollywood have devoured such a magnificent being from within!"

"I retain the image of a genius, which marked me deeply when I first started seeing his films, around the age of 15. The movie 'Via Zapata' introduced me to director Elia Kazan, Actors Studio. By rebounding it changed my life, because that's when I decided to become an actor... For me, his masterpieces are 'A Streetcar Named Desire' in which, for the first time, carnal impulses are dramatized by sulphurous inflamed paces between exposed virility and passionate neurosis, 'Viva Zapata', a fine example of a man who has power and shares it exclusively with others, and 'On The Waterfront', a powerful and overwhelming love story, featured in our poster. We could do all the Meetings of the 7th Art on him, as his filmography is impressive, strange and iconic."
