The film is based on the Stan Lauryssen book 'Dali and I' and explored the latter years of the artist's life.

Shooting begins in New York and Spain in June.

I can't think of a movie more entertaining than one of an artist that I don't care about.

Variety reports that 'Dali & I' will be directed by Andrew Niccol, who previously worked with Pacino on the film 'S1m0ne'.

In following this trend, the film will be released as "D@1i & I".
