Malkovich to play Kubrick impersonator

John Malkovich is to star in the true story of a man who tricked his way into London’s high life by pretending to be the reclusive director Stanley Kubrick.

The comedy Colour Me Kubrick has been written by the late filmmaker’s longtime personal assistant Anthony Frewin and is based on events which occurred during the shooting of Eyes Wide Shut with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, reports the Hollywood Reporter.
