American actor Willem Dafoe will pay painter Vincent van Gogh in Julian Schnabel’s upcoming biopic. The film entitled “At Eternity’s Gate” will focus on Van Gogh’s time in Arles and Auvers-sur-Oise, in France. The film takes its title from an oil painting by Van Gogh in 1890, finished just months before his death and will explore the sacrifices the painter made to produce his masterpieces.
Based on a screenplay by Schnabel and Jean-Claude Carriere, the film will be shot on location.
Speaking about the production Schnabel said: “This is a film about painting and a painter and their relationship to infinity.

“It is told by a painter. It contains what I felt were essential moments in his life, this is not the official history — it’s my version. One that I hope could make you closer to him.”
The cast of the film also includes actors such as Kirk Douglas, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tony Curran and Tim Roth who have all played the famous artist.
