French actress Julie Delpy, best known to American audiences for her work in such films as “Before Sunrise,” “Europa Europa” and “Broken Flowers,” will direct a biopic about Joe Strummer, the late singer for the seminal band the Clash, according to Variety.
The film will be called “The Right Profile” and focuses on Strummer’s “disappearance” from the public spotlight after 1982. Strummer, who was born John Graham Mellor and died in 2002 at age 50, actually relocated to France in ’82, where he participated in the Paris Marathon, among other things. Subsequently, Delpy and Strummer worked with director Jim Jarmusch on different projects.
BTW, “The Right Profile” is named after a song on “London Calling,” the classic Clash album. The song was about troubled actor Montgomery Clift.
