Have you ever wanted to see Liev Schreiber and Vanessa Paradis play Hasidic Jews? Well, it seems like John Turturro's upcoming movie has all that and more! Schreiber and Paradis were spotted filming Fading Gigolo with Woody Allen in Brooklyn yesterday. Check out Schreiber's costume, which says "Williamsburg Shomrim"!
The movie is about, as Deadline explains, "a book store owner (Allen) with a money-making scheme who convinces his friend (Turturro) that a fortune can be made by becoming a professional gigolo." So basically Allen is playing a pimp.
The movie also stars Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara.
