- Yes, I'm writing a screenplay of a film I'm hoping to get made with myself in it.

British actor Rupert Everett decided to write and act in a biographical film about the life of Oscar Wilde.

Rupert, who was a bestselling author with his memoirs, thinks that he can do a better job than David Hare in 1998.

- Yes, I'm writing a screenplay of a film I'm hoping to get made with myself in it, about Oscar Wilde, after the trial, his life in exile – Contactmusic reports his words.

“It's provisionally titled Sebastian Melmoth, after one of the aliases Wilde adopted after his downfall”.

The actor had a lot to day about Hare and the director Richard Eyre, with whom he created a story based on the life of Oscar Wilde.

“…Those people should never ever have thought about attacking the Wilde story, because they have no sympathy, or sensitivity or sensibility...

They're rigorously straight, the two of them

They cast Liam Neeson as Wilde - why? Because he's big and Irish” – says Everett.
