The Muse

Gwyneth Paltrow could be getting ready for a different kind of close-up than she’s used to.

In a way.

The Oscar winner reportedly is set to play Pablo Picasso’s muse and lover, Dora Maar, in a new movie called 33 Días. The title of the project refers to how long it took the master to create his famous “Guernica” painting, which Maar, a French photographer, chronicled.

Antonio Banderas, who is poised to portray the Spanish master, supposedly really wants G.P. to be in the movie with him, so we’ll see if she shows up on set late this summer when the movie goes into production in Europe.

I think it’d be too cool if Paltrow did the movie in Spanish. After all, she has a handle on the language. Dale, dale!
