‘The Almond and the Seahorse’ Filmmaker Celyn Jones to Direct ‘Madfabulous’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Welsh actor, writer and director Celyn Jones has set 'Madfabulous' as his next directorial venture.
The British indie is based on the true story of Henry Cyril Paget, fifth Marquess of Anglesey, who was once one of the richest men in Britain but died penniless and forgotten at the age of 29 in France. “It’s full of pathos and humanity, it’s very much a character who wants to get the attention of his family who don’t want him and he keeps upping the ante with his spending, his flamboyance and his dancing,” Jones told Variety about the 1890s-set film. Jones describes Paget as “David Bowie and Marc Bolan rolled into one” and likens the story to “The Favourite,” “Amadeus,” “Marie Antoinette” and “Brewster’s Millions.”
