Above: Gerard Butler Coriolanus Film Production set 2010.

Film production for Coriolanus the movie, has finished in Serbia.

We have added new film production pictures of Gerard Butler on the film set to our Gerard Butler Picture Gallery .

Gerard Butler is covered in fake tattoos in this role, including a religious figure on his right bicep, and the words Volsci on his left bicep.

The presence of tattoo markings on Gerard Butler's body is of symbolic significance in this movie. The religious image on his left bicept is a powerful reminder, of Tullus's life-time commitment to his religion and faith.

The word 'Volsci' on his right bicept, defines Tullus's identity.  'Volsci' refers to people of ancient Italy whose territory was conquered by the Romans in the fourth century B.C.

We have also acquired two concept art frames from the movie Coriolanus. The concept art provides us with a real taste of the fighting and rioting scenes expected in the movie.

The cast and crew for Coriolanus include the following:

• Ralph Fiennes – Caius Martius ‘Coriolanus’
• Gerard Butler – Tullus Aufidius
• Vanessa Redgrave – Volumnia (Coriolanus mother)
• John Logan – Screenwriter (Most notable work include: Gladiator, The Aviator, The Last Samurai, Star Trek: Nemesis, Sweeney Todd, and Any Given Sunday)
• Barry Ackroyd – DoP (Notable work: The Hurt Locker)

In an interview, Ralph Fiennes, revealed why Gerard Butler was chosen for the role of Tullus Aufidius:

“The male rivalry is integral to Coriolanus...and Gerard is perfectly able to deliver that menacing presence.”

This modern day adaptation of Coriolanus is expected to attract a broad audience including Gerard Butler fans, fans of Shakespeare, and movie goers that have a thirst for modern war movies with action packed military scenes. 

We have a Gerard Butler interview confirming the cast for Coriolanus, and two behind-the-scenes video clips for Coriolanus the movie below.

Coriolanus the movie  is scheduled for release next year.

Video: Gerard Butler interview on Coriolanus the movie

Summary: Gerard Butler confirms the cast for Coriolanus the movie. He mentions Coriolanus (played by Ralph Fiennes) hates Tullus Aufidius's guts (played by Gerard Butler). The hatred is evident in the way Coriolanus addresses Tullus, because Coriolanus always uses Tullus's full name whenever his name is mentioned. Gerard Butler also mentioned that he enjoys accepting a broad range of roles just to keep things fresh, and he enjoys a challenge.
