Actor Al Pacino will play artist Salvador Dali in "Dali & I: The Surreal Story," and reunite with Andrew Niccol who is directing. Producers Room 9 Entertainment plan for a New York and Spain shoot in June, according to Variety.

Niccol originally acquired the project as a spec script written by John Salvati, based on Lauryssens' autobiographical book "Dali and I." Niccol is rewriting the script.

The film will be produced by Room 9 partners David O. Sacks, Daniel Brunt and Michael R. Newman, who also produced the hit satirical film, "Thank You for Smoking," reports Variety.
"Dali" will focus on the second half of Dali's life.
