Short description

In 1973, a young gallery assistant goes on a wild adventure behind the scenes as he helps aging genius Salvador Dali prepare for a big show in New York.

What's left behind the scenes

Initially, Ezra Miller was supposed to play James Linton, but he was ultimately given the role of Salvador Dalí in his youth, and Christopher Briney was cast as Linton.
When the future project was first announced, Leslie Manville was supposed to play Gala on screen. Ultimately, Barbara Sukowa played this character.
In one of the scenes, Gala tells James that Walt Disney (as she put it, "that man with the silly mouse") and Dalí intend to make a film. She was referring to the film "Destino," which Dalí and Disney began working on in 1945, but was only released in 2003, 14 years after Dalí's death. After the release of "Fantasia 2000" in 1999, Roy E. Disney, Walt Disney's nephew, discovered the unfinished film and completed it.
