Cinematic Auction beginning online on Jan. 17.

Stuart Miller Four years ago, Gabriel Leone appeared in a small Brazilian movie called “Piedade” playing a character named Marlon Brando; he was not playing the American actor but does bear a resemblance to a young Brando. So it is only fitting that when the Rio de Janeiro native made his English-language debut, in Michael Mann’s “Ferrari,” he’s playing race car driver Alfonso de Portago, a stylish sportsman who both looked like and styled himself after “The Wild One.” “On the first or second page of the script, it refers to him as being like Brando,” says Leone, who had little time to prepare, flying to Italy a month after landing this huge career break.

raining on everyone’s parade.Barbra Streisand revealed that she most likely won’t make another film due to the fact that she finds the process, well, tiring.“It gets exhausting, trying to come up with the structure of the movie and then have it not happen,” Streisand, 81, told People magazine.“I had many movies that I wanted to make, and then I get lazy,” she continued. “I go, ‘Oh yeah, to do this one, I have to have all these fittings for period clothes.

But though his take on the story is his own, there’s still something elusive about Bonaparte’s story that doesn’t make a coherent whole: as is consistent with history, Scott’s Napoleon is a lover and a fighter, an incongruity that leads to sharp changes in tone and a restlessly episodic narrative that can be overwhelming in its dates, names and places.
