Vincent Pérez is about to learn the price of desire…

The 48-year-old part-Spanish actor has been cast in The Price of Desire, a biopic about legendary architect and designer Eileen Gray.

Pérez, who was named one of People‘s 50 Most Beautiful People in the World in 1995, will portray Gray’s nemesis Le Corbusier. Shannyn Sossamon is set to portray Gray with Alanis Morissette set to play her lover.

The Mary McGuckian-directed film will tell the story of Gray, a pioneer of architecture’s Modern Movement, and her relationship with Le Corbusier.

It will also focus on the iconic E1027 Villa in Roquebrune Cap Martin, France and how it influenced and inspired a century of modern architecture.

Pérez film credits include The Crow: City of Angels, Queen of the Damned and Le bossu.
