Benedict Cumberbatch plays a schizophrenic cat-loving painter in his new film

Recently, Benedict Cumberbatch is filming the biographical film "Louis Wain" in Kent, England. From the latest leaked photos from the set, we can see Benny's old age in the film.

In addition to the eye-catching special effects makeup of the elderly with white hair and beard, the film's costumes and props also look very sophisticated. Whether it is the bus in the field or the actors' British-style attire, they all appear to be very contemporary.

Louis Wain, a talented British illustrator, was known for his love of cats. He served as the chairman of the British Cat Society, but was suspected of suffering from schizophrenia in his later years. He left behind a large number of cat-themed illustrations in his life, with a unique style, often using extremely exaggerated anthropomorphic cats to mock the trend of the times.

Benedict Cumberbatch is very familiar with playing such genius characters with strong personality and a bit of neurosis. In addition to Sherlock Holmes, he has also played Hawking in "The Biography", Van Gogh in "Van Gogh: A Life in Painting", and Turing in "The Imitation Game"... This time he should also give a wonderful performance for the life of Louis Wain.

"Louis Wain" is written and directed by Japanese director Tomomori Fukuda, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Claire Foy, Stacey Martin, Sharon Rooney and others. It is expected to be released in 2020.
