Messi the border collie as Snoop in Anatomy of a Fall, lying against a blue background
The Big Picture The French film Anatomy of a Fall received five nominations at the Academy Awards, but it was another aspect of the film that has kept everyone talking about it: Messi, the Border Collie who starred in Anatomy of a Fall. Messi's performance was highly lauded as one of the best animal roles ever put on-screen, and now the four-legged actor is going in front of the camera again.
The show, which is officially called Messi: The Cannes Film Festival from a Dog’s Eye View, will be a series of eight one-minute episodes and will be broadcast on a variety of French TV channels. The idea for the show came from Tim Newman, who will produce the show for D18, while Loïc Pourageaux will direct. Raphaël Mezrahi will provide Messi's voice.
Messi became such a star that he even attended the Oscars for a brief period, despite initial reports that he wouldn't make an appearance. The dog filmed a series of reaction shots prior to the start of the ceremony, and Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel even mentioned Messi's popularity during his opening monologue. A clip of Messi appearing to "clap" for other nominees also went viral.
