Al Pacino's love for theater and film will intersect again with Salomaybe? -- a feature film in the vein of his 1996 documentary "Looking for Richard," reports Variety. 

The film will interweave behind-the-scenes footage from a current Los Angeles staging of Oscar Wilde's "Salome" with fictional elements.

Pacino directs and also will be on camera in the pic. He plays King Herod in the biblically inspired tragi-comedy about lust and betrayal, which bowed last week at L.A.'s Wadsworth Theater. Production previously played Broadway.

Others involved in the play will feature in the pic as well. Among the cast of characters are Kevin Anderson, who plays John the Baptist; rising thesp and Juilliard grad Jessica Chastain, who takes on Salome; and the play's director, Estelle Parsons. As with "Looking for Richard," additional players will be added as the story unfolds both on stage and on film, says the trade.
