SAN SEBASTIAN — Director-producer-actress Carmen Chaplin is set to direct “, a Man of the World,” a theatrical documentary feature which will add a hardly-explored new facet to the creator of the Tramp, one of the most iconic cinema characters in popular consciousness, plumbing Chaplin’s Romani roots and heritage.
“Charlie Chaplin, A Man of the World” will be made in association with France’s MK2 which owns rights to Chaplin’s movies. Currently in development, it is scheduled to go into production in the first quarter of 2020, he added. Chaplin himself made no secret in his autobiography that his father was half-Romani, as was his mother. Chaplin did not have a birth certificate. He kept locked in his bedside table a letter, discovered in 2012 by daughter Victoria Chaplin, he received late in life claiming that he was born in a Gypsy caravan at Black Patch Park in Smethwick, Staffordshire.
Roma people form the largest minority in Europe, Remírez said. “That the most recognizable representation of humanity, the Tramp, was created by a Roma and all around the globe people relate to the character is a highly interesting concept we want to explore.”
