WBPI collaborates on Italian pair
NEW YORK -- Continuing to forge local production and acquisitions alliances in Italy this year, Warner Bros. Pictures International said Thursday that it will co-produce and distribute the Italian-language features L'Amore Ritorna (Love Returns) and Tre Metri Sopra Il Cielo (Three Steps Over Heaven) in Italy. The move marks WBPI's third and fourth Italian-language collaborations to date. The studio will partner with BiancaFilm on Love and with Cattleya on Steps. Sergio Rubini will helm and co-star in Love, which goes before cameras Aug. 18. The project is a comedic drama centering on a famous actor forced to reconsider his life and relationships after he is afflicted with a serious illness. Fabrizio Bentivoglio, Margherita Buy and Giovanna Mezzogiorno round out the cast. As an actor, Rubini has a role in Mel Gibson's latest directorial effort, The Passion, and he directed L'Anima gemella (Soul Mate) last year.
