Moi with the Manetti Bros in NYC, 2012 |
Cineuropa is reporting that shooting is underway for the Manetti Brothers' new film Diabolic, which follows the adventures of the famous Italian comic book hero- a fascinating, steely-eyed thief created in the 60s by Angela and Luciana Giussani. The all-star cast includes Luca Marinelli, Miriam Leone, Valerio Mastandrea, Claudia Gerini and Serena Rossi.
Written by Michelangelo La Neve and the Manetti Bros., who penned the story alongside Mario Gomboli, the film will tell the darkly romantic story of Diabolik and Eva’s first meeting, set in the fictitious state of Clerville in the 1960s. The movie will be shot between Courmayeur, Bologna, Milan and Trieste.
“Diabolik is the dream that we’ve been chasing since the very beginning”, the two brothers explained when announcing the film to attendees of the Giornate Professionali del Cinema event in Sorrento, back in December. “We’re in seventh heaven and thrilled to be bringing this project to the big screen. We’ll do everything we can to do it justice”. Meanwhile, CEO of RAI Cinema Paolo Del Brocco commented: “We can’t wait to see the Manetti brothers get to work on this idea, which is a perfect fit for the two most pop directors in Italian film”. He went on to predict “an innovative and amazing, all-Italian film”.
The film will be released in Italian cinemas in 2020.
