(ANSA) - NAPLES, 30 DEC - '' In ten days I will be on the set for 'The first day of my life', based on the novel I wrote 4 years ago (published by Einaudi ed).
I've been working for a while and I really care.
I will shoot entirely in Rome, it's a story about the strength to start over when everything around seems to collapse.
Now that we see everything black, the film comes at the right time, even emotionally ''.
Paolo Genovese tells the story of his 2021 online in Capri, Hollywood online, a year that film reopening permitting, could immediately bring the Roman director into the room.
'' The release of Superheroes, with Jasmine Trinca and Alessandro Borghi, was scheduled for January for Medusa.
We will see what happens, we wait and resist, we want to show it to the cinema, the room gives back an emotion that no other means can give.
Films are made for the public and to be seen on the big screen.
In 2021 I could find myself with two films ready - Genovese notes - that no one has seen yet: it is paradoxical and a little frustrating.
However, I am optimistic, the room is a place that can be safe, with adequate spacing and all precautions ''.
Festival producer Pascal Vicedomini welcomes Genovese into his Capri, virtual Hollywood, an event that has often seen him as a protagonist, between Italy and Los Angeles, on the wave of the worldwide success of 'Perfect Strangers'.
At the center of the long chat with the author (after the dramatic year of the accident, in which the young Gaia and Camilla died in Rome, for whom their son Pietro has just been sentenced to 8 years), there is the set at the gates.
'' I am proud of my cast, I work for the first time with Toni Servillo, the character he plays is difficult, suspended between the real and the surreal, we will find together an interpretative key.
Then there are Margherita Buy, Vittoria Puccini, Valerio Mastandrea, Sara Serraiocco, it's a choral film ''.
