Megan Fox, Michele Morrone to Star in Movie to "The Sicilian"
Yara Sameh
Voltage Pictures has taken worldwide rights to "The Sicilian", an action thriller led by Transformers' Megan Fox, Another Simple Favor's Michele Morrone, Riff Raff's Emanuela Postacchini and Game of Thrones' Iain Glen.
Swedish filmmaker Amir Chamdin directs with filming commencing this September in Sicily, Italy, and Canada.
Written by Sandro Lorino, Rich Ronat, and Nate Adams, based on a story by Lorino and Antonio Lorino, "The Sicilian" follows a family man with a shadowy past who becomes entangled in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with the first female boss of the Cosa Nostra. Tension builds as personal loyalties clash with underworld codes against the storied Sicilian backdrop of Corleone.
Chamdin, whose credits span both television (Partisan) and the music videos 'Satinized' and 'Lachryma' by Ghost, which recently held the No. 1 spot on the U.S. Billboard chart, describes the project as 'a powerful story molded into a tense action thriller in the vein of classic Lumet or Frankenheimer films. It never stops. It never lets you go.'
Producer Richard Salvatore (The Big Wedding, The Comeback Trail) produces alongside Sandro Lorino and Norbert Krott of Lorino Pictures and Nate Adams (Vanquish). EPs include Fabio Costabile (Skincare) and Dirk Schweitzer (Operation Napoleon).
Fox's other feature credits in addition to the Transformers franchise includes the cult horror title, "Jennifer's Body", as well as the psychological thriller "Till Death" and the recent sci-fi entry "Subservience".
Morrone gained international recognition for his breakout role as Massimo Torricelli in the Netflix series 365 Days trilogy. His debut album, "Dark Room", features prominently in the 365 Days soundtracks, including the hit single 'Feel it.'
Glen continues to earn praise for his work in "Silo" and his portrayal of Ser Jorah Mormont in HBO's "Game of Thrones".
Italian actress Postacchini gained international recognition for her roles in "The Alienist", "Who Is America?", "The Seven Faces of Jane", "Robots", and most recently, the hit ensemble comedy "Riff Raff", alongside Bill Murray and Jennifer Coolidge.
