Filming on a Gianni Versace
biopic starring Antonio Banderas is set to begin in spring 2016,
said the film's director Bille August on Tuesday at the
Capri-Hollywood Film Festival.
"I'll tell the most intimate part of this artist and his
least-known sides," said the Danish director, who will start
work in 2017 on another Italian project, the life story of
Venetian composer Antonio Vivaldi.
August is chairman of this year's Capri-Hollywood Festival,
which is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
"I'm enthusiastic and honored to be president of the 20th
edition of Capri-Hollywood, which I consider one of the
strategic appointments leading up to award season," August said.
