Johnny Depp has reached the first round of the year Modi castAccording to a recent report by , he unveiled a star-studded cast for his forthcoming directorial endeavour meeting.
Who is in the cast of Modi?
The Modi cast is led by Italian actor Riccardo Scamarcio (John Wick: Chapter 2) and also includes Pierre Niney (Yves Saint Laurent) and acting legend Al Pacino (The Godfather).
According to the deadline, filming is scheduled to begin sometime in the fall in Budapest. The project is based on a play by Dennis McIntyre and adapted for the screen by Jerzy and Mary Kromolowski.
The biopic tells the story of Italian artist Amedeo Clemente Modigliani, often known just as Modigliani. It will chronicle his time in Paris in 1916 and his interactions with French artist Maurice Utrillo, Belarusian-born Chaim Soutine and his English muse and lover Beatrice Hastings.
Producer Barry Navidi said in a statement that he and Pacino have followed the film’s development for “many years” and he looks forward to making this moment come true.
“This is a snapshot of Modigliani’s life that gives us insight into his struggle as an artist suffering from a lack of recognition and a project that Al and I have been pursuing for many years,” Navidi said. “Our incredible cast, coupled with the vision, wit and sensitivity that Johnny will bring behind the camera, will make this dream come true.”
Modi will also be Depp’s second directorial effort, having worked behind the camera in 1997’s The Brave, a film in which he starred alongside Marlon Brando. It’s currently unknown if Depp will star or appear in Modi.
