Monica Bellucci will star in “Le Meraviglie” (The Wonders). Le Meraviglie will be directed by Alice Rohrwacher, a young but still promising Italian talent who already won a Silver Ribbon in 2011 for her directorial debut “Corpo Celeste”.
Shootings will begin in October, when Monica is done with Emir Kusturica’s Love and War.

Speaking about Love and War, Kusturica (who also scripted the project) will play the lead, a man at war who becomes a monk at the end of his life, while Monica Bellucci will play the love of his life. According to the latest news from the crew, Monica has been learning Serbian in preparation for the role and will start shooting next month in Southern Bosnia.

Love And War is being produced by Paula Vaccaro through Pinball London Ltd. Other partners are BN Films in Los Angeles and Rasta International (Kusturica’s own company.) The film is being put together as a Serbian-UK-US production.

 Monica Bellucci sarà la protagonista di “Le Meraviglie”, un film diretto da Alice Rohrwacher, giovane ma promettente talento italiano che ha già vinto un Nastro d’argento nel 2011 per il suo debutto alla regia, “Corpo Celeste”. Le riprese inizieranno ad ottobre, quando Monica sarà libera dagli impegni presi con Kusturica, per Love and War.

E a proposito di Love and War, Kusturica (che ha anche firmato la sceneggiatura) interpreterà il protagonista, un uomo in guerra che si fa monaco alla fine della vita, mentre Monica Bellucci interpreterà l’amore della sua vita. Secondo le ultime news dalla crew, Monica ha imparato il serbo in preparazione per il ruolo, e inizierà a girare il mese prossimo nel sud della Bosnia.

Love and War è prodotto da Paula Vaccaro della Pinball London Ltd. Altri partners sono la BN Films di Los Angeles e la Rasta International (dello stesso Kusturica). Il film uscirà come produzione Serba, britannica e americana.
