An updated remake of Vittorio De Sica's post-war Italian masterpiece, about an elderly man struggling to survive in contemporary NYC with little money while facing eviction from a spoiled, vindictive landlady. His loss of purpose and marginalization by society is barely made tolerable by his only family, a small dog named Flike, which he cares for like a child.
Written and Directed by Roy Carlo and slated to star Dominic Chianese (Godfather II, The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire) and Cathy Moriarity (Raging Bull, Analyze That), it will be shot entirely on location in Brooklyn.
* Produced in cooperation with Intramovies (Italia).
What can only be described as a fantasy/character study, it explores the lives of two women. An aspiring actress from Brooklyn who dreams of acting in old Italian movies, and a legendary actress from Rome who seems to have everything her protege wants. A very imaginative tribute to the post-war giants who put Italian cinema on the map and an homage to Anna Magnani who many consider (including Bette Davis) is the greatest actress who ever lived. With an unexpected ending, Ciao Roma! attempts to answer whose dream is the better one?
