Member AlbertV Posted October 14, 2015 Author Member Share Posted October 14, 2015 A screenwriter has been hired and it is John Sayles, who wrote and directed one of my favorite 80's movies, Eight Men Out, about the 1919 Black Sox scandal. Franco Nero has been confirmed to be returning to the role he started 50 years ago! However, there is still a search for a director as the originally announced Joe D'Augustine opted not to helm the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Balhae Bandit Posted October 14, 2015 Member Share Posted October 14, 2015 This sounds friggin amazing. I doubt Sayles would join if there was no decent talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Lady Jin Szu-Yi Posted October 15, 2015 Member Share Posted October 15, 2015 Nero discussed this sometime during or after filming Django Unchained. Nice to hear some movement on it. Should be interesting. I understand why the time frame has to be bumped... The first film is awesome. I still remember learning the few Italian phrases I know from watching the original constantly.

Member DragonClaws Posted October 15, 2015 Member Share Posted October 15, 2015 This is great news, didn't Nero return to the role in the 80's too?. I've watched the original more than few times over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like a nice misleading film poster lol. Another Nero classic is Keoma, the theme tune stayed in my head for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Lady Jin Szu-Yi Posted October 17, 2015 Member Share Posted October 17, 2015 I dig Keoma, but I cannot listen to the soundtrack. Whenever I watch, it is silently. One thing I love about some of Enzo Castellari's work is that he's so visual. And I can still appreciate an excellent movie without sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By turning off the soundtrack you may spot things visually you normally wouldn't. A lot of the good Italian directors no matter what genre there focusing on are really visual.
