Our “bankable star” n.1 (as demonstrated by a Box Office study) will be present in these days at the Venice Film Festival with the opening film ‘Commander‘ Of Edward De Angelis and with the new film by Stefano Sollima ‘Slowly‘, while he has just finished filming ‘Naples-New York’ by Gabriele Salvatores.
