Netflix has acquired world rights to Italian rom-com “Era Ora” (“Still Time”), marking a uncommon occasion during which an Italian comedy is about to achieve worldwide visibility.
“Still Time” is directed by Alessandro Aronadio, a Los Angeles Film School graduate whose first work “One Life, Maybe Two” launched from Berlin’s Panorama part.
The idea comedy stars Edoardo Leo (“Perfect Strangers”) as a workaholic named Dante who’s perpetually late to every little thing essential and Barbara Ronchi, quickly to be seen in Marco Bellocchio’s “La Conversione,” as his girlfriend Alice with whom Dante winds up leaping forward a 12 months each few hours, simply as he needs to decelerate.
After displaying up hours late for his fortieth birthday celebration, Dante wakes up the subsequent day and it’s already the day of his forty first birthday and Alice is 4 months pregnant. Then upon waking up once more Alice places a child lady in his arms. And so on.
“Still Time,” which is an adaptation of Australian rom-com “Long Short Story” directed by Josh Lawson, is co-produced by Italy’s BIM Produzione, which is Wild Bunch Group Company; Palomar, a unit of France’s Mediawan Group; and Italy’s Vision Distribution.
The movie, which launched positively from the Rome Film Festival in October 2022, will drop on Netflix as an Italian authentic, on March 16, in 190 international locations.
Though it’s uncommon for Italian comedies and style motion pictures at giant to play globally as of late, there are sporadic instances during which they’ve grow to be worldwide hits. One being Paolo Genovese’s “Perfect Strangers,” which folllowing its 2016 Italian launch made greater than $30 million worldwide and spawned greater than 20 remakes, and Alessandro Genovesi’s satirical whodunit “7 Women and a Murder,” produced by Wildside, that lately made Netflix’s record of high ten most watched non-English movies.
“We are thrilled to associate with Netflix to convey “Still Time” to audiences around the globe,” stated Bim Produzione CEO, Riccardo Russo. “This movie is a touching illustration of the expertise and creativity of Italian filmmakers and actors, and we’re proud to have performed a task in bringing it to life,” he added.
