The filming of Immaturi - Il viaggio will last nine weeks and will take place almost entirely in Greece, on the island of Paros, before ending in Rome. After finding themselves once again faced with their school leavers' exam, the seven protagonists - Raoul Bova, Ambra Angiolini, Luca Bizzarri, Ricky Memphis, Barbora Bobulova, Paolo Kessisoglu and Anita Caprioli - decide to organise their trip to Greece that they did not manage during their school days. Willingly or not, they leave with wives, girlfriends, parents and children in tow, and find new adventures and growth, each finding new strengths and weaknesses.
The cast is very much in harmony: apart from Maurizio Mattioli, Giovanna Ralli, Luisa Ranieri, Giulia Michelini, Alessandro Tiberi and Aurora Giovinazzo, new characters will be played by Lucia Ocone, Francesca Valtorta, Lavinia Longhi, Aurora Cossio and Rocio Muoz. The film is produced by Lotus Production and by Medusa Film; it will be distributed by Medusa on January 5, 2012.
10 cose per farla innamorare, has begun shooting in Rome, and stars Vincenzo Salemme (Senza arte né parte - see news) - as an old-time playboy who tries to explain to his shy and awkward son (Guglielmo Scilla, aka Willwoosh, YouTube star) fool-proof rules for making a woman fall in love. The cast includes Enrica Pintore (from the TV programme l'Eredità), the Medusa Trio, Giulio Berruti, Zelig's comedian Giorgio Verduci (who stars in the film as the misogynist barman Sandrone), Pietro Masotti, Piero Cardano and Fatima Trotta. This is the fifth feature from the author of Rosso come il cielo [+see also:
