Italy preps retelling of ghost tale
The 3D craze is spreading around the world and is now being felt in Italy. Buried in a Variety article about the growing trend overseas was this little nugget.
“Producer Vito Matassino, a former UIP and Filmauro exec, recently announced plans for stereoscopic cameras to start rolling by this summer on an English-language adaptation of the classic Henry James ghost novella “The Turn of the Screw” touted as Italy’s first new generation 3D feature, to be helmed by Italo horror helmer Marcello Avallone (“Specters,” “The Last Cut”) and produced by his new Europictures shingle. Lilliwood will be handling the stereoscopy side of the Italo 3D “Turn of the Screw” redo.”
This will be Avallone’s first production in over ten years.
