Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Under the leadership of new CEO Annamaria Morelli, The Apartment — the Fremantle-owned outfit which will attend Venice with three hot titles including Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer” — is set to produce the next project by emerging Italian director Carolina Cavalli.
Cavalli – whose first feature “Amanda” went to Venice and Toronto – is set to shoot a follow-up titled “The Kidnapping of Arabella” that will see her reteam with “Amanda” protagonist Benedetta Porcaroli in the lead role.
Similarly to “Amanda” – an absurdist arrested development comedy that traveled widely and garnered critical praise – “The Kidnapping of Arabella” will see Porcaroli play a young female misfit named Holly who “is convinced that she is the wrong version of herself until she meets a 7-year-old girl who makes her change her mind,” according to the film’s provided synopsis. “I think lonely people who come together to solve a problem have already solved the biggest one, and this is what makes me happy about this story,” Cavalli said in a statement to Variety. “I can’t wait to start and I am very grateful for this opportunity,” added the auteur, who also wrote the “Kidnapping of Arabella” screenplay.
Iranian-born multi-hyphenate Babak Jalali, who frequently collaborates with Cavalli and was the editor of “Amanda,” is on board as editor for “Kidnapping of Arabella.” Shooting on “The Kidnapping of Arabella” is set to start Aug.
