Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Italian crime/action genre specialist Stefano Sollima – who is known for milestone TV series “Gomorrah” and Hollywood movies such as “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” and “Without Remorse” – is officially launching a film and TV production shingle named AlterEgo in tandem with ace U.S.
showrunner Gina Gardini and longtime collaborator, writer/director Ludovico Purgatori. The high-powered trio have been associates since “Gomorrah” and, more recently, Sollima’s Rome-set crime drama “Adagio” and his upcoming Netflix serial killer series “Il Mostro” – the latter two partly produced by AlterEgo.
They are now widening their scope and will start shepherding film and TV works by other talents and also venturing into different genres. “The reason we decided to call ourselves Alter Ego is that we didn’t start out as producers,” said Sollima (pictured, left). “So each of us has their own specificity.” The name “alter ego” refers “precisely our individual ability to put this knowledge at the service of new IPs and to provide our know-how to other talents,” Sollima continued.
Gardini (pictured, center) who is a former Miramax exec and partner in Italy’s ITV-owned Cattleya – which she left in 2022 – said that “in recent years we’ve managed to create a brand of sorts with [high-end] projects rooted in Italy, but with an ambition and proven ability to travel.” Now the idea is “to capitalize on what we’ve buil over these years,” she went on.
