‘Versailles’ Star Alexander Vlahos to Lead Indie Climate Crisis Drama ‘Hearts of Salt,’ Set in Sicily and Tunisia
variety.comNick Vivarelli International Correspondent Welsh actor Alexander Vlahos, known for his roles in TV series such as “Merlin,” “Outlander” and “Versailles,” is set to play a British ornithologist who, during a field trip to Sicily, gets involved in more than mere birdwatching.
Shooting is underway in Sicily on the indie drama “Hearts of Salt,” the first feature by London-based line producer Rosa Russo.
The passion project is structured as a three-way co-production between Italy, the U.K. and Tunisia, with shooting also planned in the North African country.
