Johnny Depp, Al Pacino and Riccardo Scamarcio: photo of the cast of the Modigliani-inspired biopic makes the rounds on the web

The photo showing Johnny Depp, Al Pacino and Riccardo Scamarcio smiling next to each other has made the rounds on social media. Indeed, filming is underway in Budapest on the biopic inspired by the life of Amedeo Modigliani, a film that features Johnny Depp himself as director, twenty-five years after his first film as director(The Brave, in 1997).

Playing the Leghorn artist is Riccardo Scamarcio. Also in the cast are Al Pacino and Luisa Ranieri as Rosalie, the owner of an Italian café in Paris.

The fim, based on a play by Dennis McIntyre and adapted for the big screen by Jerzy and Mary Kromolowski, will tell the story of Modigliani during his stay in Paris in 1916. In the foreground will be the life of the Leghorn artist through forty-eight turbulent and eventful hours that see him on the run from the police through the streets and bars of war-torn Paris. His desire to prematurely end his career and leave town will be rebuffed by fellow bohemians: the French artist Maurice Utrillo (played by Niney), the Belarusian Chaim Soutine, and his English muse and lover, Beatrice Hastings. Modigliani will seek advice from art dealer and friend Leopold Zborowski, but will be confronted by international art collector Gangnat (played by Al Pacino) who could change his life.

Filming began last fall in Hungary. Last September, the news agency Bhrt, had posted on Instagram an early video from the film’s set, showing Riccardo Scamarcio as Modigliani in an escape scene shot outside the Budapest Opera House.
