Kevin Spacey is set to lead the upcoming WWII drama "Melodies in the Forest" written and directed by Roberto Lippolis ("The Cat & The Moon"). Spacey will star as Petr Novotni, an 85-year-old world-renowned conductor whose buried wartime past violently resurfaces. The cast also includes John Savage ("The Deer Hunter"), Vincent Spano ("Rumble Fish"), Antonella Salvucci, Andrea Bruschi, Danny Kamensky, Riccardo Campione, Casper Kellndorfer and Enzo Storico.
Principal photography on the project is set to begin in October across Italy and the Czech Republic. Here is the official synopsis: "When celebrated conductor Petr Novotni is abducted during a routine walk, he recognises his captor as Yosef — a Jewish composer he encountered in Terezín in 1942. As investigators close in, Novotni’s children discover a hidden memoir that rewrites everything they believed about their father, forcing a reckoning with guilt, complicity, and the cost of survival."
The project is produced by Ventitre SRL in co-production with Pink Flamingo Media Group. Blue Eyes Film and Distribution has acquired worldwide sales rights and will introduce the project to international buyers at the Cannes Market. Lippolis also executive produces alongside Enzo Storico for Ventitre SRL, and Jayney Mackie for Pink Flamingo Media Group. Worldwide sales were negotiated by Michael Cowan of Blue Eyes Film and Ivan Perciballi of Xlegion, who also serves as executive producer.
Executive producer Michael Cowan, who is associated with Blue Eyes Film, has described the project as an "extraordinary story grounded in documented history", with a "cast and creative team that can carry it to the widest possible audience". He also said that the project is "one of our most significant acquisitions to date".
