Liam Neeson Will Star in New Comedy MADE IN ITALY

According to Variety, Liam Neeson and Micheal Richardson ("Vox Lux") will lead "Made in Italy," James D'Arcy's debut as feature-length director.

Neeson will play a bohemian London artist who returns to Italy with his estranged son, portrayed by Richardson, to sell the house they inherited from his late wife. The movie, also written by D'Arcy, begins production in April.

HanWay Films managing director Gabrielle Stewart said, "It has been exciting to see this popular screenplay and project really mature and take shape this year; and with Liam and Micheal playing a father and son facing challenges both emotional and comedic in Tuscany, we are in for a very special treat."

D'Arcy, who starred in "Dunkirk" and "Cloud Atlas," wrote and directed the short film "Chicken/Egg," starring Hayley Atwell and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, which played at the 2017 Edinburgh International Film Festival.
