Set in Los Angeles in 1957, the story follows filmmaker Federico Fellini's (Wagner Moura) first trip to America to attend the Oscars, during which time he went missing for 48 hours and barely made it to the ceremony. Afterwards he returned to Italy to create his two most iconic films- "La Dolce Vita" and "8½".
The pic comes up with a scenario as to what may have happened during those two days - in this case discovering the jazz and surf scenes and falling for a veterinarian (Cornish)
Terrence Howard, Peter Dinklage and William H. Macy are attached to play a jazz musician, the vet's lover and Fellini's publicist respectively. Nina Arianda will play Italian film star Giulietta Masina, the wife of the filmmaker
Henry Bromell directs from his own script
Andrew Lazar is producing the film.
Production begins early next year.
