Italian actress Sophia Loren will star in a function movie for the primary time in a decade, courtesy of Netflix.
The streamer’s new Italian-language drama, “The Life Ahead,” starring 86-year-old Loren, will debut Nov. 13, Deadline reports. The movie is directed by the star’s son, Edoardo Ponti.
“When my son proposed the position to me, it was a dream come true. I jumped on the alternative to make it,” Loren instructed Deadline. “I cherished portraying Madame Rosa. She is hard, she is fragile, she is a survivor. In some ways she jogs my memory of my very own mom.”
The Academy Award winner (1961’s “Two Women”) performs a Jewish lady and Holocaust survivor who helps increase the kids of prostitutes — and he or she’s already getting Oscar buzz for the position.
That is smart, given the timing. Although award season is pushed again because of the pandemic (the 2021 Oscars will happen April 25), “The Life Ahead’s” November launch date suits snugly with Netflix’s conventional status rollouts. Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman,” for example, dropped Nov. 27 final 12 months — the identical 12 months Netflix managed 7 out of 20 appearing nominations.
“The Life Ahead” hopes to have an in-person world premiere in Rome in late October.
