Italy’s Lux Vide to Produce Big-Budget Series on 2012 Costa Concordia Shipwreck and Heroic Rescue Mission (EXCLUSIVE)
Luca Bernabei's Lux Vide banner is developing "Floating Lives," a drama series revolving around the 2012 Costa Concordia shipwreck and rescue mission.
Prominent Italian producer Luca Bernabei who runs Fremantle ‘s thriving Lux Vide banner, is getting ready for one of his most ambitious projects to date: “Floating Lives,” a six-part international drama series revolving around the 2012 Costa Concordia shipwreck. The producer explained that each episode will follow a firefighter and one of the passengers they saved, shifting between past and present — contrasting the lives of the rescuer and the guest before the tragedy, potentially showing their respective family life and dream vacation in the run up to the crash and the ensuing fight for survival. News of “Floating Lives” comes on the heels of a busy London Screenings market for Lux Vide where Fremantle presented “ Sandokan,” a modern take on the classic pirate tale adapted from Italian author Emilio Salgaria’s iconic book series, alongside “ Costiera.”
