Oscar-winning French actor Marion Cotillard is set to star in Bertrand Mandico's Italian cinema homage 'Roma Elastica' to be shot at Rome's Cinecittà.

Marion Cotillard is set to star in French director Bertrand Mandico ’s “Roma Elastica,” a homage to the glory days of Italian cinema that will soon shoot at Rome’s Cinecittà Studios. Mandico is an eclectic cult director known for a gender-bending body of work that comprises his debut feature “The Wild Boys,” about five wealthy adolescent boys sent to a tropical island, all played by actresses, which premiered in Venice and topped Cahiers du Cinéma’s 2018 list of Top 10 films; “After Blue” (“Dirty Paradise”) a sci-fi western with a primarily female cast; and feminist sci-fi horror movie “She Is Conann” that launched from the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight in 2023. Plot details of “Roma Elastica” are being kept under wraps besides that it’s a homage “to some of the great masters of Italian cinema,” as Cinecittà CEO Manuela Cacciamani put it during a press conference about the latest developments at the famed Rome film facilities.
