RAI Cinema Bolsters New World Sales Unit in Cannes With 4 Titles, Including Toni Servillo-Starrer ‘The Blunder’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Italy's new RAI Cinema world sales unit is getting traction in Cannes with 4 new titles, including Toni Servillo-starrer 'The Blunder.'
Italian state broadcaster RAI’s new world sales arm is gaining traction in Cannes — following its soft launch in Berlin — with four new titles on its slate, including veteran auteur Roberto Andò’s historical drama “The Blunder” starring Toni Servillo(“The Great Beauty”). In “The Blunder,” which is currently shooting in Sicily, Servillo plays a Sicilian colonel at the head of a ragtag unit trying to outsmart the enemy during the 1860 battle led by Giuseppe Garibaldi that resulted in the unification of Italy (see first-look image, above). The fourth addition to the RAI Cinema International slate is Italy-set comic Western “Heads or Tails” by sophomore directorial duo Alessio Rigo de Righi and Matteo Zoppis (“The Tale of King Crab”), which is inspired by a true event that took place during Buffalo Bill’s stay in Italy.
