A teaser trailer for
Giovanni Veronesi's
Manual of Love 3 (Manuale d'amore 3), which is an anthology of love stories set in Italy, starring
Robert De Niro and
Monica Bellucci, has gone online.
The film has received attention because it's managed to land De Niro and Bellucci in one of the storylines. As we previously reported, De Niro will play a divorced American professor living in Rome and his role will partially be spoken in Italian. Bellucci will play his love interest.
Also stars
Michele Placido, Laura Chiatti, Valeria Solarino, and
Donatella Finocchiaro.
Manual of Love 3 will hit theaters in Italy on February 25th, 2011. No word if it will ever be released in the US.
In an interview with Variety, producer
Aurelio De Laurentiis said that the first two movies have been successful in Europe making a combined total of $45 million at the Italian box office.
But now, he hopes that by casting the Oscar winner, the third movie will reach a wider audience, saying:
“This third one, with De Niro in the cast, will have greater international ambitions.”
