In a surprising announcement, legendary actor Al Pacino has officially joined the cast of “Modi,” a European art biopic that also features “John Wick: Chapter 2” star Riccardo Scamarcio.
The film is being directed by none other than Hollywood icon Johnny Depp, who is also producing the project through his European outlet IN.2.
This will be the first time the pair are working together since 1997’s Donnie Brasco.
“Modi” is set to focus on 48 hours in Modigliani’s life in 1916, as he runs from police through the streets of war-torn Paris and debates whether to end his artistic career.
Pacino’s addition to the “Modi” lineup only adds to the anticipation for the project, as the actor is widely regarded as one of the greatest performers of his generation. He has appeared in countless classic films over the years, earning critical acclaim and a legion of fans in the process.
Scamarcio, meanwhile, has been making a name for himself in recent years with his dynamic performances in films like “John Wick: Chapter 2,” “Loro,” and “The Traitor.” With Depp at the helm, the stage is set for the talented Italian actor to deliver yet another standout performance in “Modi.”
Depp, for his part, is no stranger to the world of filmmaking, having acted in and produced numerous projects over the course of his career. His involvement in “Modi” is sure to lend the film an air of creative expertise and visual flair.
