It’s all in the family.
Real-life father and son, Liam Neeson and Micheál Richardson, have been tapped to star in James D’Arcy’s directorial debut Made in Italy as, well, a father and son.
According to Deadline, Neeson will play Robert, a bohemian London artist who returns to Italy with his estranged son played by Richardson, to make a quick sale of the house they inherited from his late wife.
HanWay Films managing director Gabrielle Stewart said, “It has been exciting to see this popular screenplay and project really mature and take shape this year; and with Liam and Micheal playing a father and son facing challenges both emotional and comedic in Tuscany, we are in for a very special treat.”
Previously attached to star as the father-son duo were Bill Nighy and Jack Lowden.
Richardson’s other credits include Vox Lux.
The film is due to commence production April in Italy.
