We’ve seen Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, and Gerard Butler lead many amazing movies, and they’re finally getting ready to do it by each other’s side. This amazing trio will star in In the Hand of Dante, the promising crime thriller filming in Italy under the SAG-AFTRA interim agreement.

In the Hand of Dante is based on Nick Tosches’ book of the same name, and the action kicks off when the original manuscript of Dante’s The Divine Comedy emerges on the black market. The mob calls a weary scholar Nick to authenticate it, but he can’t resist the temptation to steal it for himself.

His choice takes him on a dark and violent path, where Nick and Dante’s timelines weave separate paths, but with many similarities that tie them together, as they lose themselves chasing love, beauty, and the very promise of the divine. 

Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, and Gerard Butler will head to Italy to film this project, which landed an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA allowing them to film during the actors’ strike. Oscar nominee Julian Schnabel is coming on board as a director and one of the executive producers, along with Isaac through his production company Mad Gene Media, and Martin Scorsese alongside DreamCrew, Screen Capital/Screen One, and Tribune Pictures.
