Franco Nero to reprise legendary role as Django.
Christian Alvart will direct from a screenplay by John
Sayles and Italian icon Franco Nero will reprise the role that brought him
worldwide fame in Sergio Corbucci’s 1966 classic Django.
Myriad will handle international sales and introduce the
project to buyers in Cannes next week.
Django Lives! will star Nero as a drifter in California
in 1914 who encounters White Supremacists.
“I’m excited and honored to be a part of this great
project that will update us on one of the greatest archetype characters of
movie history,” Alvart said.
“Having Christian direct Sayles’s powerful screenplay is
a dream come true,” Nero, who appeared in Quentin Tarantino’s 2012 western
Django Unchained, said. “Even Christian’s third son is named Django. It was
meant to be.”
Syrreal Entertainment’s Sigi Kamml, Josef Brandmaier and
Alvart produced alongside Fast Draw Films’ Carolyn Pfeiffer, Louis Black, David
Hollander, and Nancy P. Sanders.
The producers are preparing a shoot in Spain and Berlin,
Germany.
