Nobody is returning for Warner Brothers

 

Le Figaro

It is an announcement that resonates like a revolver in the Far West of the cinema. Almost 86 years old, and almost a decade after his last appearance on the screen in Il Mio Nome è Thomas (2018), Terence Hill announces his famous duster for a return as unexpected as thunderous in My Name is Nobody 2.

It was the biographer Alexandre Alfonsi who dropped the bomb in Le Figaro, revealing that the mythical actor is preparing to find the dusty plains of the spaghetti western. “In our biography ‘We call him Terence Hill’, We make a shattering announcement: the return of Terence Hill in the cinema”, he says.

First expected as a new Trinita adventure the project finally took another turn. “Producers first considered a sequel to They Call Me Trinity (1970), but they then realized that a new episode of My Name is Nobody (1973) would make sense “Explains Alfonsi.

If Henry Fonda alias Jack Beauregard, is no longer of this world to draw alongside his friend, this new opus half a century later promises to bring Terence Hill A little more in legend. He will resume his role as a person alongside Sister Blandina, a fearless nun having crossed the road with Billy The Kid.

The enthusiasm aroused by the announcement quickly attracted the attention of the studios. “After the announcement of a new Trinita, there was a snowball effect. Warner Bros. had sparkling eyes and it was they who ended up winning the place of Térence to return to business. He will embody a somebody, - with obviously a few more years on - who meets the sister Blandina, a courageous nun from the West, who herself knew Billy the Kid. For the moment I can’t tell you because I don’t know any more.”

If the scenario is still mysterious, the spirit of the Western Spaghetti, with its offbeat humor and its Homeric clashes, should still hit the bull’s eye.

*Remember that “My Name is Nobody” was co -written by Sergio Leone who entrusted the realization to his assistant Tonino Valerii. The film is set to music by Ennio Morricone in person. MF

The film has been in pre-production since 2021 under the working title “Trinity, the Nun and the Gun”. Cross your fingers but don’t count on it. TB
