Exclusive: The Exchange has announced a licensing and partnership deal with Ddl Entertainment producers Daniele Di Lorenzo and Stefano Corti, who have optioned the rights to develop a TV series adapted from Federico Fellini’s 1960 Oscar-winning classic La Dolce Vita.
The series will be inspired by the themes of the beloved classic, starring Marcello Mastroianni as a tabloid journalist navigating the heady world of late 1950s Rome but will not be a remake.
The partners said the series will be rather a portrait of the state of contemporary media, culture, and celebrity, and the eternal pursuit of the “dream”.
They have yet to assign writers to the project but are expected to do so after a strategic development partnership is in place.
“La Dolce Vita is an instantly recognizable and beloved classic. We will bring the same daring, thoughtfulness, and beauty to this series,” said The Exchange CEO Brian O’Shea.
