Development

[edit]

Bertrand Mandico writes and directs the film, a co-production between France's Atelier de Production and Italy's Redibis Film and Dugong Films,[1][2] with support from the Italian Ministry of Culture.[3]

On 19 May 2024, producers Thomas and Mathieu Verhaeghe told French magazine Le Film français that they were going to produce the film.[4]

On 20 December 2024, Vogue France announced that Marion Cotillard will play the film's lead, an actress who is going to shoot her latest film in Rome in the 1980s, and that Alba Rohrwacher and Jasmine Trinca were also in the cast.[5]

On 25 April 2025, Noémie Merlant joined the cast.[6] On 28 May 2025, Maurizio Lombardi, Ornella Muti, Martina Scrinzi, Franco Nero and Isabella Ferrari joined the cast.[3][7] While Jasmine Trinca was no longer in the cast according to Cinecittà's website.[3] That same day, Variety reported that the film's plot details are being kept under wraps,[7] and Cinecittà's CEO Manuela Cacciamani announced during a press conference that Roma elastica "is a tribute to some of the great masters and legends of Italian cinema."[8]

Mandico's frequent collaborator Nicolas Eveilleau serves as director of photography.[9][10]

Filming

[edit]

Filming was originally scheduled to begin in January 2025,[5][11][12] but it was later postponed to the end of May 2025.[6] Filming will take place in Nice and Gaude in France,[13][14] and at Cinecittà studios in Rome, Italy.[7] Shooting began on 26 May 2025[9][15] and it is expected to end on 18 June 2025.[16]
