Academy Award nominee Juliette Lewis and Academy Award winner Federico Fellini unite for …wait a minute, what?
Lewis, an Academy Award nominee for her turn in “Natural Born Killers,” will star in “The Days of Mary,” a remake of Fellini’s “Nights of Cabiria,” which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1957.
Meg McGarry and Brad Michael Gilbert will adapt Fellini’s original screenplay, which he wrote with Ennio Flaino and Tullio Pinelli. Bob Fosse attempted this before, staging a 1966 Broadway musical and then adapting it into a 1969 film that earned three Oscar nominations but was a box office flop.
