AMBI Group has announced that it has reached a deal with the estate of Federico Fellini to option the rights to a remake of the Italian director’s 1960 classic La Dolce Vita, which is being described as “a modern update.”
“We’ve been approached countless times and asked to consider everything from remakes and re-imaginings to prequels and sequels,” said Fellini’s niece Francesca Fellini as part of the official announcement. “We knew it would take very special producers and compelling circumstances to motivate the family to allow rights to be optioned.”
The recipient of the Palme d’Or at Cannes, La Dolce Vita was nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Director, and won the Oscar for Best Costume Design.
