[…] Also on Nunnari’s current development slate is Everybody’s Fine, a remake of the 1990 Italian drama Stanno Tutti Bene that was directed by Giuseppe Tornatore and starred Marcello Mastroianni and won the Ecumenical Jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival as well as being a Palme d’Or nominee. “Everybody’s Fine is a fantastic project. Kirk Jones (Waking Ned Devine) is attached to direct. He wrote the script. It’s one of my dearest pieces of material. (Jones) is an unbelievable filmmaker. He doesn’t make (as many) movies as the audience would prefer. He’s very precise about what he wants to do. He turns down many, many things.

“A couple of years ago we decided to develop this material. We have a fantastic cast, which includes (Robert) De Niro and Kate Winslet and probably (will include other stars). I mean, we’re in the middle of casting, so those things are subject to every negotiation. De Niro and Winslet had a fantastic read through of the script with the director. They loved the material and we’re working on putting it together. De Niro and Winslet definitely want to make this movie.” […]

Ok, so this is beyond awesome!

The lovely Steph stumbled upon a copy of “The Sense And Sensibility Screenplay & Diaries” in her university library. It’s written by Emma Thompson and includes entries from a diary she kept during the making of the film, many of which make mention of our beloved Kate. And she was kind enough to share it with us. The whole thing is fabulous, so as she was reading, she jotted down the Kate mentions. There are some very cute and funny bits here and there.

You can read it by clicking the link below or at the filmography’s Sense And Sensibility page. :)
