(February 15, 2017) Andrea Bocelli once again crosses his national borders and conquers the cover of the film magazine "Just Cinema International". The industry tabloid, distributed these days at the Berlin Festival, chose to feature on its cover the production of the film "The Music of Silence", a film inspired by the life of one of the most beloved tenors in the world. The film is based on the eponymous Andrea Bocelli autobiography published in Italy by De Agostini. The international project features a prestigious cast: Antonio Banderas in the role of a music teacher, Toby Sebastian (Bocelli adult), Jordi Molla (the father), Luisa Ranieri (the mother), Ennio Fantastichini (uncle), in addition to a cameo of the tenor himslef. The film, directed by Michael Radford (who directed the award-winning "The Postman" and "The Merchant of Venice"), will also feature some new songs that Bocelli composed at a very young age and never released. Anna Pavignano and Michael Radford sign the screenplay in collaboration with Andrea Bocelli. "The Music of Silence" is produced by Roberto Sessa for Picomedia with Andrea Iervolino and Monika Bacardi for AMBI Media Group in collaboration with Rai Fiction. (Red)
