A film about the origins of 'Once Upon a Time in America' is in development.

In 1984, Sergio Leone arrived in Cannes with Once Upon a Time in America, a film destined to become one of the most iconic works in cinematic history.

At this year's Cannes Film Festival, Raffaella Leone announced a new international project dedicated to the film's origins and the extensive creative and production journey that led to its creation:

“It's fundamentally the story of a man who chases a dream his entire life.”

A project that will be produced together with Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio and Vice Pictures.
