The 90’s were David Mamet’s decade, the 00’s not so much. If you’re like me, the only noteworthy item in the last ten was the grossly under-appreciated 2004 film Spartan. Mamet will begin the new decade by wearing the scribe and producer’s hat but leaving helming duties to Michael Worth, an unknown television actor whose turned to directing and is also producing a project that is based on a little known out of print book called Come Back To Sorrento by Dawn Powell.
The 10 Million dollar U.S/U.K production is set during the The Great Depression and details the story of a music teacher with a mysterious past. The teacher finds more than he expected when he travels to a small town in Ohio to teach music and comes to love a housewife seeking a long-forgotten dream. Felicity Huffman and hubby William H. Macy are looking to join the project and always dependable wife of Mamet, Rebecca Pidgeon will certainly take a role in the project.
Firefly’s Matthew Hobbs with Bla Bla Bla’s Kristin Holt, David Mamet and Michael Worth are producing.
