Exclusive: Goodfellas has acquired world sales rights for Emilio Estevez’s The Way: Chapter 2, reuniting the actor-director with the cast members of his original 2010 hit, father Martin Sheen, Yorick Van Wageningen and James Nesbitt.
The sequel revisits protagonist Tom (Sheen) a decade after his first pilgrimage on Spain’s El Camino de Santiago in the footsteps of his deceased son Daniel (Estevez), as he reconnects with his walking companions Joost (van Wageningen) and Jack (Nisbitt).
Now embedded with Doctors Without Borders in northern Nigeria, performing surgery in a war zone, Tom is sent a copy of Jack’s bestselling book based on their shared experience, in which a disturbing secret is revealed.
Enraged, he leaves to search for Jack and find answers to questions that have haunted him for a decade. His journey reunites him with Joost and leads them through Amsterdam, Dublin, Brussels and France before returning to Spain and the Camino.

Movie theaters started to gradually reopen in Italy on Monday, serving up Oscar-winning titles such as “Minari” and “Mank” in a fraction of the country’s venues, just as Covid-19 restrictions begin to ease.
For the moment, it’s a few mostly arthouse venues in Italy’s biggest cities that are becoming active again, while Italian multiplexes remain closed until mid-May when Uci Cinemas, which is the country’s top exhibitor, has announced they will be back in business.
The cinema re-openings are allowed to go ahead on the basis of pre-ordered ticketing, distanced seating, obligatory mask-wearing inside the venues, and no popcorn.
Italy’s gradual easing of restrictions also sees museums reopening to visitors, with reservations required. Restaurants and bars in most Italian regions are allowed to serve people at outdoor tables for both lunch and dinner, although Italy’s 10 p.m. curfew remains in effect at present, though...

Italian outfit sets new film and TV production divisions.
Rome-based production outfit Wildside has launched new production divisions Wildside Series and Wildside Cinema in order to differentiate and grow its TV output.
According to the company, the aim is to produce and acquire more formats with international and local appeal.
Current Wildside Series TV projects include The Miracle, based on a story written by Niccolo’ Ammanniti, Tomorrow Is A Big Day, made in collaboration with Mediaset – and with discussions on-going around an English-language redo - and The Young Pope, Oscar-winner Paolo Sorrentino’s anticipated first foray into TV directing, which will be broadcast locally by Sky Italia.
To date, Wildside has produced an Italian version of In Treatment, and crime-series 1992, about the large-scale criminal investigation in the early 1990s into widespread corruption and bribery in Italian administrative, political, and business circles.
Directed by Giuseppe Gagliardi and Gianluca Iodice, the latter will be broadcast by Sky Italia this autumn...
