Giuseppe Tornatore's La Sconosciuta and Martin Scorsese's The Departed could be among the titles that will screen at the first edition of the Rome Film Festival (Oct 13-21). According to industry gossip - but without any confirmation from Rome organisers - titles that could be heading to Rome also include Ridley Scott's A Good Year, Steven Zaillian’s All The King's Men with Jude Law and Sean Penn and Mira Nair's The Namesake. On the Italian front, in addition to La Sconosciuta, Rome could be a shoo-in for Paolo Virzi's comedy N, which stars Daniel Auteuil and Monica Bellucci. "We are looking for big European premieres - although world premieres are even better. But we are also focusing on films from directors who will get an international boost from the festival," said Rome director Giorgio Gosetti. Gosetti admits convincing producers to give a film to a new festival hasn't always been an easy ride. But he says that Rome's cinema heritage means most producers and sellers have welcomed the festival with open arms. "They were often surprised that it was only the first edition," he said. "And a lot of directors and producers are really happy to support a festival that is just starting." The Rome Film Festival will unveil its full line-up in September.
