- Daniel Roher is directing Netflix's Italian-set romantic caper 'Positano,' starring Matthew McConaughey and Zoe Saldaña as a charming jewel thief and a mysterious woman plotting a high-stakes score worth more than money.
- Toni Collette, Karren Karagulian, Salvatore Esposito, Michele Savoia, and Lorenzo de Moor were added to the cast, with character details kept under wraps.
- Alessandro Tanaka and Brian Gatewood penned the screenplay, with Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan producing for Working Title alongside Derrin Schlesinger.
- Toni Collette is coming off roles in Netflix's 'Wayward,' Bong Joon Ho's 'Mickey 17,' and Eastwood's 'Juror #2,' and is set for Netflix's AI-themed thriller '2034' and the drama 'Ibelin.'
- Karren Karagulian, a frequent Sean Baker collaborator ('Anora,' 'Red Rocket'), is set for David Fincher's 'The Adventures of Cliff Booth' and Amazon MGM's 'The Man with the Bag.'
- Salvatore Esposito and Lorenzo de Moor are both cast in the upcoming drama 'Maserati: The Brothers' opposite Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino, with de Moor also attached to a 'Cliffhanger' reboot and 'The Resurrection of the Christ: Part Two.'
Why it matters: Roher pairs his post-Oscar momentum with Working Title's commercial track record, giving Netflix a globe-hopping McConaughey-led package that leverages Collette's awards pedigree and Karagulian's indie credibility from Anora to broaden appeal beyond a single demographic.
