Al Pacino, Katie Holmes Getty Kidnapping Drama ‘Captivated’ Set for Imminent Rome Shoot as Producer Andrea Iervolino Boards (EXCLUSIVE)

As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve joined the team for “Captivated,” an intriguing mob thriller graced by the talents of Al Pacino and Katie Holmes. This project aims to offer a fresh perspective on the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III, steering away from the narrative presented in Ridley Scott’s “All the Money in the World.” Production for this captivating film is set to commence in the enchanting cityscape of Rome later this month. Can’t wait to see it unfold on the big screen!

The film titled ‘Enthralled,’ helmed by Dito Montiel (‘A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints,’ ‘Riff Raff’), chronicles the 1973 abduction of Getty III and the unanticipated relationship that forms between Saro Mammoliti, a powerful Calabrian mob boss (portrayed by Al Pacino in his mature role), and Gail Getty, the mother of Getty III, to be portrayed by Emma Holmes.

According to the summary, these characters are “two individuals hailing from utterly distinct realms, brought close by a traumatic event that will indelibly mark their destinies.” As they navigate through emotional turmoil and hidden attraction, their relationship unfolds like an intriguing game of chess, significantly contributing to the enigma surrounding the Getty kidnapping.

It’s been reported that Toby Kebbell, originally cast as the younger Mammoliti, is no longer part of the project titled “Captivated”. Sources suggest that Meadow Walker and Dermot Mulroney could be negotiating to join the film in undisclosed roles.

As the CEO of the newly established Andrea Iervolino Company, I am thrilled to be involved in a project that boasts such compelling narratives, an exceptional ensemble, and a potent directorial vision from Dito Montiel. Following our separation from my former partner, Monica Bacardi, under less than ideal terms, this venture serves as a fresh start for me and my team.

I’m thrilled to share that a piece of our project will be based in Italy. It’s an honor for me, as it signifies another opportunity to highlight my nation and its exceptional talents on a global stage within a significant international production.

As a dedicated enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that “Captivated” is being brought to life by none other than Volition Media Partners in collaboration with the Andrea Iervolino Company. This esteemed team will be responsible for the Italian segments of the film production, as confirmed by the Andrea Iervolino Company statement.

In the production of “Captivated,” actor Michael Mammoliti, who is Saro Mammoliti’s nephew, is one of the key figures. Back in 2017, he shared with EbMaster that he’s been working diligently on a project for quite some time now. His motivation stems from his dissatisfaction with how his family was depicted in “All the Money in the World,” and he aims to present their perspective of the story.
