Jessica Biel and Luke Evans are in final negotiations to topline Vivaldi, a period romance being produced by Raffaella De Laurentiis, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Patricia Riggen (Under the Same Moon) will direct from a script by Kevin Lund and T.J. Scott.
The film centers on a forbidden romance that develops between composer, priest and violin virtuoso Antonio Vivaldi and his protege, singer Anna Tessieri Giro, leading him to write his enduring masterpiece “The Four Seasons.”
