Hannibal to Play the Pope?

Silence of the Lambs legend Anthony Hopkins is currently in talks with Irish Director Damien O'Donnell to star in his latest movie.

The movie called Edgardo Mortara is next on the cards for Dubliner O'Donnell who made his name on the budget hit movie East is East.

According to Variety the film is set in June 1858, Edgardo Mortara is a drama based on the true story of how police in Bologna, Italy, tore a 6-year-old Jewish boy away from his parents.

According to the police, he had been secretly baptized by a Gentile servant girl years before. He was removed from his family in accordance with a law forbidding Christian children from being raised by Jews.

This began his strange odyssey, which had powerful consequences for the future of both the Italian nation and the Catholic Church. Apparently the Pope, who maybe played by Hopkins, adopted the boy himself.

The script was written by Rob Eshman, with revisions by Jeremy Brock (Charlotte Gray).
