Disgustingly gorgeous and repusively talented Italian actor Luca Marinelli is the star of Atonement and Hanna director Joe Wright's upcoming Benito Mussolini eight-part miniseries Mussolini: Son of the Century, and it looks like he subsumed the former (his handsomeness) to serve the latter (his performance) if the below trailer's anything to go by -- if this wasn't a series I'd say this was red meat for Oscar voters so we'll have to see if this is too arty and out there for the Emmys. "Arty and out there" is my bread and butter though so if I have to take an uglied up Luca for eight hours while he acts the shit out of a role I suppose I'll manage. I can always go watch Martin Eden or The Eight Mountains or go stroll through our archives of photoshoots of him if need be. Anyway this looks absolutely glorious, which is no less than I'd expect from Wright. Watch:
Mussolini: Son of the Century drops on Mubi on September 10th!
