Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa and Gerard Butler have signed on to star in the upcoming crime thriller "In the Hand of Dante", which will be directed by Oscar-nominated helmer Julian Schnabel ("The Diving Bell and the Butterfly") and produced by Martin Scorsese. The production has landed a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement, which allows it to film during the actors strike.
The film is based on the novel by Nick Tosches and it follows the story of the original manuscript for "The Divine Comedy" emerging in the clutches of a black-market smuggling ring in the dangerous underbelly of New York City, and weary scholar Nick is called by the mob to authenticate it.
Overwhelmed by temptation, Nick defies the mafia and steals the manuscript in a frenzied bid to have it all. He follows a dark and violent path from a metaphorical Hell into Paradise with his love Giulietta, while a parallel tale unfolds: the odyssey of Dante himself, a man who is trapped in a loveless marriage with Gemma and bolstered only by his mentorship under an austere intellectual. He escapes to Sicily and creates his greatest work, immortalizing his lost love, Beatrice.
Filming is currently underway in Italy. Producers include Jon Kilik, Francesco Melzi d'eril for MeMo Films and Olmo Schnabel for TWIN Productions. Scorsese will executive produce alongside DreamCrew, Screen Capital/Screen One and Tribune Pictures, with Isaac, through his production company Mad Gene Media, and Schnabel also executive producing.
