Joseph Fiennes will star as Antonio Vivaldi in a biopic to be directed by Boris Damast. Lena Headey, Malcolm McDowell, Jacqueline Bisset and Zuleikha Robinson also join the cast which will be directed by Boris Damast from a script by Steven Freedman. Freedman has spent more than two decades researching Vivaldi, whose most famous composition is "The Four Seasons." The pic follows the composer as a young priest assigned to serve as music master of a school for the abandoned, illegitimate daughters of Venice's courtesans. He bonds with the girls, which leads to his landing a concert of his music before the pope. [Variety]
