The family of Italian director Federico Fellini has sanctioned a remake of his classic film “La Dolce Vita”, 55 years after the original hit the screens. The Rome-based film company AMBI Pictures said in a statement they had signed a deal to produce what they called “a homage” to “La Dolce Vita”, which was shot in black and white and starred Marcello Mastroianni, Anita Ekberg and Anouk Aimee. AMBI owners Andrea Iervolino and Monika Bacardi said, “Our vision is of a contemporary story every bit as commercial, iconic and award-worthy as the original.”
