THE LAST QUEEN OF ITALY TV SERIES AND FILM ON QUEEN MARIE JOSE OF THE ROYAL HOUSE OF SAVOY

   THE LAST QUEEN OF ITALY  
SERIES ON MARIE JOSE OF SAVOY
We haven't seen any films on them, methinks, but the grandson of THE LAST QUEEN OF ITALY, prince Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia will team up with
Marie Jose of Belgium was the last queen of Italy
Chinese director Yi Zhou in producing a TV series and then also a film on his grandmother Queen Marie Jose known as ‘The May Queen’, as she reigned for just 35 days. She was known as a radical royal who helped try to topple Italy’s fascist leader Mussolini and pleaded with Hitler to help the Belgian people (her father was king of Belgium). She lived in exile for years and died in 2001 aged 94. The Royal House of Savoy TV series, set to shoot in Fall 2022, will depict the beginnings of Marie-José, the young maverick princess as she grows into an independent woman, then dutifully fulfills her destiny of wedding a handsome prince. After that, in 2023, the plan is to shoot a movie as well. 

DEZZY'S HISTORY LESSON
Following Italy's defection to the Allied side in the war, her discredited father-in-law, King Victor Emmanuel III, who supported the Nazis, withdrew from government. Her husband became acting monarch and Marie-José became
Marie Jose and Crown Prince Umberto of Italy at their wedding
Queen consort of Italy, and remained such until the monarchy was abolished by plebiscite, on 2 June 1946. During the war, as she did not agree with her father in law's politics, and she sympathised with the partisans, she was sent to Switzerland, but from there she smuggled weapons, money and food for Partisans.

MOZART TO BE DEPICTED AS A POLITICAL REBEL AND A REVOLUTIONARY IN A NEW MINI TV SERIES ON HIS LIFE!

     MOZART TV SERIES    
FROM DAS BOOT DIRECTOR
As Variety reports, Germany’s Goodfriends Filmproduktion and Austria’s Satel Film will produce a six episode TV series on MOZART to be directed by Andreas Prochaska. Set in the absolutist 18th century, it will
The series will shoot in authentic locations
tell a modern story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, not just the story of one of the most important musicians of mankind, but of a rebel and revolutionary who risked his life by openly opposing the nobility and the Emperor, Joseph II. Mozart was deeply affected by the ideas of the Enlightenment as they spread through Europe, climaxing in the French Revolution! In Austria, Joseph II initiated reforms in 1780, such as the abolition of serfdom, but these fell far short, with the nobility, after a furious push back against reform, retaining full ownership of land. In such a context, there was only one man who could stand up to the nobility and the Emperor, given he was so loved in Austria: Mozart. Satel Film, who recently had a hit with Freud series, will spend 19 million euro on this one.
