James Gandolfini, Kristen Stewart in Jake Scott's Welcome to the Rileys The Milan International Film Festival (not to be confused with the Milano Film Festival) is no longer an actual film festival. In the last two years, it has remade itself into a small-time marketing effort for independent (often Us-made) films. Their chief promotional tools are the Miff Awards, whose winners have been announced this week. Kristen Stewart was the Leonardo [Da Vinci]'s Horse recipient for Best Actress for her performance as a pole dancer/prostitute in Jake Scott's Welcome the Rileys. Stewart's victory is clearly a case of the performer bringing recognition to the award, and not vice-versa. Other winners included Career Award-recipient Maurizio Totti, the producer of several Gabriele Salvatores films; Best Director Nadia Tass for Matching Jack; and Best Actor Aidan Gillen for Treacle Jr. The Best Picture winner will be selected by audience members following...

ROME -- Italian director Gabriele Salvatores has optioned rights to the novel La Scala di Dionisio (Dionysus' Staircase) by Italian author Luca di Fulvio for his next project. Described by Salvatores (Mediterraneo, Nirvana) and producing partner Maurizio Totti of Colorado Films as a period sci-fi thriller in the vein of Blade Runner, the story is set in London on New Year's Eve 1899. Investigator Germinal Milton, while battling his own chemical dependencies, is called into action on the eve of the millennium after a serial killer unleashes his instincts on the wives of a number of rich businessmen. The novel was published by Mondadori and Colorado Noir, the publishing arm of Colorado films, and will be adapted by Salvatores and Carla Vangelista. Salvatores' most recent project, Quo Vadis Baby?, has earned 1.7 million ($2 million) and has been in the top 10 at the Italian boxoffice since its release six weeks ago. No casting has been set for the film, which will be shot in English. Totti said he is eyeing a budget of 30 million ($36 million).
