Seducing Ingrid Bergman is the next from YRF Entertainment

Uday Chopra and Grace of Monaco writer Arash Amel have joined forces yet again to produce the yet untold story of Ingrid Bergman, one of Hollywood’s legendary names. In this matter YRF Entertainment has gone in for Seducing Ingrid Bergman, a novel by Chris Greenhalgh that dramatizes the real-life affair between the actress and the war photographer Robert Capa. Arash Amel will adapt and produce the film with Uday Chopra, as they did together for Olivier Dahanhelmed Grace of Monaco that is to be released later this year by The Weinstein Company. Speaking about the new film Uday said, “There are certain untold stories which on hearing, one realises that not only is it a very moving story of a woman but it also seems to deliver a message which goes deeper than the life of just one woman. It seems to talk about all women through her, creating in her an icon.” He continues, “Ingrid Bergman was just such an icon and her romance with Robert Capa, the legendary war photographer, is a story that needs to be told. I believe that Arash Amel who also wrote Grace of Monaco is the perfect writer to bring this story to life and I'm very excited to have YRF Entertainment bring it to the world.” “In Seducing Ingrid Bergman, we have one of the greatest undiscovered love stories of the twentieth century. The epic, star-crossed romance of a real-life Casablanca between war photographer Robert Capa and screen legend Ingrid Bergman - two legendary figures whom destiny brought together but fate would try to keep apart, in a sweeping love affair from Paris to Hollywood during World War 2, the Cold War and Hollywood's darkest hour of the McCarthy witch-hunts,” he added. The script is near completion and other details will soon be revealed as and when the director and cast are locked.
