Company launched last September is also producing upcoming pictures from Gabriela Tagliavini and Marco Risi.

Fledgling production and film finance group AMBI Pictures has revealed first images for its upcoming sci-fi film Sights of Death starring Danny Glover, Daryl Hannah, Rutger Hauer, Stephen Baldwin and Michael Madsen.

The production, directed by Alessandro Capone, has just wrapped its shoot in Rome.

Set against the backdrop of 2047, the film pits Baldwin and Glover as rebels against Hauer, Anderson and Madsen as the unscrupulous military personnel of a tyrannical central confederate government.

This is AMBI’s first trip to the EFM. The Rome-based company was founded last September by Italian-Canadian producer Andrea Iervolino and Monika Bacardi with the aim of making three to four films a year, involving local and international talent and at varying budgets.

Iervolino, 25, who entered the film business in his teens, formerly operated under the Iervolino Entertainment banner until it was rolled into AMBI last year. Business woman Bacardi is the widow of Lord Luis Bacardi, one of the heirs of the family-run drinks business.

Other upcoming productions on the company’s slate include Devil May Care and In Limbo, both to be directed by Ladies’ Night film-maker Gabriela Tagliavini, and Marco Risi’s low-budget Tre Tocchi

Tre Tocchi is currently in post-production and is inspired by a real-life football team, made up of actors and filmmakers, which was founded by Pier Paolo Pasolini in the 1970s.

AMBI is handling international sales on its pictures.
