It seems pretty certain that Prince of Providence will begin filming this summer:
Meanwhile, Michael Corrente continues pulling together a cast for his screen version of Journal reporter Mike Stanton’s opus on former Providence Mayor Vincent A. Cianci Jr., The Prince of Providence. Corrente said he hopes to make a major announcement about the film later this month.
The project has been in pre-production for a few years, with occasional bulletins from Corrente about various actors interested in playing Cianci, including Russell Crowe and Nicolas Cage. Corrente would not confirm the names of anyone he has signed or is in the process of signing for the film, but said he “has applied for the Rhode Island tax credit” and hopes to begin production in the state this summer.
But does anybody know if there’s truth to that rumor that Robin Williams will be playing a big part?
