Get ready to swoon because Hollywood favorites Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page are teaming up for a brand-new romantic comedy, Italianna! While the storyline is still under wraps, it’s already promising to be full of charm, chemistry, and those heart-fluttering moments we all love.
The film, produced by Universal Pictures, will be directed by Kat Coiro, with a screenplay by Ryan Engle—based on an original idea from him and Kristin Engle. With this combo of talent, it’s safe to say we’re in for something special.
Halle Bailey, who wowed audiences as Ariel in Disney’s The Little Mermaid (2023), has been making big waves in Hollywood. She also shined in Warner Bros’ reimagined The Color Purple. Plus, she just turned 25, and what better way to celebrate than with exciting career news?
On the other hand, Regé-Jean Page stole hearts worldwide as the dashing Duke in Bridgerton, earning both Emmy and SAG Award nominations. His career hasn’t slowed down since, as he’s now starring alongside Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett in Steven Soderbergh’s thriller Black Bag.
