Italian actors Riccardo Scamarcio, Isabella Ferrari and Sergio Rubini are in talks to join Woody Allen's latest film set in Rome with the working title of "Bop Decameron."
According to Variety, the cast includes Jesse Eisenberg, Ellen Page, Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin and Judy Davis.
Allen will also act in the film, his first appearance since 2006's "Scoop."
Roberto Benigni is also close to joining the film.
The film will be set in present-day Rome but is inspired by Giovanni Boccaccio's "The Decameron," a classic medieval collection of 100 crude novellas written in the 1350s.
There will be four separate, non-intersecting vignettes with two involving American characters and two involving Italian characters.
Shooting begins July 11 in Rome.
Letty Aronson is producing with Stephen Tenenbaum and Helen Robin.
Allen's current film, "Midnight in Paris," opened at the Cannes Film Festival and is now playing.
