Pampinea (Angels and Virgins: formerly The Decameron) #2: Release Date!



*banner made by Sam*

Plotline:

Quote:
“A kissed mouth never loses its freshness. Like the moon, it always rises new again”. - Giovanni Boccaccio

GUILTY PLEASURES, a refreshing celebration of life in all its beauty, puts a modern spin on Giovanni Boccaccio’s classic work of Italian literature.

In the 14th century, Florence was a city of pure delight, sumptuously prosperous: a city of art and culture where people of all ages celebrated life to the full. But in 1346 life changed. The city was ravaged by a merciless plague known as ‘The Black Death’.

Lorenzo de Lamberti (Hayden Christensen) an innocent and adventurous young blood, finds himself on the wrong side of Gerbino de la Ratta (Tim Roth). De La Ratta’s wealth has been gleaned from his ability to live on both sides of the law; murder is part of his armoury and Lorenzo is his prime target. Lorenzo escapes from Florence and finds refuge working as a gardener in a convent.

Pampinea Anastagi (Mischa Barton) is the only daughter of a respected and wealthy family who suddenly finds herself alone. Gerbino de la Ratta, who has designs on both her body and wealth, subtly threatens to confiscate her home to pay off her father’s debts – then offers to marry her as an escape route from her imminent financial ruin. Pampinea counters that she has been betrothed to be married to a Russian count who is on his way to Florence from Novgorod.

Pampinea meets with a small group of friends and persuades them to escape Florence and travel to her family’s villa in the countryside to act as witness to her marriage to the Russian Count. The marriage will release her both from Gerbino’s unwanted attention and the threat of financial ruin.

As Pampinea’s friends escape Florence and embark on a series of adventures of their own, Pampinea retreats to a convent where from behind her nun’s veil – and after a secret kiss – she falls in love with Lorenzo. Lorenzo also falls in love, but does not know who has delivered the fatal heart-melting kiss.

The twists and turns of their love story and the adventures of their friends, finally lead to Pampinea’s villa, where all the dramatic and comic conflicts and confusions of the numerous relationships finally come together and are resolved in a celebration of love and life in all their glory.

Writer/director David Leland´s modern interpretation of Giovanni Boccaccio´s classic work is a stimulating and erotic story of innocence, love, sex and lasting friendship. As these friends make their way through the Tuscan landscape they discover life through the tragedy and danger they left behind. It is a timeless tale full of irreverence and humour - rich with passion and sexuality – and has a unique vision and dramatic style of its own.
Mischa comments on her character:

Quote:
"The Catholic Church was very controlling at the time, so a lot of it is about that," Barton says. "My character, Pampinea, is the good girl who falls in love with the boy she's not supposed to marry. She's a very strong character, so she ends up going for what she wants."
This movie has gone through several title changes and is set to be released in January 2007. Link to IMDB page

Merged an older thread with Liz's new thread to help clean up the board!

i heard she's already in italy, the movie is in pre-production. I think they're really going to destroy this book, it's a classic, it's history. And mischa is not old enough, sophicasted enough to play 27 year old pampinea. i think she's better playing the naive girl

even if the acting is good which i doubt, i think the script will sucks. A lot of book adaptation now sucks, and a history book too, which will be harder do will definitely suck.

Well, I think she can pull it off, but I am biased.

Yeah, there's some massive Mischa-Haters. But luckily we adore her.

I think that people is talking a lot and the filming hasn't even started yet.
You never know what it's going to be like. Both Mischa and Hayden are very good actors and I think they will do a great job. People is just mean and talks awful things about Mischa but she is successful so it doesn't matter.
In the pictures she looks amazing, I love her looks.

I know! I hate Haters! Why do people spend so much time picking apart people they don't even like? I for one only like talking about people I do like.

I think Mischa will be able to pull it off.
