Movie announces new biography of Antonio Vivaldi, directed by an Academy Award-winning director

In the world of music biopics, Antonio Vivaldi's life story has been a long-awaited addition. After 20 years in development, the biopic about the Italian violinist and composer is finally taking shape, with John Ottman at the helm.

John Ottman, a renowned figure in the film industry, is known for his work as an editor, composer, director, and producer. He made a significant impact with his work on the biopic Bohemian Rhapsody in 2018, where he managed to bring the story of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury to life.

The Vivaldi biopic, written by Kevin Lund and T.J. Scott, has been passed around the industry, searching for the right creative team to bring it to life. It was David Franco who initially brought the script to John Ottman's attention in 2018. Since then, Ottman has worked diligently to breathe new life into the project, turning it into a reality.

Vivaldi's most famous work, his Four Seasons violin concertos, have remained some of the most enduring works of classical music with huge popular appeal. The biopic is expected to bring Venice's greatest musical export to the silver screen, offering audiences a deeper understanding of the man behind the music.

While Ottman's role in the project is clear, the specifics of the production team remain undisclosed, with only John Ottman and David Franco confirmed so far. Hollywood, however, is eagerly waiting to see if Ottman will also compose the score for the film, given his extensive career as a film composer.

Meanwhile, another musical biopic is making waves in the industry. Angelina Jolie is set to star as legendary opera singer Maria Callas in an upcoming biopic. Bradley Cooper's film about Leonard Bernstein's life, titled "Maestro", was one of the most talked-about films of 2023.

As the Vivaldi biopic moves forward, audiences eagerly await the opportunity to delve into the life of this influential composer and appreciate his music in a new light.
