The film is a Belgian-Italian-Dutch-Bulgarian-Armenian co-production.
US actor Geraldine Chaplin and the Netherlands’ Jonas Smulders have joined the cast of US-Belgian filmmaker Jessica Woodworth’s drama Fortress.
Filming on the drama got underway this week in Sicily, and will run until October 5.
Woodworth has written the screenplay for the film, adapted from Dino Buzzati’s 1940 Italian novel The Tartar Steppe. It is about a young solder, hungry for battle, who embeds himself in an isolated fort where men wait in vain for an enemy to strike.
Woodworth is also producing with Peter Brosens for Belgium’s Bo Films and Krater Films.
