Does anyone know if this project is still ongoing or abandoned ?
Guiseppe Tornatore was supposed to have directed the film with music by Ennio Morricone.
Sergio Leone had it lined up before his untimely death in 1989.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I remember looking forward to a foreign film about the battle of Stalingrad, called "Stalingrad," a few years ago, and it wound up not being released, or else disappointing at the box office.

Impressive-looking trailer, but apparently they saved all the good shots for the trailer and the rest was a disappointment.




Actually, I think this is the trailer I saw:



Looks like there was also a WWII film about Leningrad with Mira Sorvino, (AKA "Attack on Leningrad") but no Morricone project I know of. "Stalingrad" had music by Badalamenti.

Both films are available on DVD at Amazon.

Your improper coding of the second youtube link causes the page not to display on the second video down.
