Liam Neeson looks set to star in a biopic of Pope John Paul II, for the Italian television station Rai. Production for the film began last summer, but producers have been working on the project for the past three years after promising not to Air anything until after the Pope had passed away. According to the producers, the mini-series will reveal the details of the late pontiff's life, beginning with the 1981 attempt on his life. Liam Neeson is known for his work in the films Schindler's List and Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. |
