Italian Producer Andrea Iervolino Parts Ways With Business Partner Monika Bacardi to Launch New Solo Outfit
variety.comNick Vivarelli International Correspondent Italian producer Andrea Iervolino — whose credits include Michael Mann’s “Ferrari,” the Johnny Depp-starrer “Waiting for the Barbarians” and “Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend” — has parted ways with business partner Monika Bacardi and is launching a new film and TV outfit called The Andrea Iervolino Company.
Iervolino and Bacardi were partners in ILBE, the studio they co-founded and jointly ran for 13 years. “With the launch of TAIC, Iervolino has stepped down as president and CEO of ILBE, the studio he co-founded and ran for the last decade, to focus on TAIC,” Iervolino said in a statement. “He will remain available in a non-exclusive capacity to assist ILBE with the transition of a new CEO.” No reason for the apparent falling out between Iervolino and Bacardi was provided in the statement.
Recent films produced by Iervolino while at ILBE include the Depp-directed “Modi – Three Days on the Wings of Madness” starring Al Pacino; Jean-Claude Van Damme’s franchise sequel “Kill ‘Em All 2”; and the thriller “Find Your Friends” starring Helena Howard, Bella Thorne, Zion Moreno, Chloe Cherry and Sophia Ali.
TAIC’s upcoming projects include a Maserati family biopic written and directed by Bobby Moresco, and the film “Ferrari vs. Mercedes,” also to be directed by Moresco.
