Rutger Hauer Is A Former Italian Film Star in IL FUTURO Trailer
Posted by Stephen Lambrechts
Alicia Scherson's new film IL FUTURO has elements of a world that is very close to my heart; that is the world of Italian Cinema, in particular, of the exploitation variety.
Rutger Hauer plays Maciste, a former Mr. Universe and star of heroic Italian epics who is now blind and lives a lonely existence; that is until Bianca (Manuella Martelli) enters his life. Bianca and her brother are there to exploit and rob Maciste using Bianca's sexuality, but will they be able to do it once they get to know him and maybe even learn a thing or two from him?
Having recently visited the famous Cinecitta Film Studios in Rome, much of the content in this trailer appeals to me quite a bit. The films seems to take place there a lot, using several of its backlot sets and even showing the studio itself as a location. Add to that the promise of several other Roman locations, and plenty of eroticism and nudity, and it looks like Scherson and Co. have found themselves a winning formula (at least in my eyes)!
