at least that's one hell of a cast (not really Sicilian though, I believe McKellen and McGregor are true Brittish... Ricci sounds Italian to me but if she really can speak Italian or anything, I don't know). Malkovich doesn't sound Italian too, but he played Tom Ripley, who I thought was an Englishman in Italy so..

In Imdb.com I found out that "Borgia" will come out somewhere in 2003, and Jean Reno is starring as well!
