Italian director to make film about Silvio Berlusconi

Italian director Paolo Sorrentino will shoot a drama about former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, reports Variety.

The film, expected to be titled "Loro," looks to start shooting in the summer of 2017. It will delve into Berlosconi's life as well as his inner circle.

Sorrentino recently finished the 10-part TV series "The Young Pope," starring Jude Law, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday.

Berlusconi served as Italy's prime minister in four governments, making him the country's longest serving post-war leader.
