Firefly and Bla Bla Bla Productions are teaming on the $10 million Depression-era romantic drama "Come Back To Sorrento" says The Hollywood Reporter.
David Mamet ("Wag the Dog," "State and Main") adapted the script from Dawn Powell's novel about a music teacher with a mysterious past. The teacher finds more than he expected when he travels to a small town in Ohio to teach music and comes to love a housewife seeking a long-forgotten dream.
