Mischa Barton in The Decameron
Mischa Barton (“The O.C.”) is in negotiations to star in “The Decameron”, Dino De Laurentiis’ adaptation of the 14th century literary classic.
Barton, who has been at work on the dark indie “The OH in Ohio”, would play Pampinea in the period piece about a group of young Florentines who take refuge in the Italian countryside, amusing one another with stories of love and adventure, as the black plague devastates the city.
The film is likely to shoot next year in Florence and Rome. David Leland is adapting Giovanni Boccaccio’s story and also will direct.
Barton’s other feature credits include M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Sixth Sense”, “Lost and Delirious” and “Lawn Dogs”.
