Isla Fisher & Blake Ritson Join Al Pacino In John Paul Getty III Kidnapping Pic ‘Captivated’

Isla Fisher, Blake Ritson and Jackson Kelly have joined Al Pacino in *Captivated*, a thriller based on the 1973 kidnapping of John Paul Getty III. Directed by Dito Montiel, the film is being shot in Calabria and Rome and promises a new perspective on a story previously adapted for film and television.

The production is set in 1970s Italy, with producer and co-writer Michael Mammoliti saying his family has a direct connection to the events and that he grew up with a different understanding of them. Andrea Bucko said the project had been in development for a decade. Voltage Pictures is handling international sales, while CAA Media Finance and WME are handling domestic distribution.
