At a press conference for "Perfect Strangers", actor Giovanni Ribisi revealed that he has been cast as a young Albert Einstein in an upcoming biopic to be helmed by Italian director Liliana Cavani.

"It's great and the script is really great, and I'm really excited about it" says Ribisi, who says that shooting will begn "in July, I think, and there's another movie called The Stanford Prison Experiment after that."

The story starts with the blossoming of his relationship with his first wife, Mileva Maric through to his death. The role of Mileva has yet to be cast. Italy, Barcelona and Princeton will be used for filming.
