Alberto Colombo, the very Milanese director of a post office who moved to the South to Castellabbate, could return to the big screen together with the postman Mattia and all the merry company. 13 years after the release of welcome to the South and 11 from the sequel Welcome to the NorthIndeed, Claudio Bisio (who played the fake invalid director Colombo) e Alessandro Siani (the postman Mattia) make it known that they are ready to shoot the third chapter, which could be called Welcome back to the South, 15 years later.
The confirmation comes from Siani, who a Fanpage.it he made it clear that he and Bisio are seriously thinking about the third episode of the successful comedy. And he explains to the online newspaper that “we have finally shared an idea that seems fun to us and above all that creates food for thought.” Even though many years have passed since the film’s release, «incredibly welcome to the South it still has its life, magically still lives in the hearts of many Italians». But now that the protagonists are available, it’s up to screenwriters and producers “to lend a hand to making this dream come true”.
Also because, if the desire to make the film is there, and there is a rough idea of ​​the story to be told, what is missing is a screenplay. Claudio Bisio also explained it a couple of days ago basement_bsmt, the podcast on TikTok by host Gianluca Gazzoli: «We are thinking of a Welcome back to the South. There’s no script or anything yet, and Alessandro and I have taken different paths, we’re not a couple. However it seemed to us that it might be the right time to think again. There are two questions: one, if we haven’t already said everything about North and South: food, dialectics, forks, black pudding… It’s impossible to redo some of the gags we’ve done, precisely because it’s a film seen by generations. . Second question, how much has changed in recent years, and how much sense does it make to make fun of that thing”, that is, the differences between North and South, between Milan and Castellabbate.
But now that the die has been cast, and that the director and his postman are ready to return to the big screen, you can bet that the idea will attract a lot of attention.
