Liev Schreiber films Across The River And Into The Trees in Venice 

He is currently spending time in Italy, where he’s shooting his upcoming movie Across The River And Into The Trees amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

Liev Schreiber was again spotted hard at work as he was spotted donning military uniform as they filmed in Venice on Thursday.

The Ray Donovan actor, 53, looked dashing as he paced the streets in costume while puffing a cigarette during yet another day on set. 

Their upcoming movie is adapted from a 1950 Ernest Hemingway novel of the same name that is set in Italy as World War II winds down.

Liev has been cast in the role of a terminally ill middle-aged U.S. serviceman, Colonel Richard Cantwell, who falls in love with an 18-year-old Italian contessa called Renata.

Renata is played by Italian actress Matilda De Angelis who can be seen on the HBO mini-series The Undoing with Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman.  

Meanwhile Josh Hutcherson is playing Jackson, who is also in the American military and is Richard’s driver on a duck shoot that forms the framing device of the book.

Four years ago The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Pierce Brosnan would play the lead role with his GoldenEye director Martin Campbell at the helm.

However the current director is Spanish filmmaker Paula Ortiz and this September it emerged in Deadline that Liev was to play the colonel.

Liev has been spending time in the picturesque city with his 27-year-old girlfriend Taylor Neisen, with whom he has been seen enjoying romantic outings.  

The couple have been going strong ever since they started dating in 2017, following his divorce from Naomi Watts.

Screen star Liev was married to the actress, 52, for 11 years and the couple share two children Sasha, 13, and Kai, 11. 

They split in September 2016 and have been very verbal in remaining friends in the years following their break-up.
