The Hand of God (Template:Lang-it) is an upcoming Italian drama film written, directed, and produced by Paolo Sorrentino. It stars Toni Servillo, and is set to be released on Netflix in 2021.[1]

Cast

Production

In July 2020, it was announced Paolo Sorrentino would write, direct, and produce the film, with Netflix attached to distribute.[2] In September 2020, Toni Servillo joined the cast of the film, with principal photography commencing that same month, in Naples, Italy.[3]

Lawsuit

In July 2020, a lawyer for Diego Maradona stated he was exploring legal action against the film for its title, as it is a reference to Maradona's 1986 FIFA World Cup goal against England, and use of Maradona's image was not authorized. However, Netflix stated the film is not a sports film or about Maradona and instead a personal story inspired by Sorrentino's youth.[4]
