Paul Giamatti will be headlining the indie drama “Barney’s Version,” based on Mordecai Richler’s final novel, with Robert Lantos producing via Serendipity Point. Richard J. Lewis will direct based off of a script by Michael Konyves. Domenico Procacci, Lyse Lafontain, and Ari Lantos are co-producing. “Barney’s Version” will be a co-production between Serendipity Point Films and Italy’s Fandango.

The story focuses on the title character and his life of recklessness, failed marriages, and being a “person of interest” in the mysterious disappearance of his once-closest friend.

Giamatti was last seen in “Duplicity” alongside Julia Roberts and Clive Owen.
