Kevin Spacey has been nominated twice for an Oscar for American Beauty in 1999 and before that for his role as Roger 'Verbal' Kint in Bryan Singer's The Usual Suspects.

Based on a screenplay by Jim Agnew and Sean Keller, Giallo sees Emmanuelle Seigner take the role of a flight attendant (once assigned to Dario's daughter Asia) who pairs with the detective (Brody) on a race against time to save her sister, a super model (Elsa Pataky), from a serial killer who has snatched her.THR reports that the picture will be produced by Rafael Primorac and Richard Rionda Del Castro. Production is set to start May 12 in Torino, Italy.

Adrien Brody, Emmanuelle Seigner and Elsa Pataky have signed on to star in Giallo, the latest thriller from Italian horrormeister Dario Argento.
Giallo revolves around an American flight attendant who teams with an Italian investigator to search for her missing sister who has been abducted by a serial killer known only as Yellow.
The term "giallo" means "yellow" in Italian and also refers to the Italian pulp, horror and erotic genre of film and literature. Argento has built his name with movies that combine horror and eroticism such as 1977's Suspiria and last year's The Mother of Tears.
Giallo might mark the first time an actor of Brody's caliber has starred in an Argento film.
The film, from a screenplay by Jim Agnew and Sean Keller, will be produced by Rafael Primorac and Richard Rionda Del Castro.
Production is set to start May 12 in Torino, Italy, with postproduction work done in Los Angeles.
