Steve Harrington, only son of celebrated director Dick Harrington and his wife, Hollywood starlet Ada Bellini, is set to star in his first film this summer — a remake of Dick Harrington’s 1965 classic Longing for Narcissus. The remake comes only a few years after the long-awaited sequel, Sunrise on Persephone, also starring Bellini.
Harrington describes the remake as “an homage to [his] late father,” and is the first film the family has worked on since Dick Harrington’s tragic passing only months after the sequel’s release.
“I wish I could’ve worked with him before he died,” Harrington said in an interview. “My mother and I want to make something he would be proud of.”
The remake stands to be Bellini’s directorial debut, though sources say she may also have an acting role.
Clean versions & info under the cut:
AU where Steve’s dad dies before the events of season 1, and as a result he and his mother start spending more time together (now that Dick’s not around to drag Ada all over the world to film his ‘masterpieces’ and insist Steve has to stay home alone). They decide as a final “fuck you” to remake his dad’s magnum opus: Longing for Narcissus, the movie that made him famous and where he met Steve’s mother. They pitch it as an homage, of course, but with Steve in the main role and his mom as the director, they both know he’s rolling in his grave.
