More importantly, it marks a return to cinema for director Sergio Martino; the very same Sergio Martino who gave us treats such as <b>Next<\/b>, <b>The Case of the Scorpion&#8217;s Tail<\/b>, <b>Mountain of the cannibal God <\/b>and so on.  Sergio, who&#8217;s 70 this year, has kept himself busy on television in recent years, but his last feature film was 1999s little seen <b>Mozart was a Murderer.  <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>L&#8217;allenatore nel pallone 2 <\/b>is a sequel to the 1984 film, made by Banfi and Martino, and God knows why they decided to follow it up some 24 years later.  It&#8217;s a football comedy, with Banfi as a hapless manager, and features a number of famed soccer stars (Alessandro Del Piero, Gennaro Gattuso, Francesco Totti).  I can&#8217;t really imagine that it will make it to the international markets, but it&#8217;s nice to see Martino&#8217;s still having some success (it made just under 3.6 million from 510 screens), so all power to it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, the first big Italian homegrown box office success of 2008 boasts a handful of extremely familiar names for any afficionado of Italian genre&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.thewildeye.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
