Darren Criss Talks Filming New Movie 'Smitten!' In Italy

Darren Criss tries to balance his award on just one finger on the press line at the 2015 Giffoni Film Festival on Friday afternoon (July 24) in Giffoni Valle Piana, Italy.

The 28-year-old actor took some time out from filming his new movie, Smitten!, for the annual ceremony where he received the Experience Award.

“I can not say much of the film. I started shooting a week ago, but I think it’s a story very nice. It’s very exciting and I especially like the idea of ??going around Italy,” Darren shared of the film. “It’s beautiful landscapes are like candy for the Americans.”

Smitten! is described as “an enchanted fable, a caper with four romances, centering around a young American fashion executive (Criss) who gets kidnapped and taken into the alpine mountains by three bumbling members of the mafia.”
