Pic will revisit Ferrara's cult cop pic "Bad Lieutenant," according to producer Umberto Massa, who is shepherding the $4 million feature.
Italian author Giuseppe Farrandino's "Pericle il nero" made Italy's bestseller list in 1999 and was also well-received in France.
Cast is being finalized but will feature Italian and U.S. stars, according to Massa. Pic's language is still being decided.
Bronx-born Ferrara has been living in Rome, where he recently wrapped screwball comedy "Go-Go Tales," starring Willem Dafoe, Bob Hoskins, Matthew Modine and Asia Argento.
