Acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese will soon be seen playing Italian poet Dante Alighieri바카라™s mentor in Julian Schnabel바카라™s upcoming film 'In the Hand of Dante'.

Martin has a small but an impactful role. He will be playing an elderly sage who influenced Alighieri while he is writing 'The Divine Comedy' in Julian Schnabel바카라™s crime mystery 'In the Hands of Dante', reports variety.com.

Martin, who will be honoured with Berlin Film Festival바카라˜s honorary Golden Bear, has made a special appearance in several films by him and has often performed in movies by other makers.

He essayed Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh in a segment of Akira Kurosawa바카라™s 1990 film 'Dreams' and also performed as voice talent as the loan shark pufferfish in 'Shark Tale'.

'In The Hand of Dante' also has British musician and actor Benjamin Clementine, who along with contributing to the film바카라™s score will be playing a quintessentially grey character who seesaws between past and present.

Others in the cast comprise John Malkovich and Louis Cancelmi, who plays both a present-day hitman named Lefty and nobleman Guido da Polenta, who was Dante바카라™s benefactor.

The film was shot largely in Italy including breath-taking locations such as Sicily, Venice, Verona, Rome and Viterbo.
