Suzanne Corso with Olympia Dukakis

Corso's new Brooklyn Story is the coming-of-age tale of Samantha Bonti, an Italian Jew who meets a would-be gangster named Tony while a teen in 1978 Bensonhurst. The subject matter has, perhaps unsurprisingly, attracted actors Lorraine Bracco and Dukakis, both of whom may be involved with the upcoming film adaptation.
