One, South Kensington, is an Italian film in which Everett will play a member of the British aristocracy forced to take in boarders at his upscale residence due to the his father's squandering of the family fortune. Everetts character will be the link between the tangled stories of love and friendship involving young Italians and other Europeans living in London for work or study. The second film is the upcoming adaptation of Oscar Wildes The Importance of Being Earnest. Oliver Parker will be directing this tale of mistaken identities and misplaced luggage. The film is the first to be shot under the Ealing Studios banner since 1957.
