‘Mulan’ Director Niki Caro to Helm ‘Beautiful Ruins’ for Amblin Partners (Exclusive)Amblin Partners has closed a deal with Niki Caro to direct “Beautiful Ruins,” sources tell Variety.

The story is set in an Italian seaside village in 1962, where a charming young man runs a hotel with no guests, until one day an American starlet, fresh from the set of “Cleopatra,” appears and captures his heart.
