In “Something New,” which segues from Genovese’s 2025 hit concept movie “Madly,” the lives of six people intersect amid the chaos of everyday life in Milan. Each of the film’s characters is in search of their own “perfect noise,” says the synopsis, a signal to follow “rather than surrender to emotional numbness.”

They cross paths “through humiliations, small acts of kindness, and buried desires, until a chance encounter between Viola and Andrea sparks the possibility of a second chance, setting off a chain of events that unsettles all their lives,” the synopsis adds.

Genovese’s “Perfect Strangers,” which came out in 2016 and was sold internationally by Medusa, holds the Guinness Book of World Records title for the most remade movie in cinema history, having spawned remakes in 24 territories including France, Germany, Spain, Greece and South Korea. According to Leone, these remakes have grossed some $400 million.
