The script, titled "Sixty-four minutes with Rebecka", was
written in 1969 but the collaboration between the legendary
three directors fell through. The script was shelved until the
early 2000s when Bergman donated his collection to a foundation
set up to preserve and honor his work.
Many of Bergman's scripts were never filmed but "Sixty-four
Minutes with Rebecka" had remained unknown even for the most
confirmed of connoisseurs, according to the Bergman Institute.
The script will premiere as a radio play on Nov. 6 before being
filmed. The movie premiere is planned for 2018, 100 years after
Bergman's birth, Dagens Nyheter wrote.
Bergman, who influenced a generation of filmmakers with his
often stark works about mortality and sexual torment, including
"Wild Strawberries", "Cries and Whispers" and "Fanny and
Alexander", died in 2007.
