What happens

My Name Is Thomas (Italian: Il mio nome è Thomas or La chiamavano Maryam) is a 2018 Italian drama film directed by Terence Hill and starring Hill alongside Matt Patresi, Eva Basteiro-Bertoli, Veronica Bitto and Guia Jelo. The film is the return of Terence Hill since he appeared in Doc West (2009). It is produced by Luisa Tonon and Jess Hill, Terence's son, and distributed by Lux Vide, the same distributor of Don Matteo. The film is dedicated to Bud Spencer when, on 27 June 2016, before the end of the shooting of the film, Spencer died. It was released on 19 April 2018. The title appears to be a reference to a book of the same name by Mary Fabyan Windeatt, who shares certain common traits with the young heroine of the film. Film was presented on 8 December 2016 in the program Rischiatutto, conducted by Fabio Fazio, where Terence Hill showed the trailer. In March 2018 was announced the final release of the film on 19 April. It was shot in Almería in locations as parque de las Almadrabillas, port of Almeria, Cable Inglés, Tabernas and Pescadería. It includes many references to the "Fazzuli Western", including a pub brawl where the only thing missing from 1970 is Bud Spencer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
