'Art of Love' lures quartet of actors

LOS ANGELES  - Olympia Dukakis, Virginia Madsen, Aidan Quinn and Zosia Mamet are set to star in the fantasy teenage romance "The Art of Love."

Dukakis and Madsen will play the last survivors of an ancient line of goddess worshippers, who sell art at a shop run by Madsen's husband (Quinn). When their teenage daughter, Rhea (Mamet), falls in love with a poetically inclined boy (Sam Underwood), she begins to develop magical powers of her own.

Directed by Maggie Greenwald ("Songcatcher"), written by Peter Hutchings and Christina Mengert and based on a story by Claude Dal Farra, "Love" is a BCDF Pictures production that begins filming this week in Woodstock, N.Y.
