Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn may wind up portraying legendary physicist Albert Einstein for a joint U.S.-Italian TV film production. Penn, 46, is reportedly interested in working with writer/director Liliana Cavani, the Italian news agency ANSA reported Tuesday. The project is a joint effort between the U.S. premium cable TV network HBO and Italy’s RAI state broadcaster, ANSA said. An RAI spokesman said Penn appears enthusiastic about the project. "He’s read the screenplay and he likes it," RAI’s Agostino Sacca told ANSA. Penn’s latest film, "All the Kings Men," opens Friday in U.S. theaters.
