King of Prussia businessman J. Eustace Wolfington wanted to make a movie to capture who Francesca Cabrini was: 'a woman who didn’t take ‘no’ for an answer.'
A Main Line patriarch raised $50 million to make ‘Cabrini,’ the new movie about a relentless Italian American nun
“They wanted to make her a fairy tale,” Wolfington said, shaking his head in a theater seat at the Regal UA multiplex ahead of the red-carpet premiere. Hundreds of guests, including the movie’s directors and several lead actors, were also there.“I had to make a better movie — to capture who she was, a woman who didn’t take ‘no’ for an answer, not from the pope, not from her archbishop, not from the mayor of New York or the head of the Senate in Italy,” he said.
“We talked to all the majors — Universal, Disney, Apple, Amazon,” Wolfington said. “Everyone loves this movie. But I didn’t feel they knew how to market it. Angel knows.”
