Netflix is getting ready to film a new romantic movie called Positano. The film will star Matthew McConaughey and Zoe Saldaña. Filming is planned to begin in May 2026 in Italy.
The movie will be shot in the beautiful town of Positano, located on the Amalfi Coast. This location is famous for its colorful houses, sea views, and romantic feel, making it a perfect place for a love story.
According to Deadline, Positano is a Netflix Original romantic-comedy. The film will be directed by Daniel Roher, who is known for award-winning work.

So far, Netflix has kept the story details secret. What is known is that the film will follow a romance caper, meaning a love story filled with fun twists and surprises. The Italian setting will play a big role in the movie’s mood and style.
This project is special because it marks the first time Matthew McConaughey and Zoe Saldaña will work together. McConaughey has recently returned to on-screen roles after doing voice work, while Saldaña continues to appear in major films and series.
Zoe Saldaña is also known for her role as Neytiri in the Avatar films, while McConaughey has starred in many famous dramas and comedies over the years. With filming set to begin soon, Positano is shaping up to be a beautiful and romantic Netflix release to watch out for.
