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.[1] The film is the return of Terence Hill since he appeared in Doc West (2009).[2]
It is produced by Luisa Tonon and Jess Hill, Terence's son, and distributed by Lux Vide, the same distributor of Don Matteo.[3]
The film is dedicated to Bud Spencer when, on 27 June 2016, before the end of the shooting of the film, Spencer died.[2] It was released on 19 April 2018.[4] 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.[5] In March 2018 was announced the final release of the film on 19 April.[5]
It was shot in Almería in locations as parque de las Almadrabillas, port of Almeria, Cable Inglés, Tabernas and Pescadería.[6][7] It includes many references to the "Fazzuli Western", including a pub brawl where the only thing missing from 1970 is Bud Spencer.
