Actor Oscar Isaac is in negotiations to star opposite Mark Rylance in Steven Spielberg's The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara.

The filmmaker will start working on the true-life religious drama after he wraps the sci-fi thriller Ready Player One, reported Variety.

Tony Kushner is adapting the script based on David Kertzer's novel.

The true story centers on a 6-year-old Jewish boy in Bologna, Italy, in 1858, who was seized by the police and removed from his parents' home. He was subsequently raised as a Catholic and became a priest in the Augustinian order.

Rylance will star as Pope Pius IX.
