Simon Bolívar - new movie? |
| |
Salma Hayek is in talks to play the role of Manuela Sáenz, the controversial fiancée of Simón Bolivar.
The Ecuadorian director Rubén Rodriguez assured that Salma "is very interested" in the project. Sáenz
is well-known for having saved Bolivar from being assassinated by enemies during a famous plot in Bogota.
Simon Bolívar (1783-1830) was one of South America's greatest generals. His victories over the Spaniards won independence for Bolivia, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. He is called El Liberator (The Liberator) and the "George Washington of South America."
The producers hope that Antonio Banderas will personify the liberator.

Benicio is no Diego |
 |
Salma Hayek offered the role of Diego Rivera to Benicio Del Toro. Unfortunately
he refused saying that he already had to gain a lot of weight for "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and that he didn't want to go through the same again.
Alfred Molina is still not confirmed for the role as he is bound to
his contract for the TV series "Ladies Man". It looks like Frida is still searching for her Diego..
