Bardem to star in "Love in the Time of Cholera"

15:09 H | Topics: Books - Celebrities - Movies

bard4.jpgSpanish uber-hottie Javier Bardem has been tapped to star in the film version of Gabriel García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera":


En su rol, Bardem personificará a un romántico joven que pierde a la mujer de sus sueños por culpa de un millonario que logra conquistarla. Y que durante los siguientes 50 años se empecina en lograr estatus y reputación con la esperanza de algún día tenerla.

Bardem will play the starring role in the film, after producers finally convinced Garcia Marquez to allow his book to be adapted for film. Filming starts this year in Central and South American locations.

Bardem is the first Spaniard ever to be nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, for his portrayal of Cuban exile poet Reinaldo Arenas in Before Night Falls.

YES!!! I loved this book. While reading Garcia Marquez I always think what a kick-ass novela or movie it would make.

Let's see how many people protest that they didn't pick a "real Latino" for role.

4. Maegan la Mala ~ Friday, Feb 24 2006 | 15:30H:

ha ha. Well I don't know if that will happen. I think Bardem is respected enough in the Latino community even though I gotta tell you mujer I disagree with you labeling him as a hottie. Talented si. Delicious....no tanto (not for me anyway).

Well, Maegan, to err is human, and I still accept you as my friend ;)
