Spanish hearthrob Antonio Banderas is slated to portray conquistador Hernán Cortés in new bio-pic chronicling the conqueror’s expedition into Mexico, which he then christened “La nueva España”:
The independently financed film tells the story of the expedition that sailed west from Cuba in 1519 in hopes of expanding the Spanish Empire. Cortes and his band of soldiers came upon what is now Mexico and swiftly brought about the destruction of the Aztec empire led by Moctezuma.A September production start is anticipated on location in Spain, Mexico and South America.
It will be directed by Andrucha Waddington, whose credits include “Eu Tu Eles” and “Casa de Areia.” Nicholas Kazan (“Reversal of Fortune”) wrote the screenplay.
