Penelope and Javier Bardem to team up for “Nine”

Spanish hotties Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have been cast for the film version of the Broadway musical “Nine”, based on the film 8 1/2 by Federico Fellini. Reports Variety:
Bardem just got the offer to play director Guido Contini, who experiences a creative and personal crisis as he tries to balance all the women in his life. That includes his wife, mistress, his film-star muse, agent and even his mother. Raul Julia originated the role onstage, and Antonio Banderas played it in the revival. The musical was inspired by the Fellini film “8 ½.”Cruz is in talks to play Carla, Contini’s mistress, while Cotillard is to play his wife, Louisa. Although they have not yet committed, Zeta-Jones is being courted to play the director’s muse, and Loren his mother, who appears as a ghost.
What a star-studded cast. Bardem and Cruz are also already working together on Woody Allen‘s new movie being filmed in Barcelona.
The stage version of Nine starred another Spaniard, Antonio Banderas, and according to Spain’s 20 Minutos Banderas is interested in playing the role in the film version — the one Bardem has already been offered.

Bardem joins Penelope in new Allen bilingual pic

Spanish hottie Javier Bardem has been cast alongside Penelope Cruz in the upcoming bilingual Woody Allen film we told you about recently. Who cares what the film is about…Woody Allen is directing and Bardem is starring…I’m sold!
Bardem and Pe will meet up with Woody in Barcelona, Spain, for this film. This will be the only the second time in Woody Allen’s 30-year career that he will film outside of New York City, the first being when he shot Match Point (excellent film) in London.
Let’s hope that with the help of Woody Allen (and Penelope, who is Hollywood’s darling at the moment) Javier can get the attention he deserves. After being cheated by the Hollywood machine at the Oscars back in 2000 for his stellar performance portraying Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas in Before Night Falls (they chose Russell! Crowe!), I think Javi’s been less than interested in Tinseltown, but I’d love to see him get the international acclaim that is due him. Looks aside, in my opinion, he’s one of the best actors in the world these days.

Spanish 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.
