Pedro Almodovar’s Next Movie In English?
Ok, we all know that Pedro Almodovar didn’t win any prize at Cannes, although it is inconceivable to me, but he has plans to make his first movie in English.
Yes, you read that correctly, so make sure to check the rest of this report for more details.
So, Almodovar met with a small group of journalists in Cannes to talk about his above mentioned movie, when he revealed:
McConaughey, Maguire, Vergara, Efron Topline Daniels The Paperboy
In August of the Year 1965, a man named Thurmond Call, who had, even by Moat County standards, killed an inappropriate number of Negroes in the line of duty, was killed himself between the towns of Lately and Thorn, along a county road which runs parallel to and a quarter mile west of the St. Johns River in northern Florida.”
After the critical success of Precious Lee Daniels has been searching for his next project for a long time and it seems that it’s finally taking shape according to above quotation.

Almodóvar’s The Skin That I Inhabit Teaser Poster
The Skin That I Inhabit, based on Theirry Jonquet’s novel, “Tarantula,” has already secured U.S. distribution via Sony Pictures Classics and has hit the first full teaser poster via The Playlist.
“The Skin I Live In” (previously referred to as “The Skin I Live In”) is an upcoming Spanish film directed by Pedro Almodóvar, starring Antonio Banderas (reuniting after two decades with Almodóvar — Tie Me Up! Tie me Down!) and beautiful Elena Anaya (Van Helsing, Sex and Lucía). Almodóvar describes the film as
a horror story without screams or frights.”
The film concerns a plastic surgeon’s vengeance on the man who raped his daughter. But really, that’s just touching the surface. This is a film that has a hateful leading role who, while seeking justice for his daughter, keeps his wife jailed and subjects her to embarrassing sexual acts with strangers. The story also apparently features a wide variety of characters whose lives end up crisscrossing so it’s not a strange to see the number of new names attached: Marisa Paredes (All About My Mother), Jan Cornet, Roberto Alamo, Blanca Suárez, Eduard Fernández, José Luis Gómez (Broken Embraces), Bárbara Lennie, Susi Sánchez, Fernando Cayo and Teresa Manresa.
