Ok, we all love Javier Bardem, right, especially after No Country For Old Men and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
That’s why, although, at first moment, we had no detailed information about Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu‘s upcoming movie titled Biutiful, we already have a feeling that it would be awesome.
And we’ll finally have a chance to enjoy Bardem on big screen at Cannes Film Festival 2010 because this movie is in this year competition!
So, as we said, Javier Bardem is the leading star in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Biutiful, which is actually the first project of Gonzalez after his much-publicized bust-up with former screenwriting partner Guillermo Arriaga.
If you don’t remember these names, let us remind you that Arriaga and Gonzalez Inarritu were Mexico’s most successful filmmaking duo, starting with their breakout hit Amores Perros in 2000 and the subsequent leap into Hollywood with English-language pics 21 Grams and Babel that formed a trilogy.
Here’s Biutiful synopsis part: A man involved in illegal dealing is confronted by his childhood friend, who is now a policeman. At the heart of Biutiful is the intimate, powerful story of Uxbal, a man who finds himself desperately alone, trying to maintain his balance between survival in a marginal neighborhood and safeguarding the future of his young children who are floating aimlessly through life.
So, you can all guess that Bardem is playing Uxbal, and who could be better choice for this kind of role? The perfect guy that we all remember from titles like (above mentioned) No Country For Old Men or The Sea Inside and Between Your Legs.
We should also mention that this story is already described as Spanish-language “urban thriller”, which Gonzalez Inarritu wrote, and it was shooted in Barcelona.
Whole project is co-produced by Fernando Bovaira’s Mod shingle and Cha Cha Cha, Gonzalez Inarritu’s three-way partnership with Alfonso Cuaron and Guillermo del Toro.
So, guys, get ready for this “biutiful” movie, with georgeous Javier Bardem and Blanca Portillo, Rubén Ochandiano, Félix Cubero, Martina García and Manolo Solo among many others.
We wish them good luck at Cannes, and don’t worry, we’ll be right here bringing you fresh info and updates. So, stay tuned!
