Another indie project is coming and this time it's some kind of an action thriller titled
The Jesuit. As you already see from our title,
Paz Vega is set to star next to the previously announced
Jose Maria Yazpik who will play the lead. If you ask me, the most interesting thing about this film is that
Alfonso Pineda Ulloa will drect it from the script written by
Paul Schrader! And we all know who Schrader is,
right?
Well, if
Taxi Driver,
Raging Bull or
American Gigolo mean nothing to you… But, back to
The Jesuit! The movie will center on a man who has been imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit.
When his wife is killed and his son kidnapped and taken to Mexico, he devises a dangerous plan to rescue the boy and avenge her death.
Jose Maria Yazpik is on board to star as that guy,
Paz Vega will play his ex-wife, while
Shannyn Sossamon is also set to star as the woman he hires to masquerade as his wife during his quest for revenge.
Argonautas Producciones is producing the film, which starts filming this month in Mexico.
