As a writer, director and producer, it is that Andy Garcia He has been preparing his new film for some time, which will be about the friendship between the incredible, extremely talented Hemingway writer, and a fisherman of Canarian origin, named Gregorio Fuentes, in Cojimar, Cuba. For those who have read little of this writer, know that it was this friendship that led him to write his famous novel «The old man and the sea«.
And for a long time, too, García had been wanting for the leading role to a great of the biggest screens, Anthony Hopkins. And to the joy of all the fans (of so many things ...), we can confirm that yes, the actor has already agreed to star in the film. It will be written not only by García, but also by Hilary hemingway, niece of the great writer.
But despite our very deep wishes, we cannot say that the first shout for Action will soon be given that will shut down the many that will be given in the filming. And it is that Andy García usually takes a prudent time before launching himself on the set (or abroad). And it is that the biggest complications will have to be seen when determining a filming plan with credible locations in the story. And is that Cuba, nowadays, and despite being the right place for the filming of the film, is a place of impossible access for a North American production. So Andy García said that most likely the shooting will take place in the Dominican Republic. At the same time, he was eager to start filming, but always counting on a planning that ensures the greatest possible realism.
So we will have to wait, at least until next year to see some of this incredible story.
