Has Mexico's film industry been helped or harmed by Hollywood?
1 May 2013 9:38 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The success of rags-to-riches comedy Nosotros los Nobles confirms Mexico as a cinematic supremo, albeit one whose own prosperity hangs on its film-making neighbour to the north
Reading this on mobile? Click here to watch trailer
An 11-year record at the Mexican box office fell the weekend before last, when class-clash comedy Nosotros los Nobles (We Are the Nobles) dislodged the 2002 Gael García Bernal drama The Crime of Father Amaro as the highest-grossing local film of all time. The sickly sweet whiff of Catholic corruption enticed audiences a decade back; this time it's the equally worn groove of the gulf between rich and poor in the country. Nosotros los Nobles riffs on the cunning scheme of a Mexico City millionaire who strips his kids of all their luxuries by staging a fake police raid, forcing them to drive buses, wait cantina tables and other humiliations conducive to heartwarming life lessons. »

Iñárritu's 'Birdman' starts shooting with Keaton, Watts, Stone, Galifianakis and more
16 April 2013 12:35 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Add up the belly laughs in Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu’s first four features -- "Amores Perros," "21 Grams," "Babel" and "Biutiful" -- and, well, you'll find you have a lot of fingers going spare. Accomplished and sometimes exhilarating as his films (all of which have found favor with the Academy to some degree) have been, a change of pace wouldn't hurt him at this point. That appears to be very much what he's going for in his new project, "Birdman," which began principal photography in New York City yesterday. Billed as a black comedy, it stars several names you might »

Édgar Ramírez, Robert De Niro Star In Roberto Duran Boxing Biopic ‘Manos de Piedra’ or ‘Hands of Stone’
9 April 2013 3:25 AM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Legendary Panamanian boxer Roberto Duran is getting a professional biopic treatment. Deadline reports that the film will star Golden Globe Nominee Édgar Ramírez (for Carlos) as Duran and Robert De Niro as his trainer Ray Arcel. The film will be directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz (Sequestro Express).
Gael García Bernal (Amores Perros, The Science of Sleep) was circulating the role of Duran and even visited Panama last year but in the end, director Jakubowicz decided to go with a different actor due to García Bernal’s time constraints.
I’m really bummed that García Bernal didn’t land this role. He’s a great actor who would have surely given this role great care. With his departure I sincerely hope that Ramírez brings everything that he’s got and more for this important role, which is representative of the tiny Central American country of Panama.

‘Biutiful’ stunningly ambitious, sensational cinema
7 April 2013 8:21 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Written by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Armando Bo & Nicolas Giacobone
Spain/Mexico, 2010
It’s a real testament to a filmmaker’s abilities when one of his pieces can principally revolve around a struggling man’s attempts to support his family, plus the effects he has on those around him, and then use said protagonist’s psychic abilities as little more than a subplot. Imagine if The Sixth Sense portrayed Cole as a grown man, near destitute and hammered by life, with the “I see dead people” crux as narrative depth rather than intricate focus. Mexican maestro Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu has proved just how apt he his at capturing the vast scope of a story, whether in the sensational and emotionally hardboiled (Amores Perros) or the ambitious but ultimately underwhelming (Babel), but with his Catalan set epic Biutiful he takes a boat across the Atlantic to »

7 March 2013 4:25 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Three days ago, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.s Birdman barely seemed real due to the left field aspect of its ensemble comedy notion being worlds away from the trauma-filled drama of his earlier films (such as Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Blutiful).

The latest name on Birdman.s roster, according to Deadline, is U.K. actress Andrew Riseborough, perhaps best known to U.S. audiences for her work in Mike Leigh.s 2007 dramedy Happy-Go-Lucky or Mark Romanek.s 2010 love triangle romance Never Let Me Go. She.ll soon be appearing with Tom Cruise in the sci-fi epic Oblivion; and in the horror Hidden with Alexander Skarsgåard, whom she.ll also co-star with in Henry Alex Rubin.s Disconnect. Somewhere in all that is the crime story Welcome to the Punch with James McAvoy »

Emma Stone Lands With Birdman

Poor old Spider-Man. If only his spider-senses could have told him that his on-screen ladylove, Emma Stone, would be cheating on him with another superhero. She’s just joined the cast of Alejando Gonzalez Innaritu’s new dark comedy Birdman, which will also feature Naomi Watts, Michael Keaton and Zach Galifianakis. Birdman is a slight change of gear for Inarritu, a man normally known for such deep and painful films as Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Biutiful. But lest you think he’s going totally wacky, the new movie promises to be a dark comedy.We follow Keaton as an actor once known for playing the titular iconic superhero (ironic, given Keaton’s time in the Bat suit) who is trying to dig himself out of a career slump by mounting a play based on a Raymond Chandler short story. But he faces problems with the show’s egotistical leading man. »

5 March 2013 3:09 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is changing gears in a major way for his next project. While we have gotten to know the filmmaker through his deeply dramatic, soul crushing movies like Amores Perros, 21 Grams, Babel and Biutiful, his next title, Birdman, will take him head-first into the world of comedy. And he's assembled an absolutely amazing cast to take the trip with him. The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts and Zach Galifianakis have all signed on for Inarritu's first comedy.

5 March 2013 1:08 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Director Alejandro González Iñárritu (Babel, Amores Perros) has assembled quite the cast for his upcoming comedy Birdman. The film centers on an actor who once played an iconic superhero, and now faces troubles with his ego and family as he prepares to mount a Broadway play in a bid to reclaim past glory. Though Iñárritu’s previous work veers on the heavy drama side of things, he’s nabbed some top-notch comedic talent to bring this lighter film to fruition as Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, and Zach Galifianakis have been enlisted to topline the pic. Hit the jump for more. Per Heat Vision, Keaton is set to play the lead role of the washed up comic book movie actor in Birdman, which is an absolutely brilliant piece of casting.

5 March 2013 12:41 PM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Generally known for his tough, harrowing dramas like “Amores Perros,” “21 Grams,” “Babel” and “Biutiful,” we've been waiting patiently to see what Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu would be doing next. His options of late have included the con man/criminal drama "Flim-Flam Man" and the period vengeance tale "The Revenant," but it looks like his next feature will find him changing gears in and taking something a lot more lighthearted. First announced at the end of last year, "Birdman" reunited Innaritu with "Biutiful" co-writers Nicolas Giacobone, Armando Bo and playwright Alexander Dinelaris with whom he wrote the comedy, based on a Raymond Chandler short story, centering a former actor who once played an iconic superhero and mounts a Broadway play in a bid to reclaim his past glories. And now, an ace cast is coming on board the film with Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts and Zach Galifianakis all slated to star. »

Gael Garcia Bernal On Saying 'No' To Simple Hollywood Films
6 February 2013 4:02 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Mexican film star Gael Garcia Bernal would be willing to throw his formidable talent, not to mention his piercing gaze, into the Hollywood blockbuster juggernaut - if only the films were a bit more… subtle.
“Are they willing to do a film without a flashback to help us understand?” he asks. “All these films insist on having this moment where they explain why the character is the way he is or she is. It's the opposite of emotional empathy."
Gael Garcia Bernal has got Hollywood knocking at his door, but he has certain conditions
Garcia Bernal, one of Latin America’s hottest stars after appearing as Che Guevara in ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’ after the Oscar-nominated ‘Amores Perros’, is convinced his current film, the Oscar-nominated ‘No’, would never have made it past the studio system…
“They’d never do anything with this complexity. It’s a film that leaves many things unsaid or unexplained, »
