Sigourney Weaver, Bruce Willis and Henry Cavill release their Madrid Thriller

The action thriller "The Cold Light of Day" starring Bruce Willis, Sigourney Weaver and Henry Cavill was released last week in Spain. 

The film which is shot almost entirely in Spain under the direction of the French Argelian- born Mabrouk El Mechri tells the story of Will Shaw (Henry Cavill), a young american whose family is kidnapped on a vacation in Spain. Will has only a few hours to find his family and save the lives of his loved ones, but while trying to do it, he finds himself in middle of a governmental conspiracy and discovers his father had a an obscure secret.

This action thriller has a classical starting point with a disappearance of characters followed by search and persecutions with a conspiration as a backround curtain.

Many of the action sequences are Madrid based and, although well shot, seem to follow the tendency of the Hollywood cinema to repeat the typical Spanish topics that are totally invented and ridiculous which actually have nothing to do with Spain.

The film produced by Intrepid Pictures, Film Rites, Fria Luz Del Dia, A.I.E., Galavis Film, Picture Machine and Summit Entertainment will be released in the US in September 2012.

Sylvester Stallone will star the adaptacion of "NO REST FOR THE WICKED"

The actor and producer Sylvester Stallone has announced to the Canadian magazine MacLeans that he will do the lead role in an American adaptation of "No Rest For The Wicked" by Enrique Urbizu. Stallone reveals this project when asked about the villain roles he has done in his acting career, and  replies that the adaptation of the Spanish movie (No Rest for the Wicked) is in process and that he will perform the starring role.

According to Stallone, Urbizu 's film is "hard-core", like "Bad Lieutenant". In fact Stallone says they are calling the adaptation "Badder Lieutenant."

It will be very interesting to see the adaptation of "No Rest for the Wicked", film that has given so much to talk in Spain and won just as many as six Goya awards. Surely one might think it could be difficult to repeat in an adaptation the effective subtleness achieved by Enrique Urbizu at the helm of the original "No Rest For the Wicked", as the truth is that the Urbizu's film is especially authentic, which is sometimes difficult to translate in an adaptation. The virtue of the original "No Rest for The Wicked" may lie in its way to create tension quietly and without excess of action, occurring the events of the movie at the right moments and in the right intensity. It will be interesting to see how the North American adaptation translates this expertise by Urbizu. Will the adaptation miss the authenticity of the Urbizu version? It will be seen.

Anyway, this adaptation is good news for Enrique Urbizu and Spanish cinema in general. Hopefully the original film also gains international audience thanks to the interest of Hollywood, which would be well deserved for a great Spanish director such as Enrique Urbizu. "No Rest For The Wicked" is probably one of the best Spanish films in recent years.

Stallone in 1983

When talking about other projects, Sylvester Stallone also revealed he is working on a new and final sequel to Rambo, which would be the ultimate end of this mythical personage, who would die in his latest adventure in Mexico. Stallone says he would love to shoot this last sequel of Rambo.

He also talks about the latest sequel of Rocky, that was released several years ago under the title of "Rocky Balboa", in which the old boxer returns to the boxing rings. Stallone admits that when he had the script written, no one wanted to bet on the film, because of the economic disaster of the last Rocky sequel released 16 years ago. However, according to Stallone, this time a producer agreed to read his script by courtesy, remaining the script practically in the drawer. Curiously, who finished reading and getting excited with the script was the wife of the producer and so the film was made in 2006 with the budget of some $ 20 millions.

The SPANISH FILM ACADEMY pays tribute to the Basque director ANTXON ECEIZA

Today, Tuesday February 28th , the Film Academy of Spain pays a posthumous tribute to Antxon Eceiza, a Basque director who died last year, projecting his film "Days of smoke" at the Academy's film theater.

Antxon Eceiza was a historical figure of the Basque cinema,  directing films like "The Embodied Mind", "The secret intentions" or "Last meeting". The now projected "Days of smoke" was the first film shot in Basque language that would compete in an official section of an international film festival, in this case, the Festival of San Sebastian.

The screening will take place today at 20:00 under the heading "Antxon Eceiza in memoriam."

Before the screening of "Days of smoke" will also be projected the short film "Through St. Sebastian" which Eceiza co-directed with Elías Querejeta, with whom he founded a theater-forum in his home town, San Sebastian, and with whom he collaborated in several occasions.

"Days of smoke" features a cast led by the Mexican actor and producer Pedro Armendáriz Jr., who died a month after the death of Eceiza.

According to the director's own words about the film: "I am a young Basque filmmaker who is old of age. "Days of smoke" was a heroic decision in 1988, and even today it keeps being heroic for a Basque film director to make a film with a Basque theme, shot in the Basque Country and in Basque language. "

The cinematographic testament of Eceiza was the film "Congratulations Tovarich" starring Paco Rabal.

We hope many can attend this historical projection offered by the Spanish Academy.

Spanish Academy GOYA AWARDS, 2012

José Coronado and Enrique Urbizu

Yesterday, February 19 was held the Goya Awards of the Spanish Film Academy. The big winner of the night turned out to be Enrique Urbizu with his film "No Rest for the Wicked" with a total of six awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay awards and Best Actor Award for Jose Coronado.

Isabel Coixet's documentary on the Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon "Listening to Judge Garzon" won the Goya for best documentary. The Catalan director used her presence at the gala to claim the innocence of Baltasar Garzón against the three legal imputations the judge is facing in Spain. Interestingly today, February 20th, Garzon has been formally removed from his judicial career by The Standing Committee of the Supreme Judicial Council of Spain because of the authorization given by the judge to some listenings of  prisoners suspected in the Spanish Gurtel- corruption case.

According to Coixet's words, "The Supreme Court may set aside Garzon of justice, but  nothing and nobody can separate justice from Judge Garzon," the filmmaker makes clear her opinion on the innocence of the judge and highlights the good intention of Garzon by adding "I wish that there had been no peace for the wicked," alluding to the great film by Urbizu with whom she shared yesterday's Goya Awards victory.

To highlight other winners, Elena Anaya was the winner of the Goya for Best Actress, while Lluis Homar and Ana Wagener received the Goyas of the supporting actors. Below a video of the Santiago Segura's monologue that gave the funny spark to the gala, and the complete list of winners. Congratulations to Enrique Urbizu, Isabel Coixet and all the winners!

"CHICO AND RITA" and composer ALBERTO IGLESIAS nominees for the 2012 OSCAR AWARDS

The Spanish representation at this year's Oscar Awards consists of the animation movie "Chico and Rita" by Fernando Trueba, Javier Mariscal and Tono Errando, and of the composer Alberto Iglesias who has been nominated for his original score in the film "Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy".

"Chico and Rita" is a wonderful project of animation for adults devised in the creative minds of the Catalan cartoonist Javier Mariscal and the talented and award-winning Spanish director Fernando Trueba. The movie tells the appasionate love story between a young jazz pianist, Chico, and a debuting singer, Rita, in the Cuba of the 1940s. 

Fernando Trueba and Javier Mariscal

The astonishing and original animation work of this movie, together with its marvellous music, makes this film become a mature and authentic peace of art which is filled with content. Trueba and Mariscal are real geniuses of a sensitive film making and a sensitive way of seeing art in general.

The script of the movie is written by Fernando Trueba and Ignacio Martínez de Pisón, and the music is composed by the Cuban grand old jazzman Bebo Valdés. The movie already won the Spanish Film Academy's Goya Award for the best animation movie last year.

Alberto Iglesias

And what comes to the composer Alberto Iglesias, Goya Award-winning too, he has a long career as a film composer in Spain where he has worked with directors such as Pedro Almodóvar, Julio Medem or Iciar Bollaín. He also has composed original scores to films like "The Constant Gardener", "The Kite Runner" or "Che". 

We hope luck to these Spanish artists whose talent is most certainly worth an Oscar. We'll have to wait until February 26th to find out if they actually will be awarded, although a nomination is already a great reward.

ALMODÓVAR'S "THE SKIN I LIVE IN" and composer ALBERTO IGLESIAS BAFTA nominees

P. Almodóvar, Elena Anaya, A. Banderas, Alberto Iglesias

The Spanish representation in this year's BAFTA nominations consists of the new film by Pedro Almodóvar "The Skin I Live In", which is nominated in the Film Not in the English Language- category.

 

Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo

Also the composer Alberto Iglesias, with whom Almodóvar normally works in his films, is nominated for his original score for the movie "Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy".

We wish all the luck to these artists as well as to the great french movie "The Artist" which is being this year's favorite nominee in BAFTA Awards with 12 nominations in total.
