Penélope
Cruz meets Carmen Maura in “Volver”,
to be filmed on Madrid and Castilla la Mancha.
El Deseo productions confirms that “Volver”
(“Coming back”) is the name for the
film Pedro Almodovar will begin to shoot in July
on Madrid and Castilla la Mancha. But there are
more news: Penelope Cruz and Carmen
Maura will share starring roles. Although
a lot of information about this film has been already
published, this is the first time El Deseo openly
talks about it.
Besides Cruz and Maura, there are four important
roles in the screenplay. But Almodovar has not chosen
all the actors yet. We will tell you their names
soon.
“Volver –says Almodóvar- is
a bridge between Michael Curtiz’ Trouble Along
the way and Frank Capra´s Arsenic and Old
Lace, all mixed up with surrealist naturalism as
in my own fourth film ¿Qué he hecho
yo para merecer esto?. The film has the colour of
the working class neighbourhoods, where immigrants
from any corner of Spain share their dreams, life
and destiny with racial and ethnic groups from all
around the world. In the core of this social labyrinth,
three generations of women survive wind, fire, even
death, by goodness, courage and an unlimited joy
of life.”
Lola Dueñas, Blanca Portillo and
Chus Lampreave will also be in 'Volver'.
Lola Dueñas, Blanca
Portillo and Chus Lampreave
will join Penélope Cruz
y Carmen Maura in the casting of
'Volver', the next work of Pedro Almodóvar,
waiting for July to be filmed on Madrid and Castilla
La Mancha.
Other news coming from Cannes film festival confirm
that Volver will be distributed by Sony Picture
Classics in the United States, by Pathé in
France, United Kingdom, Benelux and Switzerland,
and by Gaga in Japan. Focus Features Entertainment
holds the rights for International management.
