Leaping lizards! Imagine a little Latina Annie? We have.

Leaping lizards! Imagine a little Latina Annie? We have.

This week it was confirmed that power players Jay-Z and Will Smith will officially produce “Annie” with an African-American twist. Yes, the little orphan that sings “the sun will come out tomorrow,” will be black. Annie will be played by the adorable 9-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis who will go into Oscar history as the youngest Best Actress Oscar nominee. The Academy Award gave Wallis this honor after her astounding performance in “Beasts of the Southern Wild.”

This wonderful news got us thinking – if Hollywood can have a black Annie, why can’t they also have a little adorable Latin Annie?  Read More

Exclusive! First look ‘K-11’ poster with Kate del Castillo!

Exclusive! First look 'K-11' poster with Kate del Castillo!

You “La Reina del Sur” telenovela fans are going to love me today! I just got my hands on the exclusive first look character poster of “K-11” with Mexican actress Kate del Castillo!

Jules Stewart, mother to Twilight star Kristen, directs del Castillo in this drama that tells the story of a man’s plight after winding up in K-11, the Los Angeles County Jail’s transgender inmate unit.

Jules Stewart and K-11 producers are being smart about capitalizing on Latino moviegoers by casting the very talented Kate del Castillo. From what I can gather, this looks like Kate’s most challenging role to date where she is showcasing her ability to play very layered characters. Kate is a thespian and in this movie she’s unforgettable!  Read More

Oscars 2014 Will Be The Year Of The Latinos!

02.27.2013 | By |

The 2013 Academy Awards might not have been the most cheerful event for Latino viewers who expected more wins for their own.

This year, out the 24 categories there were only four wins we can claim ours including Best Cinematography for the Chilean Claudio Miranda (who doesn’t speak Spanish) for his work on “Life of Pi,” Best Documentary Short for “Inocente” about a homeless undocumented Latina immigrant who longs to be an artist, Best Documentary Feature for “Searching for Sugar Man” about a musician of Mexican descent named Rodriguez who became bigger than Elvis Presley in South Africa during the 70s, and the biggest win of the night, Best Picture for “Argo,” based on the story of CIA operative Tony Mendez, who though he says is not Hispanic, does admit to having a Mexican bloodline.

‘Identity Thief’ Returns to #1

02.25.2013 | By |

‘Identity Thief’ jumps back up to number one in its third week at the box office, with $14.1 million. The movie just keeps on surprising since its opening day, Universal Pictures sure must be pleased as the film’s total is $93.7 million so far.

Dwayne Johnson’s Latino-packed movie ‘Snitch’ sadly only reached the second spot with $13 million. Perhaps word of mouth will help the film, it received great reviews, which should have helped add on the main protagonist, and action-packed film. We’ll wait to see if it rises next week. Read More

Exclusive: Nadine Velazquez on ‘Snitch’, ‘Aztec Warrior’

02.21.2013 | By |

Nadine Velazquez is definitely a rising star in Hollywood. This Puerto Rican beauty already has a solid TV career with her roles in ‘My Name is Earl’, ‘Hart of Dixie’, and ‘The League’ and now she’s slowly making her way into the big screen after some previous attempts a while ago. Last year her role in Denzel Washington’s ‘Flight’ got everyone’s attention as she is nude in the first scene for a long time and has a lingering role throughout the film. I had the chance to talk to her back when that film opened and now I had the luck to talk to her once more for her movie ‘Snitch’ starring Dwayne Johnson and Susan Sarandon; opening this Friday, February 22nd.

Ric Waugh: "Snitch is Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Fugitive’"

02.20.2013 | By |

Transcription done by Mariana Dussan.

Ric Roman Waugh’s “Snitch” will be known as the movie that saw the evolution of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson from action star to dramatic actor. His perfomance is rooted in acting and not punches thrown or heads cracked and his audience will judge, via the box office, whether he did well or not.

Waugh is confident that they will enjoy it and that the film he created possesses a fine balance between story and entertainment value. His first foray into film was a very lauded movie called “Felon” which received much praise from actors and Hollywood insiders alike. He used to be a former movie stuntman, from a family of stuntmen, who has brought his skill and vision to create some suspenseful action sequences in the denoument of ‘Snitch’.   Read More

Michael Peña to star on Fox's 'The List'

The Latino actor who is about star in the movie about Cesar Chavez from director Diego Luna, Michael Peña, is set as the lead in The List, Fox‘s drama pilot from director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland).

The premise has Peña at the nucleus of the story: Deputy U.S. Marshal Soto (Peña) who, when members of the Federal Witness Security Program start getting killed, leads the hunt for the person who stole “the list” – a file with the identities of every member of the program.

Peña’s character is being described as ruggedly attractive, oddly charismatic man, a notoriously quirky maverick who frequently gets into trouble with the bureaucracy. Read More

'A Good Day to Die Hard' punches its way to #1!

Most of the movies in the box office this week came out Valentine’s day, which means they’ve had four days to get some numbers in and ‘A Good Day to Die Hard’ ended up at number one with $25 million dollars. The new John McClane and son film received terrible reviews, but its faithful followers still made sure to give it a chance, its total for the four days is $33.2 million dollars. The movie has had a lot of international support, which might help its weak beginning.

Last week’s number one ‘Identity Thief’ fell to number two with $23.4 million dollars, making it a success. The film surprised everyone taking over the box office last week, the comedy has now earned way past its production cost making it an unexpected winner. Read More
