By Kellvin Chavez on August 25, 2006
John Leguizamo, Hector Elizondo and Fernanda Montenegro have joined the cast
of "Love
in the Time of Cholera," directed by Mike Newell, says Variety.
The trio join Javier Bardem, Benjamin Bratt and Giovanna Mezzogiorno in the
adaptation of the Gabriel Garcia Marquez book.
Based on the novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez, "Cholera"
follows a romantic young man (Bardem) who loses the girl of his dreams to a
wealthier suitor and consequently spends the next 50 years building his life
and reputation so that one day he might have her. Other women find this devotion
irresistible, so he finds himself with frequent female companionship throughout
his wait, but his heart always remains faithful to the woman who first captured
his heart.
Production is slated to begin Sept. 4 in Cartagena, Colombia, and London.
