Information Trickling Online About LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA, With The Release Date Getting Closer Quickly!

Published at:  Sep 17, 2007 6:24:44 PM CDT


Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA is one of the great novels in any language, but it’s certainly one of the most celebrated milestones in Latin American literature. As long as I’ve been in Hollywood, I’ve heard vague rumbling about people trying to figure it out as a movie. It’s one of those mountains that someone was eventually going to climb, and it looks like someone’s finally conquered it.

The producers of the film got in touch with AICN last week to let us know that our first looks at the film are now online, and I’m pleased to pass some of this along to you.

First, there’s this behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, which gives you a sense of where they made it and how closely this hews to the novel itself:



And the guys over at Cinematical actually just premiered the one-sheet for the movie, which you can see here.

You’ve got Mike Newell at the helm and Javier Bardem, who is having one of the best years of his career, starring in the movie. This is exciting to me. It sounds like a passion project that finally came together the way it was supposed to, and I’ve got my fingers crossed that all that blood, sweat, and tears ends up onscreen, giving life to this amazing story.

    White Noise. By Don DeLillo, not the crap film with Michael Keaton. With monologue digressions in the vein of "Cashback", "Fight Club" or "Name Your Terrence Malick Movie". That would rock. "Fear and Loathing" got made. "Cholera" got made. Show some freshman year lit some love.

    So they're making MEDELLIN, right?

    by brokentusk

    That video reminded me of that ENTOURAGE episode, where they're shooting the film in Columbia. Seriously though, this looks promising. I must read the book.

    CARTAGENA!

    by phreakymex2

    it was so nice to see my adopted home city of Cartagena being used properly for a movie, not like the crap shite that was romancing the bone years ago... I cannot wait for this movie

    Sad, really. Cloverfield talkback gets thousands of posts and one of the highlights of 20th century lit can't even break double digits. Even Uwe Boll movies get more love.

    What I really want to see...

    by pops freshemeyer

    Is James Ellroy's American Underworld trilogy as an HBO series. Hell, the third book can be merely average and I'll watch just to see American Tabloid and The Cold Six Thousand...

    garcia (gunshot) marquez!!!!!!

    by the_man_from_rio

    all his books MUST be translated to film, that's an order, i don't to whom to, but that's an order...100 years of solitude deserves HBO treatment. one of my fave books of all time, and if you've read it, it's probably one of yours too. catalina sandino moreno gets more gostosa by the day. big up yourself catalina!

    If handled correctly, this will be a major player

    by imfixingtodie

    I can already hear geeks, including myself, across the world grumble when either this or ATONEMENT beats NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN for Best Picture. Mike Newell is one of the best commercial journeyman alive. DONNIE BRASCO is one of the best mob films ever and his Harry Potter entry was a notch above the rest.

    awesome

    by legokenobi

    i'm probably as excited to see this book come to life as i was to finally see lord of the rings make it to screen in a proper way. this book is fantastic, and one of my favorites. please please please do it justice! (and i'll second it: 100 years of solitude next, please).
