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.
