Patricia Clarkson, Kevin Dunn, Rebecca Hall and Chris
Messina also star in the tale of Vicky and Christina (Hall and
Johansson), two Americans vacationing in the title's Spanish
city, who become part of a chain of romances involving an
artist (Bardem) and his nutty ex-wife (Cruz). A steamy menage a trois sequence between Bardem, Cruz and
Johansson was the talk of the American Film Market when it
previewed in Santa Monica in November. Another selling point might be the offscreen romance
between Bardem and Cruz. The pair also are working together for
the Weinstein Co.'s adaptation of the Broadway musical "Nine"
for director Rob Marshall. The film marks Allen's sixth partnership with Bob and
Harvey Weinstein, one that began in their Miramax days with his
1994 comedy "Bullets Over Broadway" and continues this month
with "Cassandra's Dream." A 2008 release of "Barcelona" is
planned. Reuters/Hollywood Reporter |
