Feb 20 2006
Javier Bardem has been cast in the film version of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's hugely succesful novel 'Love in the Time of Cholera'.
Bardem, who received Oscar nominations for 'Before Night Falls' in 2001 and 'The Sea Inside' in 2004, will play a romantic youth who loses the girl of his dreams to a wealthy suitor.
He then spends the next 50 years preparing himself to one day win her back.
Mike Newell ('Four Weddings and a Funeral', 'Donnie Brasco') is set to direct the film, which will shoot in Central and South America later this year.
