‘Love in the Time of Cholera’ was released on DVD in the US on March 18 (buy). It features a Making Of as well as a commentary by director Mike Newell and many deleted scenes (incl. optional commentary). Unfortunately, Catalina is only featured once - and briefly - in the Making Of. I’ve added screencaps of this and her supporting role in the film. Though she’s really only in a handful of scenes Catalina manages to easily steal the scene in each and every one of those I thought.

Long time no update, I know… Catalina Sandino Moreno’s latest film ‘Love in the Time of Cholera’ has opened in theatres in North America. Go & see it! It looks absolutely fabulous cinematography wise. Critics haven’t exactly warmed to it, though. However, they often mention Catalina’s supporting performance very favourably - but more on that later.

Check out the official site and the film’s MySpace site, watch the trailer on Apple and have a look at the international trailer and the music video (Shakira’s Las Despedida) on iFilm.

The poster for ‘Love in the Time of Cholera’ has arrived! (source). And the film has a release date: it will arrive in US theatres November 16.

Adapted for the screen by Oscar winner Ronald Harwood (The Pianist) and directed by Mike Newell, Love in the Time of Cholera tells the tale of two lovers, Florentino Ariza (Javier Bardem) and Fermina Daza (Giovanna Mezzogiorno), one more obsessed than the other, who part ways at an early age to live two very different lives. The film then tracks each over the years (we’re talking late 19th century through the first decades of the 20th century), while Fermina settles down with a doctor (Benjamin Bratt) her father forces her to wed and Florentino engages in 622 affairs (not kidding about that) in an attempt to mask the pain he feels due to the one that got away. Also starring in this sure-to-be-an-Oscar-contender are Liev Schreiber, John Leguizamo, the very lovely (and talented) Catalina Sandino Moreno and Hector Elizondo.

Update by Riikka: Catalina Sandino Moreno is in negotiations to star in the Mike Newell-directed Love in the Time of Cholera for New Line Cinema.

Moreno, who toplined the Fine Line release Maria Full of Grace, joins Javier Bardem, Benjamin Bratt and Giovanna Messogiorno in the adaptation of the Gabriel Garcia Marquez tome.

She would play the role of Hildebranda Sanchez. Story is described as a 50-year love triangle set in turn-of-the-century South America.

Scott Steindorff is producing through his Stone Village Pictures. Chris Law and Dylan Russell are executive producing with Scott LaStaiti and Brantley Dunaway co-producing. Ronald Harwood adapted for the screen.
