Earlier this month, on August 22, Catalina Sandino Moreno appeared on Fuse’s ‘The Sauce’. As always she was lovely and you can watch it here. I’ve also uploaded some stills of her appearance to the gallery.
And Sana sent in another great photoshoot from last year. Many thanks!

I have a very nice surprise for you! ‘The Hottest State’ was released on Italian DVD July 24. You might wonder why when the film has yet to hit US theatres. But it premiered in Italy at the Venice Film Festival last year and saw soon thereafter a theatrical release.
I’m very happy to have been able to see the film. It is another showcase of Catalina Sandino Moreno’s talent - although her character Sara may not exactly be the character the audience is rooting for. But Catalina’s charm makes up for that. Although the film in my opinion couldn’t quite keep up to its premise I still recommend you watch it when you get the opportunity. The acting is superb throughout, the visuals beautiful and the soundtrack great.

What a nice surprise! Mycah sent me some fantastic Livejournal icons and I simply had to open a section for them. Enjoy and please keep in mind to give the necessary credit (as explained on the Icon page) when you use them.
| New role: two film project about ‘Che’ |

Exciting news! Catalina Sandino Moreno has signed for a new project - and it is actually a two film project. Variety has just reported the following:
Colombian actress Catalina Sandino Moreno, Oscar-nommed for “Maria Full of Grace,” has been added to the cast of Steven Soderbergh’s two film project about Latin American revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara, which begins shooting July 25 in Spain.
Entitled “The Argentine” and “Guerrilla,” the two Spanish language-pics have a combined budget of around $70 million. Benicio del Toro toplines as “Che.”
Other thesps attached include Julia Ormond, Germany’s Franka Potente and Cuban Jorge Perugorria, as well as Spanish actors Jordi Molla, Oscar Jaenada, Eduard Fernandez and Ruben Ochandiano.
U.S.-based Guerrilla has teamed with Spanish production houses Telecinco Cinema and Morena Films to co-produce. Wild Bunch handles international sales.
Shooting begins in Spain’s central Castille La Mancha region and will continue in other locations in Madrid and Andalusia for nine weeks.
There is no word yet on who Catalina is going to play. The project has been in the works for quite some time now. Apparently it was first announced back in November 2005 as one film but also starring Benicio del Toro. Before the script was finished (which was originally written by del Toro and Terrence Malick) the team shot some scenes for about a week at the UN in January 2006 in an effort to get in ahead of a planned refurbishment at the buildings. A little later Julia Ormond joined the cast and last October the film was split in two.
