NOV. 5, 2009 - Hollywood insiders are reporting that Andy Garcia will direct a new film staring Anthony Hopkins as Ernest Hemingway.
The Internet Movie Database reports that the film is scheduled to be released sometime in 2010. Titled Hemingway & Fuentes, the film chronicles Hemingway's Cuba years when he penned "The Old Man and the Sea", befriended Gregorio Fuentes, and fell in love with his 3rd wife.
My only question is are we going to see Anthony Hopkins taking some big game on a fly rod, and are they going to hire a "stunt fly caster" like they did for A River Runs Through It?
But if anyone can pull off Hemingway, it's Sir Anthony. Let me know if you need some casting lessons!
