Latina diva Gloria Estefan revealed that she has spent four years writing a screenplay and she hopes to turn it into a movie starring Hollywood heavyweight Danny DeVito, the Associated Press reported from Mexico City.
Entitled Who's Sorry Now?, the script tells the story of a female American pop singer in the 1950s, Estefan said at the inauguration of a restaurant she has opened in the Mexican capital.
"The script is finished and is in the hands of several artists to see if somebody wants to film at the start of next year," Estefan said.
She did not say who might direct or produce the movie.
Working on screenplays has not stopped the Cuban-American songstress from making music, though.
Next year, she plans to release a new Spanish-language album, which she said will have a similar sound to her 1993 record Mi Tierra.
"I'm never going to stop making music. I couldn't," she said.
And if making movies and hit songs wasn't enough, Estefan and her producer husband are also planning to extend their chain of restaurants throughout Mexico.
On Thursday, they opened the Bonguitos Cuban Cafe in Mexico City's international airport and on Jan. 18 they will open another eatery in the Pacific resort of Puerto Vallarta.
"We wanted our first restaurants [outside the United States] to be in Mexico, a country that always opened the door to Gloria and me since the beginning of our careers," Emilio Estefan said.
The producer said the food would all be 100-percent Cuban with "lots of garlic, lemon and onion." |
