Rio De Janeiro - Rio de Janeiro's landing of the 2016 Olympics last week gave Brazilians reason to cheer for Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, their popular president.
Now they'll applaud his image on the big screen. The $10-million film "Lula, Son of Brazil" will be released across the country in January.
According to producers at LC Barreto Productions, the film will dramatize the president's early years, which they describe as "mythic" and "heroic."
"Lula is a Rocky Balboa story," said Bruno Barreto, the Oscar-nominated director who is the son of the studio founder and whose brother is director Fabio Barreto. |
