Javier Bardem & Alejandro Inarritu have a BIUTIFUL relationship!

by Matt Holmes

Variety carry the official confirmation that Academy Award winning Javier Bardem will lead Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's next picture BIUTIFUL. The movie about a man embroiled in shady dealings who reunites with a childhood friend who unfortunately for him is now a policeman will begin shooting in Barcelona next week and filmed in Spanish. BIUTIFUL marks the first movie from Inarritu after his very public split with his former screenwriting partner Guillermo Arriaga whose collaboration on AMORES PERROS caught Hollywood's eye where they then went on to make the Academy recognised 21 GRAMS and BABEL. The problems were over the writing credits on BABEL with the disagreements becoming so heated, Arriaga was shunted out of making an appearance at the film's premiere at Cannes in 2006. So for this pic at least, Inarritu is working from his own script but will be reunited with cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto and composer Gustavo Santaolalla...with his good friends Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuaron producing. via - aicn
