"The movie will be written and directed by René " Residente" Pérez Joglar, a four-time Grammy-winning rapper whose tally of 29 Latin Grammy Awards is more than any other Latin artist. Residente, 47, has directed half-a-dozen documentaries as well as several music videos. Porto Rico will be his feature debut, with executive production from Oscar-winner Alejandro González Iñárritu ( Birdman)."
"An early version of the script, co-written by Birdman scribe Alexander Dinelaris, was said to be about the Puerto Rican revolutionary José Maldonado Román, aka Águila Blanca, or White Eagle. Maldonado fought against colonization in Puerto Rico as part of the Cuban Liberation Army in the late 19th century. It is not known if Porto Rico still follows that outline."
