"Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio loves his home, and it fuels his art. His latest exploration of the island will be in Puerto Rican rapper Residente's Porto Rico, an "epic Caribbean western" about how Borikén became Porto Rico and then Puerto Rico. Per , Edward Norton, Javier Bardem, and Viggo Mortensen are co-starring. The script was co-written by Residente (born René Pérez Joglar) and The Revenant screenwriter Alexander Dinelaris."
""This film sits in a tradition of films we deeply love, from The Godfather to Gangs of New York," Norton said while wearing his co-producer hat, "that both thrill us with visceral drama and iconic characters and eras while also forcing us to face up to the shadow story under the American narrative of idealism." No official logline has been released for the film, but the name itself gives a hint at the time frame for the flick, at least."
Bad Bunny will take his first starring film role in Porto Rico, an "epic Caribbean western" by Puerto Rican rapper Residente that traces how Borikén became Porto Rico and then Puerto Rico. The script was co-written by Residente and Alexander Dinelaris. Edward Norton, Javier Bardem, and Viggo Mortensen co-star, and Norton serves as co-producer. The project promises a gripping narrative inspired by true events and evokes cinematic traditions from The Godfather to Gangs of New York while confronting the shadow story under the American narrative. The title points to the 1898 to 1932 era when the island's official English name shifted between Porto Rico and Puerto Rico. This role is the largest of Bad Bunny's acting career to date.
