Anthony Hopkins in the role of Ernest Hemingway
Anthony Hopkins will play in a new and independent movie “Hemingway & Fuentes” about the life of Ernest Hemingway, produced and directed by Andy García, who will play a role in this project, informs hollywoodinsider.ew.com.
Andy García, who wrote the scenario together with Hemingway’s granddaughter, writer Hilary Hemingway, will play the role of Captain Gregorio Fuentes, a close friend of the writer in the last ten years of its life.
Moreover, about Fuentes is said to be the main character of the best known writer of the volume, “The Older and sea”, for which Hemingway won the Pulitzer in 1952.
Andy García’s agent, Clifford Stevens, stated that this “project soul” of the actor is in the process of fundraising. “He spoke about this project for 15-20 years” said Stevens.
“Because Andy García is born in Cuba, where the political situation is quite delicate, it is very unlikely that shooting takes place in this country” said the agent, who added that it might as Annette Benning role to interpret Hemingway’s wife.
