Initial Synopsis For UNTITLED SPANISH COMEDY Starring Will Ferrell, Gael Garcia Bernal & Diego Luna Released!

Will Ferrell is set to star in Untitled Spanish Comedy with Y Tu Mama Tambien costars Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna.  The twist to that is that the movie willl be in Spanish with English subtitles. When it was first announced, the film was said to be in the same style as Spanish telenovelas.

We finally have a synopsis for the film, but it could easily change, since the film is in the test screening phase. The project is definitely unique and could be good.  

Synopsis:

This movie is currently called UNTITLED SPANISH COMEDY and stars Will Ferrell, Gael Garcia Bernal (The Motorcycle Diaries), DIEGO LUNA (The Terminal) and GENESIS RODRIGUEZ (TV’s Entourage & “Dona Barbara”) Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his father’s ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch encounters financial difficulties, Armando’s younger brother Raul (Diego Luna), shows up with his new fiance, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez). It seems that Raul’s success as an international businessman means the ranch’s troubles are over as he pledges to settle all debts his father has incurred. But when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul’s business dealings turn out to be less than legit, all hell breaks loose as they find themselves in a war with Mexico’s most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael Garcia Bernal)…

I remember seeing Y Tu Mama Tambien at SXSW, and I loved it. I also enjoyed Rudo Y Cursi, in which Bernal and Luna starred together as well. What are your thoughts of this news?
