John Cusack starring in and producing DICTABLANDA

John Cusack has signed on to star and produce Dictablanda, ”a screwball comedy of manners which finds the thesp embroiled in international mayhem.” The film has the tagline, "People don't die, they get killed," and will be filmed on location in Buenos Aires and Mar de Ajo, Argentina throughout March and April.

Production is underway already with Pablo Bossi's Pampa Films. Cusack is producing through his New Crime Productions banner, along with prominent entertainment attorney Kevin Morris and Bossi. Alejandro Agresti (The Lake House) is set to direct based on a script he co-wrote with Cusack, Morris and Paul Hipp, who co-stars. 

I am looking forward to seeing the recently wrapped James McTeigue's thriller The Raven, in which Cusack stars as Edgar Allan Poe. Cusack also has Mikael Hafstrom's beautiful looking Shanghai awaiting release from The Weinstein Co.

I enjoy just about all films that Cusack stars in and am looking forward to the film. What are your thoughts on this news?
