Hmmm… a little torn on this one. I know I’m in the minority here… but I have never been a fan of Penelope Cruz. I think she may be one of the most overrated actresses getting major roles today. She’s been in some good flicks… but almost despite her (Vanilla Sky and Blow are just 2 examples). Salma Hayek is another one I’ve never been enamoured with… but lately she’s been winning me over.
However, there is no denying the pure beauty of these two ladies. Put them together in a western… add a little Steve Zhan for comic relief… and I’m powerless to deny that I’m at least a little interested. Interested in what? Bandidas.
ETOnline did a little story on the upcoming Erotic Lesbian Western… ummm… sorry… that was just my imagination typing… upcoming WESTERN. Here’s an excerpt:
All decked out in cowboy garb, Penélope says she’s wanted to do a western all her life and she trained to be a fast draw for the flick, even though guns still make her a little nervous. On working together for the first time, Salma says, “We have a very different dynamic that is fast and that I think it’s going to make the movie very exciting.” Penélope chimes in, “This is the best chemistry. She keeps me awake, you know? I have complete trust in her. We know what the other one is thinking.”
Who am I kidding… this movie is going to suck harshly. But I’ll see it if for no other reason that I’ve liked Zhan in just about everything he’s been in. I mean really… who comes up with this stuff?
