[Himmel]

Penélope Cruz and Antonio Banderas are to topline Spanish feature Competencia Oficial, which gets underway in Spain at the end of next month. Veteran Argentine actor Oscar Martínez will also star.

The movie is co-written and co-directed by Argentine filmmaking duo Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat. Andrés Duprat also scripted. The MediaPro Studio is is producing.

Banderas and Martínez will play two very different actors with different track records, whose methods clash during the preparation of a movie financed by a notorious and over-eager millionaire. Cruz will play the film’s prestigious but eccentric director.

Additional cast includes José Luis Gómez, Carlos Hipólito, Koldo Olabarri, Irene Escolar, Nagore Aramburu, Pilar Castro and Juan Grandinetti.

This will be The MediaPro Studio’s third co-production with Cohn and Duprat after My Masterpiece and 4×4. Source
