Cinamour Entertainment Punches Up Its Production Slate With New Feature Film From Mexico With Love



In a one-two knockout, Cinamour Entertainment has signed Kuno Becker (Goal!: The Dream Begins, Lucía, Lucía) and Bruce McGill (Cinderella Man, The Legend of Bagger Vance) to star in its newest feature film production From Mexico With Love, it was announced by CEO of Cinamour Entertainment Glen Hartford, who will produce the film along with partner and company President Daniel Toll. The company has also signed Alex Nesic of the critically acclaimed television series Sleeper Cell and SAG Award winner and two-time Golden Globe nominee Steven Bauer of Scarface and Traffic.

Slated to begin principal photography in San Antonio, TX on September 25, 2006, From Mexico With Love follows the story of a physically tough but emotionally self-destructive young man (Becker) who is among the millions of illegal aliens vying for a new life in the United States. The protagonist is a dreamer full of conviction who aspires to be a pro boxer. With the support of a washed-up former trainer (McGill), he prepares for an uncertain future and in the end will learn that it takes more than anger to win in the ring.

's8220;We are thrilled to announce that Kuno Becker has signed on to star in From Mexico With Love,'s8221; said Hartford. 's8220;Kuno has proven to be an audience favorite in such films as Goal: The Dream Begins and its sequel Goal: The Dream Continues, and has steadily become one of the hottest crossover talents from Mexico in the industry. The additions of McGill and Bauer to the team are also pivotal and significant to the intense energy of this film. McGill is one of the great character actors of our time, with a hugely respected career working with the likes of Michael Mann and Ron Howard. Bauer has a long and illustrious list of diverse roles, one of which won him a SAG Award for Traffic.'s8221;

Both Becker and Nesic are currently training under the firm yet talented hand of legendary Hollywood fight coordinator-turned-director Jimmy Nickerson, who is responsible for the renowned fight scenes in such knockout films as Raging Bull, Rocky, Rocky II and Fight Club, among others. Nickerson previously made his directorial debut with Cinamour's8217;s feature Forbidden Warrior.

's8220;We are attracting great talent to this project,'s8221; said Toll. 's8220;We started with an awesome story and now we have assembled a powerful team both in front of and behind the camera. With Becker as the hero, Nesic as our villain, McGill as the mentor and Jimmy Nickerson calling the shots, the odds are that From Mexico With Love will be a hit film.'s8221;

From Mexico With Love also has in its corner Executive Producer Academy-Award winner Ken Herts, co-executive Producer is James Lloyd and co-producer Cord Douglas. The script was written by Hartford and Nicholas Siapkaris. Casting is currently in progress under the supervision of Kim Coleman (The Last Samurai, Inside Man).
