BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Benicio del Toro To Star In Paradise Lost

Several filmmakers, including, most notably Joe Carnahan, have attempted to capture the story of Colombian cocaine trafficker Pablo Escobar on celluloid. But few have gotten their projects through development. Now actor-director Andrea di Stefano is set to get shooting, and has scored Benicio del Toro to play the lead in Paradise Lost.

The director also wrote the script, which takes an original approach to portraying the man.

It’ll focus on Nick, a young surfer who goes to visit his brother in Colombia and falls for a local girl called Maria. But there’s a problem with Maria, and one Nick can’t easily solve – her uncle is Pablo Escobar.

And so the film is described more in the vein of The Last King Of Scotland: it’s not a direct biopic of Escobar, but will instead weave the young lovers’ story around Escobar’s actions.

Di Stefano is planning to start shooting this March in Panama. As an actor, he’ll also be seen on our screens in Life Of Pi, which arrives on December 20.11 Del Toro will next crop up in Jimmy Picard and one of Terrence Malick’s new, still-untitled projects.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
