Star director Pedro Almodóvar is working on his first English-language film. Cate Blanchett is to be seen in the new project.
Cate Blanchett (52) will soon be in front of the camera for an extraordinary project. The actress is supposed to take on a role in Pedro Almodóvar’s (72) new film “A Manual for Cleaning Women”, as reported by “Variety”. It is Almodóvar’s first feature film to be shot entirely in English. The director and producer has realized most of his previous projects in his native Spanish.
“A Manual for Cleaning Women” is a film adaptation of the short story collection of the same name by Lucia Berlin (1936-2004). In December Almodóvar spoke to the industry magazine first time about this project. He was already working on it, but couldn’t promise this film would come out next.
Almodóvar and Blanchett – an Oscar dream team?
