Antonio Banderas To Star In Cuban Thriller


Spanish hunk ANTONIO BANDERAS is to star in and produce a new action thriller.

MIRAMAX has bought the rights to the script of INFIDEL. The film studio is reported to be hoping to turn the movie into a franchise for possible sequels.

According to the HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, the script follows BOBBY DE LEON, played by Banderas, a staunch anti-FIDEL CASTRO Cuban- American CIA analyst. He is duped by his superiors into returning to Cuba to prevent President Castro from being assassinated.

When De Leon discovers the true nature of his mission, he must decide whether to do his job and save Castro, let the assassin complete his assignment, or pull the trigger himself. (RP/WNWCAN/KMW)
