Ruben Blades
We reported a few weeks ago that Édgar Ramírez (Wrath of the Titans, Zero Dark Thirty) would be portraying legendary Panamanian boxer Roberto Durán in Jonathan Jakubowicz’s biopic Fists of Stone. Now an actual Panamanian is joining the cast as well: singer/actor/activist Ruben Blades.
Blades will be playing boxing promoter Carlos Eleta in the film; Jakubowicz is best known for Secuestro Express. The movie also stars a couple of other folks you may have heard of: some actor-gy name Robert De Niro and Usher, who seems to be some sort of musician.
We’ll see the film sometime in 2014. Meanwhile, the amazing Secuestro Express is available for instant viewing on amazon.com for a mere $1.99, right here.
