![]() Tagline: How long would you wait for love?
Based on the novel of the same name by Gabriel Garcia Márquez, it tells the story of a love triangle between Fermina Daza (played by Giovanna Mezzogiorno) and her two suitors, Florentino Ariza (Javier Bardem) and Doctor Juvenal Urbino (Benjamin Bratt) which spans 50 years, from 1880 to 1930.
Producer Scott Steindorff spent over 3 years courting Gabriel Garcia Márquez for the rights to the book telling him that he was Florentino and wouldn't give up until he got the rights.
On his own initiative, García Márquez convinced singer Shakira, who hails from the nearby city of Barranquilla, to provide three songs for the film.
It will be the first time that a Garcia Márquez novel has been made into a film by a Hollywood studio, others being made by Latin American or Italian directors. It is also the first English language work of Fernanda Montenegro.
The film is due to be released in the USA on November 16, 2007.
