Forgotten Márquez screenplay heads to film
An early story from then-struggling writer Gabriel García Márquez could make it onto the big screen, reports the Guardian.
Mexican actor and producer Rodolfo de Anda says he has acquired the rights to the long-forgotten screenplay and plans to start filming next year. Titled "Frontera", the film was written before the 1967 novel One Hundred Years of Solitude turned García Márquez into an international literary star known to most of the continent simply as Gabo.
"Nobody knew it existed, and the most surprising thing is that it is a Western. I don't think anybody knew he had written anything like that," De Anda told Mexican newspaper Reforma.
