News: Blu-ray and film festivals, oh my!
There’re more mentions of Diego rather than actual news about him this week but it’ll be interesting to see how Diego came to be mentioned. So, after you …
Diego’s upcoming trip to Cinemanila has been mentioned once again, this time by Ricky T. Gallardo over at Business Mirror Online Space. What’s interesting is why Diego will be at Cinemanila and dates have been given for Cinemanila.
The good news is that Luna is presenting his debut film Chavez at the 11th CineManila International Film Festvial this coming October, a film inspired by the life story of one of Mexico’s most popular boxing greats.
Quoting Luna, “To all of Mexico, Chavez is more than a boxer-he is the personification of hope and dreams. The small town boy who went from washing cars to boxing fame and success proved that through will and determination-and a ferocious left hook-anything is possible. His story is universal.”

Cinemanila will run from October 15-25 and will be at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.
A film neither Diego or Gael have been mentioned at all in conjunction with was I’m Gonna Explode, directed by Gerardo Naranjo. They weren’t connected to the film in any news until they were mentioned in a review about the film as being its executive producers.
If the name Gerardo Naranjo sounds familiar, that would be due to I’m Gonna Explode (Spanish title is Voy a explotar) being Naranjo’s second film. His first film had been 2007’s Drama/Mex, which was also executively produced by … you guessed it! Diego and Gael.
Remember Solo quiero caminar, written and directed by Agustín Díaz Yanes, that Diego was in?
Guess what? It’s being shown at the London Spanish Film Festival at the Cine Lumiere.
Taking place for the fifth year, the event will bring the very best Spanish-language movies from the last 12 months, giving film fans the chance to see productions such as Javier Fesser's Camino, which was the big winner at the last Goya Awards.
Other highlights include Solo Quiero Caminar, the final movie directed by Agustin Diaz Yanes,

Sin Nombre was mentioned once more in the news, this time at the Guardian’s Film Weekly (there’s a podcast). There’s an interview with Cary Fukunaga and part of that interview?
How Diego and Gael became the godfathers of Sin Nombre.
And before I forget, Big Picture Big Sound has a review of the Blu-Ray edition of Rudo y Cursi.
And last but certainly not least, Primicias Ya had a story about Lazaro, Gael’s son. The reason this is mentioned? It was mentioned in the article that Gael and Dolores, along with Lazaro, are visiting Camila and Diego in Mexico. (The original article’s in Spanish.)
