News: Guadalajara, San Diego & Abraham Lincoln!
Connect in.com connected Diego with director Pedro Almodovar. Other connections, according to the site, include Penelope Cruz, Abraham Lincoln and Ben Affleck. A perfect connection for Diego was with Sammy Davis Jr.
The T Magazine blog at the NY Times had an article, Clean Your Plate, about legendary figures on dishware. From the article:
The group originally included Diego Luna and Salma Hayek,
Moxham says, “but we took them out because they’re not as legendary.”

Urban Joint posted an (old) AFP story about Diego’s directorial debut at Sundance. From the article:
The theme of childhood also reflects the fact that Luna is making his debut as a director. "The first time you direct a film you are like a child who is learning a new language, and I think it's natural to tell the story of someone you could have been in the past."
Luna said he had enjoyed the experience of being a director, and was motivated to take up a new project,
"but in the same way as 'Abel,' by taking the time to find a story and working on it a lot.
"I lost my hair, and I couldn't sleep, but I really enjoyed it," he said.
Speaking about old stories, in.com reposted a story from the Independent about how Gael and Diego met. From the article (Gael):
I don't dare say this kind of thing in front of him -
because I can get very sentimental - but I think there is an English saying "He's the brother I never had." That is how I feel about Diego.
And from the same article (Diego):
My favourite memory of Gael is when I saw him on stage in London in
Blood Wedding. It wasn't anything to do with the play - he had just wanted to do that for so long and I was so proud of him.
The Daily Aztec talked about the 17th annual San Diego Latino Film Festival. Mentioned within its 185 film line-up? Solo quiero caminar! (DVD available from Amazon; don’t forget to check your DVD player and the product to check on the region.)
In case you didn’t know, Diego was at the 25th Guadalajara International Film Festival this month! The blog, Film Experience, mentioned being ‘under the same roof as Luna’. From the article:
Earlier today I had a chance to have a meeting with Diego Luna. Not only was he much taller than
I expected but his eyes have this incredibly deep color you never see when he's onscreen. His voice has that same childish joy you know from Y Tu Mamá También and he was more than eager to answer questions.
