Mundial is only almost nine (9) months old and among its seven (7) films to date is Canana-produced film, Paraiso, a follow-up by (Mexican) Mariana Chenillo's film, Nora's Will.
Remember Diego was cast in Elysium? Quick refresher: Elysium is by director Neill Blomkamp, is a sci-fi action-thriller and stars Matt Damon as its main man. Caught up?
Yay!
So, Elysium is out and its stars are doing press --- which also includes Diego! Here's a list of all those outlets doing interviews with Diego:
And he was mentioned at the
Salt Lake Tribune (it can be read at
the Washington Post as well;
Latinos Post has the interview while
Latina has him teaching Conan a few Spanish words as does the
Huffington Post) for being on Conan O'Brien during Elysium press duties: do you think he was being funny?
According to
KFGO, Elysium is doing awesome at the box office (there's a picture of Diego with Matt Damon and Jodie Foster).
Diego's also receiving a Hispanic Heritage Award! Folks letting us know:
Plus Diego's been talking about his film, Chavez, with the
