Although Alex and I are both filmmakers, we rarely mention our own material on the site. This time is a noted exception, because Alex has had his terrific screenplay, BARON OF HAVANA, selected to be table-read at the Sundance Film Festival. Noted news.
The script tells the true story of the later years of the legendary Errol Flynn, when he took a much-needed job as a celebrity journalist that landed him in the middle of the Cuban Revolution, where he was embedded for a time with Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. The leads are very strong roles and I'm going to throw in my dream casting of Hugh Jackman or Pierce Brosnan for Flynn, Javier Bardem as Castro, and Benjamin Bratt as Che.
BARON OF HAVANA has previously won Best Screenplay at the Cinequest Film Festival, and has been a finalist in this year's Creative World Awards, and just placed in the top three features of the Creative Screenwriting Magazine's AAA Screenplay Contest, in addition to winning a total of six awards in the past year.
Here are the deets: The reading will be held at the Waldorf-Astoria, in Parley's Boardroom, in Park City, on Sunday, January 23rd, between 1-4 PM. Alex Simon can be contacted at HlywoodInterview@aol.com.
