\"\"<\/a>Spanish director Alex De La Iglesia is currently preparing to shot his next film, The Spark Of Life<\/strong>, in the next couple of weeks in Cartagena and Madrid. Joining hims will be actors Salma Hayek and a Spanish television comic actor Jose Morta as the leads of its story of \u201ca PR man in trouble\u201d. The drama’s screenplay is by Tango And Cash<\/strong> scripter Randy Feldman, though no details have leaked out yet.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, De La Iglesia is not much of a known quantity outside of a small circle of cinema fans here in the United States. This new film will very probably be in Spanish, like a majority of his output, and I hate to think that this will probably limit distribution of Spark Of Life<\/strong> to film festivals and a home video release at best.<\/p>\n

Could the presence of a known American star like Hayek get the film better exposure here in the States? One would think so, until you remember that De La Iglesia’s only English-language film, 2008’s The Oxford Murders<\/strong> which starred Elijah Wood and John Hurt, and\u00a0 didn’t get a chance to make much of a stir, having only been released in two American theaters.<\/p>\n
