Hector Lavoe Movie

I saw them filming in P.R.!!!

I just had to brag... I was visiting San Juan for my very first time, and came upon Marc Antony & J.Lo filming their movie (a pool party scene) at my hotel! Granted, I'm anti-J.Lo, but still a little starstruck (more so by Marc, than the wifey)!
 
I was watching "Ray" earlier this week and I realized how much dedication Jamie Foxx devoted to the role of ray charles..He even acted blind for most of it, gained weight, etc, studied his vocals..he gave it, from what I saw, 100%...hence why it was soo good...I was thinking how shameful it would be if Marc Anthony doesn't do that and just half-ass the acting, singing,prducing, financing etc since lavoe was a charater himself aswell... Im'm just saying this since I hear he refused to gain weight, depict his relationships to women truthfully (what I mean by that is that I hope he didn't emphasize one relationship over the other to give more screen time to his own beloved),etc...
I mean the movie itself has to be more than good it has to be great for sole reason that 99.9% of the world doesn't know who Lavoe is...
 
Sadly marc will be using his voice instead of lipsyncing. It would be a tragedy to attempt play Hector in a movie and have the character sound like MARC ANTHONY!

Its an insult for a guy like Marc Anthony to play the part of Hector Lavoe. Lavoe was a king.
Dont get me wrong, Marc Anthony is a big star and I respect him for that. But playing Hector Lavoe in a movie has to be perfect. Can he manage? And if he does go through with it i just hope he wont add some of his own style into the character he is playing cause that would mess it all up. Honestly, when you compare these 2 guys Marc Anthony is a wannabe loser. Leave the part for someone serious Marc. And dont try to get money out of someone that was a hundred times more of an artist then you could ever be. And i could bet on all ive got that Marc anthony would never come close to wha Jamie Fox did in the movie Ray.
Ow and one more thing, what does J-Lo have to do with any of this? Spotlight is on Lavoe this time honey, not on your ass. 8)
 
Marc who?

I'm sure that Marc would do justice to the movie as well as Lavoe. It's too late to think who could've done a better job. *Ahem! Del Toro!

I'm sure Marc feels the weight getting heavier on his shoulders, as a result of his huge puerto rican fan base.

He knows that if he does anything less than excellent it could hurt him, especially with his older fans.
 
I am a fanatic of classic salsa and I am allergic to romantic and contemporary salsa.

Yet, I will never understnd this prejudicial hostility towards Marc Anthony.

I mean: he happens to be a contemporary romantic salsa idol, but nobody - except himself - is able to say whether he really love Lavoe songs and copnsequentially he really be proud to interprete him in a movie.

Let's have a look at this movie and then we'll judge!!!

By the way,

In Italy this movie will come oput next year, what about the US?
 
I truly hope so too.
Wouldnt want anybody that doesnt know Lavoe to get the wrong idea.
And very very true, if he messes up hell suffer the price.
Pretty damn curious now.
 
The movie is set to come out in june july 0f 07 it was played at the toronto film festival it has gotten mixed reviews some people loved it others have said it wasnt that good and some people are talking oscar nods for marc and jlo

marc has done a great job with the sound track and the reason for marc not lipsinc is because of the diffrences in the voices it would not look right the changes in the voices from when marc is talking and then when he sings is a whole diffrent voice it would not work

well in this movie your going to see jlo like you have never seeing her before cursing most of the movie and doing drugs and she does get alot of air time because she is narrating the movie as puchie hectors wife by the way the movie is not called who killed hector lavoe its called el cantante the singer here is a link

So i'm new on here but about Hector Lavoe's biopic i just read it was about to be done and it wasn't done yet.... I'm confused. 8)
 
Benecio Del Toro does look like he could play Hector Lavoe! Isn't the name of this movie called Cantante or is that something else? I don't know about Marc's acting skills, but im not worried about the singing part. Marc is a wonderful singer!
 
I also think Marc is a good actor. Certainly not Benecio status but still good. He has done a few earlier roles that were okay but has anyone seen 'Man on Fire'? Very good in that and if given a chance, could be a really solid actor.
 
this looks to be an excellent movie, I cannot wait.
recently on puerto rican television they aired thr "E True hollywood Story"
the life of hector lavoe.

you can watch it in its entirety at the link below

You mean Hector when you wrote "best salsa singer ever"...? correct?
I would not have gone gone with Marc, he has very limited acting skills.... Benito would have been a better choice since is a trained actor, where as Marc has very little training.
He's an OK POP singer but not a REAL Sonero. But he since is one of the Producer.... ;) I'm a NYRICAN and I wish both Marc and Jennifer full success in their film. The movie called "EL CANTENTE" will out in the summer of 07'
