Muy macho: Banderas and Picasso
Spanish movie star Antonio Banderas has been signed up to play Picasso according to the Daily Mail. The new biopic, entitled 33 Days, will focus on his relationship with his French muse Dora Maar, and how the Cubist pioneer conceived and created Guernica (1937). "[Picasso] is a character that followed me for a long time, but [I] had always rejected it... he deserves a lot of respect because I am Malagan," said Banderas. "I was born four blocks from where he was born. It has always fascinated me."
