I was very surprised to read an article published a few days ago on the website EMOL (El Mercurio OnLine) about the possible involvement of actress Natalia Tena (Tonks) and actor Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) in a film about the "English Joan of Arc."
Then I leave the most important item:
------------------------------------ ------------
Actors Harry Potter film would participate in the "English Joan of Arc"
English Producers seek for Natalia Tena role of Agustina de Aragon, English heroine in the War of Independence, while Daniel Radcliffe trading for Lord Byron.
The story of Agustina Raimunda María Zaragoza Domenech, a renowned English heroine who defended his country during the battles against Napoleon, will be filmed in a English-American coproduction.
Now the film is based on a script written by British writer Richard Thompsett and even as a name rumored for the role: Natalia Tena, the youngest of 24 who have participated in the last two installments of Harry Potter.
"She would be perfect, because it is British, but his parents are English. We also spoke with Ellen Page and Natalie Portman for the role," said Max Montalvo, English producer of Intervision Partners.
Other names mentioned are Daniel Radcliffe for the role of a young Lord Byron, Cillian Murphy, Joseph Fiennes and Jonathan Rhys Myers in the role of General Sir Arthur Wellesley, and Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek and Eva Mendes for the role of Big Sister Augustina.
"We shoot the movie this year, Lithuania and Malta, with a couple of weeks in Zaragoza," says Montalvo . "We have said that Radcliffe is not available until 2010, so perhaps we should wait. We hope that if Tena says yes, he also want to take the role" , said.
Montalvo said the original idea is that the film becomes a franchise, with possible secuales or prequels. What remains to be confirmed who will be the project director.
