Salma Hayek will topline and produce Spanish-language romantic comedy "La Banda," aiming the project at her Latin American fan base and as a potential crossover vehicle in the United States. The independently financed project -- centered on Grupero music -- will start shooting in Mexico this summer with Rick Schwartz (co-producer on "The Departed") and Pepe Tamez also producing. Issa Lopez, who just directed her first feature in Mexico for Warner Bros., is writing and directing.
"La Banda" is the first Spanish-language job in Mexico for Hayek since she starred in telenovelas more than a decade ago. A soundtrack album, with Hayek performing, also is planned. With the success of 'UGLY BETTY,' Hayek's hit TV show, Salma can pretty much do anything she wants at the moment.
