Sex and Lucia‘s Elena Anaya (who I most recently saw in Hierro where she played a character similar to that in The Orphanage mixed with Monica Vitti’s character in L’avventura) has attached herself to writer-director Rafael Russo’s English language romantic drama titled Woman In A Bar.
Production co. La Zona’s Maria Contreras is looking to set this up as a European-U.S. co-production since the story-line revolves around an Irish musician who leaves his Spanish girlfriend in Madrid to live in New York where he finds love in unusual circumstances. In bares a pinch of resemblance to Spaniard Julio Medem’s Chaotic Ana about a free spirited woman who makes the same trek from the coastline of Spain to the Big Apple.
