Golden Age via Andrucha Waddington’s ‘Lope’

Date:

No trailers and just one pic folks to show for Andrucha Waddington’s to be released sometime in 2010 period pic. The filmmaker behind Me You Them (2000) and the lush The House of Sand (loved the creative use of thesps Fernanda Montenegro and Fernanda Torres) directed a shot-in-Spain pic titled Lope, about the early Golden Age of theater which housed spirited romantic comedies.

This is set in 1588 when Lope de Vega is forced to choose between a relationship with a woman who can advance his career and another who represents true love. Here’s a hardcore wiki listing on Lope himself, and our preview page which gives you a sense of who’ll play his love interests.
