Woody Harrelson And Kerry Condon to Star in Giant, Remake Of 2013 Argentine film Corazón De León

In the upcoming movie titled “Giant,” actors Woody Harrelson and Kerry Condon will be taking on leading roles. This film is an English-language remake of the 2013 Argentine production “Corazón de León.” The original writer-director, Marcos Carnevale, returns for this project, guaranteeing a reimagined yet authentic adaptation. With a script written by Academy Award winner Gonzalo Maza (A Fantastic Woman), the goal of “Giant” is to present a touching and comedic exploration of love, tolerance, and deeply-rooted prejudices in society.

In a humorous fashion, the upcoming production will delve into the topics of bias and unusual love stories. The original story of Corazón de León followed a highly accomplished woman who found herself smitten by an enchanting yet unusually short man, causing her to question her own biases and conventional norms. Harrelson and Condon are anticipated to infuse their unique charm and depth into this fresh take on the tale.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m excited to share that I will be working on a new adaptation of a beloved classic film. The original director, Carnevale, who masterfully handled the 2013 version, will ensure the heart and soul of the original story remain unchanged.

The script for this English-speaking version will be penned by Gonzalo Maza, renowned for his collaborative work on A Fantastic Woman, a film that won an Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.

Meanwhile, I’m thrilled to have seasoned producer Mike Lobell on board, lending his expertise to this project. CAA will be representing the film in its journey towards completion.

In 2013, “Heart of the Lion” was a huge success in Argentina and various other Spanish-speaking regions. Featuring Guillermo Francella and Julieta Díaz, this movie held audiences spellbound with its blend of comedy, romance, and social critique. Francella, a well-known Argentinean actor, gave an exceptional performance as León, a charismatic and accomplished architect whose height became the focal point for the film’s examination of love and discrimination.

Though Corazón de León didn’t bag major international accolades, it struck a chord in Latin America, garnering impressive box office returns and receiving positive reviews for its balanced blend of thoughtfulness and entertainment. The movie’s fame even paved the way for foreign adaptations, including a French remake titled Up for Love, featuring Jean Dujardin in the lead role.

Featuring a stellar lineup of actors, a gifted crew, and a cherished foundation for its tale, “Giant” promises to be an engaging and emotional retelling. Both devotees of the original story and new viewers can anticipate witnessing Harrelson and Condon breathe life into this narrative. Keep posted for further announcements about production and distribution as the movie progresses.
