Two hours with Gael García Bernal, anyone? The Mexican actor only made one film last year, the Spanish-language No with director Pablo Larraín. Larraín is a well known in his native Chile, which was been the subject of two of his films so far. No is the third in a planned trilogy about his homeland, and it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this week. Who's behind it? Director Pablo Read more

Gael Garcia Bernal is one of the celebrities at Cannes this year, and he's been busy talking up and celebrating his new film No. The picture is set in 1988, the year the Chilean people ousted dictator General Pinochet through a democratic vote.

Just in time for Will Ferrell's appearance on The Office, we get to take a peek at his Spanish-language film, Casa de mi Padre. It's everything we expected (and maybe just a teensy bit more): a full-on telenovela spoof, complete with sexo (that's sex to you), guns blazing, and slapping a-plenty.

How do you make a romantic comedy about cancer? According to A Little Bit of Heaven (formerly titled Earthbound), you take a noncommittal woman named Marley (Kate Hudson), diagnose her with cancer, make her fall for her doctor (Gael Garcia Bernal), et voilà! If the film's formulaic setup doesn't already have you rolling your eyes, just wait until Marley swings by heaven (you can tell it's heaven Read more

Gael Garcia Bernal better get ready to hit the gym, because the actor's next role is going to require some serious training. He's set to play Roberto Duran in Hands of Stone, an upcoming biopic about the famous boxer (who often faced off with Sugar Ray Leonard). Al Pacino is also in talks to play his trainer. The film hasn't been fully greenlit yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed to see Read more

Gael Garcia Bernal shared the happy news on Saturday that he and girlfriend Dolores Fonzi are expecting their second child, and yesterday they took a stroll in Buenos Aires to celebrate with their 20-month-old son, Lazaro. The family is in Dolores's home city during a break from work for Gael, who appeared on the big screen earlier this year in the critically underwhelming movie Letters to Read more

Two of my favorite movie and real-life BFFs, Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, are reuniting on screen yet again, and this time it's in the name of Will Ferrell. The two have been cast in Ferrell's Spanish-language comedy Casa de Mi Padre (yes, Ferrell's Spanish-language comedy. Don't worry, there will be subtitles). The Y Tu Mamá También and Rudo y Cursi costars sound like they have fairly Read more
