Gael Garcia Bernal & Diego Luna Join Matt Piedmont's Spanish Language Comedy 'Casa De Mi Padre' Starring Will Ferrell

Mexican duo and “Y Tu Mama Tambien” co-stars Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna are set to reunite for Matt Piedmont’s forthcoming Spanish language comedy “Casa de mi padre” — translated as “House Of My Father” — which is already set to star Will Ferrell.

Details on the project are being kept firmly under wraps but the collaboration of the aforementioned trio is enough to build our hopes up, even if helmer Piedmont has the dubious honor of being labeled a regular David Spade collaborator.

As it stands, the film is simply being billed as an “overly dramatic telenovela,” hopefully to comedic effect, with Ferrell in the lead role, Garcia Bernal as a family friend, Luna as the brother, Genesis Rodriguez (“Entourage”) as Ferrell’s love interest, with Pedro Armendariz Jr., Hector Jimenez (“Nacho Libre”) and Adrian Martinez (“It’s Kind of A Funny Story”) rounding out the cast. Last we heard the film would be shot entirely in Spanish with subtitles for those of you not fluent in the language.

Affinity International will be handling the international sales of the project which has the likes of Adam McKay, Kevin Messick and Jessica Elbaum producing in association with NALA Films’ Emilio Diez Barroso and Darlene Caamano Loquet. No word yet on when production will begin. Hasta la proxima. [THR]
