More Adrien Brody as Manolete  
I'm pretty annoyed because I haven't been able to find any Manolete trailer so far. I've watched things on TV here but nothing similar to a proper trailer or teaser yet, just images of the filming or Adrien training or so.

You know how much I want to watch this movie, not because I'm an Adrien Brody or Penelope Cruz fan but because of the story and the way Brody has managed to become Manolete, his faces, his gestures... all (apart from how much they look alike).

Anyway, I did find this video (at yourtube, of course) about the filming and the plot of the movie where you can see parts of the scene that I already love. When Manolete sees Lupe for the first time. Love, love, love Adrien there!!! (sorry the narration is in Spanish)

[Error: unknown template video]

I also found another video but the quality is worse (it's from somebody filming at the beach while they were filming the scene) and you really can't see if they are Adrien and Penelope there... but in case you want to check it out, here it is.

Ah, and in case the embed thing doesn't work, here is the link to the first video. I really recommend it! here.

I'm a big Adrien Brody fan but I don't think this movie catches my interest too much. I might go see it though regardless. AdrienBrody<3. Haha.

Adrien Brody looks like Manolete
I just finished Barnaby Conrad's book, "The Death of Manolete." It is uncanny how much Adrien Brody resembles Manolete—except for the scar on Manolete's left cheek from a previous bullfight wound. The book has fantastic pictures of Manolete and his final fight. It tells the story of the rivalry between Manolete (at that point on the downhill side of his career) and the arrogant newcomer, Dominguin. It will be interesting to see how the movie portrays Manolete's girlfriend, Lupe Sino, played by Penelope Cruz. Sino desired for him to continue to fight, while he wanted to quit. It will also be interesting to see how Adrien Brody depicts Manolete's famous coup de grace over the bull's horns and front shoulders. The move ultimately led to his death. Check out the book, "The Death of Manolete" by Barnaby Conrad published by Pippin Publishing, www.pippinpublishing.com.
