Film producer Scott Steindorff and director Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Four Weddings and a Funeral) will introduce the film to the 2007 Hispanic Heritage Awards Honorees and sponsors, elected officials, representatives of the top national Latino organizations, and celebrity guests. The following evening, the Hispanic Heritage Awards will celebrate the 21st year of the prestigious honor and ceremony. Mr. Steindorff, Mr. Newell and the cast of Love in the Time of Cholera including Benjamin Bratt (Traffic, Clear and Present Danger), John Leguizamo (Moulin Rouge, Collateral Damage), Academy Award Nominee Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace), Hector Elizondo (The Celestine Prophecy, Georgia Rule) and Laura Harring (Mulholland Dr.), will collectively receive the 2007 Hispanic Heritage Award for the Arts at the next evening’s gala event at the renovated Renaissance Hotel in downtown Washington, D.C. The Hispanic Heritage Awards will be hosted by actress Judy Reyes of NBC’s “Scrubs” and will feature a star-studded roster of presenters and dazzling performances by some of the recording industry’s hottest artists. “It’s an honor to be associated with America’s first screening of Love in the Time of Cholera,” said Antonio Tijerino, president and CEO of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation. “As an organization, an important part of our mission is to promote Latino pride and culture. This beautiful film shares in our mission through its interpretation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ work and stunning portrayal of Colombia, which comes to life on the screen. We applaud the film’s cast, crew, and its producer and director for their vision and artistic contributions. Based on the acclaimed book by the Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez and adapted for the screen by Academy Award winner Ronald Harwood (The Pianist), Love in the Time of Cholera spans a half-century in the complex, magical, and sensual city of Cartagena, Colombia. This sweeping romantic epic tells the story of a man who waits over fifty years for his one true love. The film will be released in theaters on November 16, 2007.
