SuicideGirls got a chance to talk with "Cronicas" director Sebastian Cordero about his upcoming Harrison Ford period film "Manhunt" which has Ford playing a General tracking down Abraham Lincoln's assassin John Wilkes Booth.
Cordero says "What I''m looking forward to doing with him is creating a very mature character. It's interesting to me that actually when you look at the US at the end of the Civil War the world is falling apart because it's been ravaged by the war. Finally when it seems that everything's going to be over it's not and this conflict is going to go on. It's frighteningly similar to a lot of things that are going on in the world right now. I think a lot of the chaos and the mayhem that you had in the US at that time was in many ways similar to a lot of the chaos you see in Latin America. I connect very much the human side of the story. This is a story about a world falling apart where you have these two idealists who are very extreme and very different from one another but they share the ideal of trying to do things right and trying to change the world".
Have they gotten any farther with the casting Manhunt? "No not yet, it is only Harrison Ford at the moment. We're working on the script now. Andrew Marlowe is working on a new draft and so far it's coming along really well. The movie starts with Lincoln''s assassination. I think that scene in itself is going to be great. It reads incredibly well in the script and I think there's so much to be done. Of course it is a very important moment".
Thanks to 'Dan'
