Leguizamo IS 'Happening'
From variety.com
I don?t know how all of you feel, but personally, I find Johnny Leguizamo to be hilarious! Which is why, it makes me pleased to announce Johnny Leguizamo will be joining the cast of 20th Century Fox and M. Night Shyamalan?s The Happening. Even Better, with the film being shot right in FEARnet?s back yard maybe we will get a chance to meet him! The Happening, starring Mark Wahlberg, centers on ?a man who takes his family on the run when a natural disaster threatens to end the world. Leguizamo plays his best friend. ?
According to variety.com, Lensing starts next month in Philadelphia. Fox has scheduled a worldwide release date of Friday, June 13, 2008.
Leguizamo also stars in Spike TV's The Kill Point, an eight-hour original miniseries that debuts Sunday.
This fall, he appears in the screen adaptation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel Love in the Time of Cholera, directed by Mike Newell and set to bow Nov. 16.
Also upcoming for Leguizamo is the release of indie Where God Left His Shoes. Written and directed by Salvatore Stabile, pic -- which garnered buzz at this year's Tribeca Film Festival -- stars Leguizamo as a failed boxer struggling to find a job and apartment for his family on Christmas Eve in New York.
Leguizamo recently wrapped production on two independent films: The Take, directed by Brad Furman, and The Babysitters, written and directed by David Ross.
