El Universal reports the director has been scouting locations and doing camera tests in Mexico City for a new project, spotted with cinematographer Bradford Young (Arrival, Solo: A Star Wars Story). While no specific details on the title, cast or plot are known yet, they were seen at Chapultepec Castle and in the historic center of Mexico City. Reports indicate the cast was dressed in ’90s outfits and the tests included cardboard cutouts of politicians Carlos Salinas de Gortari and José López Portillo. There was also an actor dressed as the famous children’s character Pajára Peggy and sets from the Mexican comedy series El Chavo del Ocho.

Denis Villeneuve’s frequent production designer Patrice Vermette (Dune, Arrival) is also on board, according to Discussing Film. While production on the independent film was aiming to kick off in April, we imagine things have hit a roadblock with the coronavirus pandemic, but we can hope production will resume after this crisis subsides. As we await more details, from these first hints of a Mexico City-set story around the time of the director’s formative years, it certainly sounds like Iñárritu is taking a note from Alfonso Cuarón and reaching into his past, but we’ll learn more soon.

This nigga made Babel let’s not act like he can make something touching Roma.

didnt like Roma but wouldnt surprise me if this is worse

Innaritu is a hack

I saw Roma in the theater twice I’m such a prestige hype b****

But Jokes aside the setting of this does excite me even if inarritu has lowkey never made a movie I actually enjoy

lol tbh I actually did enjoy The Revenant mostly because of Chivo's incredible cinematography and the action sequences were great as well.

Innaritu's pretentiousness def bogs the film down but I still enjoyed it a good deal tbh

In. Birdman top 10 of all time
