A truly luxury cast featuring music legends and Hollywood stars

Furthermore, the great revelation of the project arrived with the announcement of eleven new stellar signings in the cast for Residente’s movie Porto Rico, immediately highlighting the presence of iconic Panamanian singer-songwriter Ruben Blades and viral hit creator Richard Gadd. Besides featuring Bad Bunny at the forefront of the cameras, the feature film incorporates figures the caliber of Rhenzy Feliz, Puerto Rican actor Ismael Cruz Cordova, Daniel Bruehl, Alberto Guerra, Marcel Ruiz, Arian Cartaya, Oscar Jaenada, Carmen Machi, and Luis Tosar. This eclectic and talented group joins the previously confirmed main cast, which already boasted the stellar participation of sacred monsters of acting like Viggo Mortensen, Edward Norton, and Javier Bardem, raising the bar of demands and expectations through the roof.

A deep story about Caribbean identity and a shooting that sets standards

Beyond the display of international stars in its cast, the movie Porto Rico arises from a childhood dream of its director René Pérez Joglar, also known as Residente, who co-wrote the screenplay alongside Academy Award winner Alexander Dinelaris to portray without filters the history and resistance against colonialism. Although recordings officially began at the end of August with the backing of tax incentives in the Dominican Republic, the essence of the narrative beats with Boricua strength to pay homage to the identity of the entire Latino community. With Bad Bunny fully committed to this acting challenge and an unprecedented constellation of talents like Ruben Blades and more, the film shapes up as an honest, intense and deeply necessary cultural manifesto to connect with new generations.
