Bandidas
You’ve never needed a good reason before to see a Salma Hayek movie or a Penelope Cruz movie other than the fact that they would be in the movie. Well now I’m giving you two reasons to go see Bandidas… they star in it together! Coming out on DVD January 9, 2007 from Fox Home Entertainment, the two bombshells take your daddy’s old west film and throw in some spice of their own.
Bandidas on DVD January 9th
Bandidas is written by the minds that brought you such movies as The Fifth Element, The Transporter, and The Karate Kid, namely Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. The story pairs Hayek and Cruz up as two female bank robbers along side Sam Shepard (Stealth, The Notebook), Steve Zahn (Sahara, Daddy Day Care) and Dwight Yoakam (Crank, Panic Room). Hayek and Cruz deliver the laughs, bravado and action in this new age “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”. But unlike Butch and Sundance, Salma and Penelope carry out their performances with unimaginable sex appeal! Bandidas slams a spur into the framework of the genre and sets a new standard, a female standard, for all to follow!
The bonus material on the DVD is laced with audio commentary by the two stars as well as the chance to follow the two of them on their own behind-the-scenes segment, “Burning Up the Set”.
