Pedro Almodóvar plans a return to comedy

Pedro Almodóvar plans a return to comedy

At the Barcelona premiere of his latest film, Hable Con Ella (Talk to Her), out writer-director Pedro Almodovar announced that his next movie would be a comedy, reports Europa Press. The filmmaker said that, although he has eight scripts in various stages in development, the one he has chosen for his next film will be a comedy featuring a female cast, since he wants to "return to humor." Almodovar denied that his recent films have suffered by changing to more masculine casts, although he noted that working with men led to "more tragedies than comedies...I don't really know why." Hable Con Ella is a drama that deals with two men (played by Javier Camara and Dario Grandinetti), whose girlfriends (Leonor Walting and Rosario Flores, respectively) are comatose. The film also costars such Almodovar regulars as Chus Lampreave, Loles Leon, Cecilia Roth, and Marisa Paredes.
