Penelope and Pedro Come Together Again

With the Spanish-language hit Volver garnering great reviews and building up Oscar buzz, it's no surprise that the film's director and star are already planning another collaboration.

Queer cinema legend Pedro Almodovar has announced that the sublime Penelope Cruz will play the lead in his next movie, El Piel Que Habito (The Skin I Live In).

The Spanish filmmaker says that this fourth collaboration with Cruz (she also appeared in his Live Flesh and All About My Mother) is a dark tale of revenge that is in no way autobiographical or even similar to his previous movies.

No word yet on when the film will be going into production, but it'll no doubt have to wait for awards season to be over first.
