Jared Hess, writer and director of Napoleon Dynamite fame, will release his next film, Nacho Libre, this June. It stars Jack Black as a priest who becomes a professional wrestler to save an orphanage.
This interview gives some background on the movie and why Hess likes Latin culture so much:
I was a Mormon missionary when I was nineteen in Venezuela. I was there for a year. That’s where I learned Spanish. My mother-in-law lives in Honduras half of the year. Just the culture altogether, I love it. I adore it.
And yes, the actor who played Pedro will be in Nacho Libre.
