First Look at Edgar Ramirez as Simon Bolivar in LIBERTADOR
No, this is not an image of an older-looking Jon Snow from Game of Thrones. It’s actually the first pic of Edgar Ramirez (The Bourne Ultimatum, Wrath of the Titans) as Simon Bolivar in Alberto Arvelo Mendoza’s upcoming biopic LIBERTADOR. The film will be told from the perspective of Bolivar and focuses on his attempt to unify South America through various military campaigns. Bolivar is considered to be one of the most influential politicians in American history.
Producer Winfried Hammacher previously remarked that the “universal theme, international cast and acclaimed production team will succeed in making ‘Libertador’ the South American ‘Braveheart’.” Let’s hope so. Children of Men scribe Timothy Sexton provides the screenplay with Danny Huston, Maria Valverde, Imanol Arias, and Gary Lewis rounding out the supporting cast. Image courtesy of THR.
