Kate del Castillo, the star of La Reina del Sur, does not regret becoming a major player in the El Chapo saga but admitted that she “hated” the fact that she had to have a double for Mexico-set scenes of the Telemundo narco drama.
Del Castillo, speaking on day one of TCA, said that she was not able to shoot her scenes of the drama, which returns to the NBCU-backed Spanish-language broadcaster after eight years, because of “her little thing” with the drug lord. However, she revealed that she has since returned to Mexico.
The Jane the Virgin star helped set up a meeting between Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán in 2015 and Sean Penn in 2015. She was not charged with any crimes as a result of the incident but has accused former President Enrique Pena Nieto’s prosecutors of leaking information that she was linked to drug trafficking.

The life, death and resurrection of Jesus has been the subject of many movies and TV series through the years, but Risen is looking to explore a different angle on part that particular story. Check out the first trailer for the film, which features Joseph Fiennes, Tom Felton and Peter Firth. Kevin Reynolds’ film, which he co-wrote with Paul Aiello, follows Roman military tribune Clavius (Fiennes), a firm believer in his empire’s power and someone tasked with removing resistance. But when it appears that Jesus of Nazareth has – in accordance with his followers’ beliefs – risen from the dead after his crucifixion, Pontius Pilate (Firth) assigns Clavius and his aide Lucius (Felton) the task of figuring out the mystery, to avoid an uprising in Jerusalem.It’s certainly a sideways look at the story, and one that hasn’t often been tackled to such a degree. It could prove controversial,...

When you decide to fit in an almost two and a half hour film about a man hiking an 800 kilometer trail through Spain at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival, you do begin to fear whether the time might be better served elsewhere. Arriving at the gorgeous Winter Garden Theatre to ushers handing out booklets, (this film has a guidebook?), only makes you question the decision further. But then director Emilio Estevez came to the stage to help introduce his new work—a very different one from his large ensemble drama Bobby four years back. He began to speak of spirituality and the journey one takes along the Camino de Santiago to find oneself through the long cathartic sojourn. Seeking a way to work with his father and at the same time pay homage to their Spanish ancestry, The Way becomes a very personal quest of comprehending what it is to live.
