Bad Bunny Lands First Lead Acting Role in "Porto Rico," Directed by Residente, with Javier Bardem, Viggo Mortensen, Ed Norton

Residente directs his debut film starring Bad Bunny in a historical drama about Puerto Rico's transformation, co-written with Alexander Dinelaris and executive produced by Alejandro González Iñárritu.

  • Producers announced Wednesday that Bad Bunny will star in 'Porto Rico' with René Pérez Joglar directing his debut.
  • Longtime collaborators Pérez Joglar and Bad Bunny said `I have dreamed of making a film about my country since I was a child` and called it a reaffirmation of who we are.
  • Co-Written by Residente and Alexander Dinelaris, Academy Award–winning screenwriter, the cast includes Javier Bardem, Viggo Mortensen, and Edward Norton, with Alejandro González Iñárritu as executive producer.
  • With the film in pre-production, Bad Bunny's role is considered his biggest yet following his recent career milestones of three Grammys and a Super Bowl halftime show watched by over 120 million viewers.
  • By evoking the archaic name Porto Rico, the film centers on Jose Maldonado Roman, known as `Aguila Blanca`, and spans Puerto Rico's history between 1898 and 1932 with a visceral, lyrical approach.
