Almodóvar comedy boasts the director's best opening ever in his native country (in euros) I'm So Excited / Los amantes pasajeros , the Pedro Almodóvar airplane-set comedy, had the biggest Spanish debut weekend ever for an Almodóvar film -- in terms of box-office receipts (in euros), though apparently not in actual number of movie tickets sold. Distributed by Spanish branch of Warner Bros., the comedy raked in $2.5 million at 298 venues this past weekend (March 8 - 10), thus trailing only -- and by a very small margin -- the Disney-distributed, Sam Raimi-directed Oz the Great and Powerful, which earned $2.61 million at 649 sites, as per box-office numbers found on the web site Box Office Mojo. (Pictured above: I'm So Excited cast members.) Needless to say, the per-theater average for Almodovar's latest -- despite a number of negative reviews in the Spanish media -- was much higher than the one for the $200 million-budgeted Hollywood flick starring James Franco: $8,415 vs.

Pedro Almodóvar I’m So Excited trailer, with Miguel Ángel Silvestre Pedro Almodóvar’s upcoming movie, I’m So Excited / Los amantes pasajeros (literally, "passing lovers" and/or "passenger lovers") has a new and full trailer. That’s the good news. The not-so-good news (for non-Spanish speakers): it’s in Spanish, without subtitles. (Please scroll down to check out the I’m So Excited trailer.) [Photo: Miguel Ángel Silvestre in Pedro Almodóvar's I'm So Excited.] But don’t feel bad if you don’t speak Spanish. After all, even Spanish speakers will likely have to pay close attention to the one-gazillion-words-a-minute dialogue — which would put James Cagney, Joan Blondell, Una Merkel, et al. to shame. I’m So Excited plot I’m So Excited is set on an airplane flying from Spain to Mexico City. If the trailer is any indication, the plane in question has many more staff members than passengers. Perhaps not such a bad thing, considering...

Written and directed by Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar (his 19th feature), I’m So Excited is an ensemble comedy about an impending plane crash that leads various passengers to confess their darkest secrets.
The film, which is said to be more in line with Almodóvar’s earlier work, stars Carlos Areces, Raul Arevalo , Javier Cámara, Lola Dueñas, Carmen Machi, Laya Martí, Cecilia Roth, Hugo Silva, Miguel Ángel Silvestre and Blanca Suárez.
Penélope Cruz, Antonio Banderas and Paz Vega, all regular collaborators, are said to make cameo appearances, though none are visible in the teaser, which instead centers on three flight attendants singing and dancing along to The Pointer Sisters’ infamous pop song I’m So Excited.
I’m So Excited will hit UK cinemas on May 3, and has the potential to be this writer...

We told you last month that Pedro Almodovar planned to complete his The Skin I Live In follow-up, a witty comedy entitled I’m So Excited, aka Los Amantes Pasajeros, next month.
Well, the first trailer for director’s upcoming film set almost entirely on a plane, has arrived and it looks great.
Almodovar is re-teaming with Volver and The Skin I Live In cinematographer Jose Luis Alcaine making it his sixth collaboration with Alcaine, this time to his comedic roots. I’m So Excited is actually an ensemble musical-comedy in the style and same realm as his earlier pictures.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but it’s said to be set against a plane accident with various characters fearing for their lives and confessing their inner secrets, sometimes through song.

Sony Pictures Classics and Pedro Almodóvar are cinematic peanut butter and jelly, a union that is never wrong and has been fruitful for many, many years. So no duh, the arthouse shingle has once again teamed up with the helmer to distribute his next film, "I'm So Excited." No word yet if the Pointer Sisters will be on the soundtrack.
The film, previously known as "Standby Lovers" or "The Brief Lovers," features an ensemble cast of faces new and old, including Javier Cámara, Cecilia Roth, Lola Dueñas, Raul Arévalo, Carlos Areces, Antonio de la Torre, Hugo Silva, Willy Toledo, Miguel Ángel Silvestre, Blanca Suárez, José Luis Torrijo, José María Yazpik, and Laya Martí with special collaborations (ie. cameos) from Penélope Cruz, Antonio Banderas and Paz Vega. Said to be a comedy in the vein of Almodóvar's early films, plot details are under wraps, but it's said to be a comedy...

In a no-brainer deal, Spc have grabbed all North American rights to Pedro Almodóvar’s next project which begins lensing next month. Curiously the pic known as “Los Amantes Pasajeros” with early/translated titles of “The Brief Lovers” and/or “Standby Lovers“, but now appears to now go by The Pointer Sister-esque, I’m So Excited.
Gist: With the almighty cast that includes: Javier Cámara, Cecilia Roth, Lola Dueñas, Raul Arévalo, Carlos Areces, Antonio de la Torre, Hugo Silva, Willy Toledo, Miguel Ángel Silvestre, Blanca Suárez, José Luis Torrijo, José María Yazpik, Laya Martí with special collaborations from Penélope Cruz, Antonio Banderas and Paz Vega, this is about a group of people on the brink of impending disaster.
Worth Noting: Of all the players involved, Cecilia Roth is the one with the longest history with Almodovar – appearing in his earlier films including his debut, 1980′s Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón.
