My company did the poster design and website (http://www.palladinmovie.com) for it, so it's really cool to see it doing so well!

I was just checking IMDB.com a while ago to see if there was any news of it being out, and saw that it had a 2008 release date, so I hoped it would see the light of day. Now to hope it makes it to Madison. We have a Sundance theater, so that may be the best bet. Thanks for the update, Derrick.

It premiered at the Cartagena film festival in Colombia. Having been to Antigua earlier in the year I enjoyed it immensely. The acting is top notch, the scenery is beautiful, the music is well done, the plot is a bit dopey and sentimental for my tastes but I didn't let my cynicism ruin my enjoyment. Seeing it outdoors on a big screen under the stars drinking rum in a beautiful city with a beautiful Colombian girl helped too :) I actually saw this movie last week.

In a country as richly diverse as Guatemala, the range of subjects for stories is far wider than civil war and poverty. And while it sounds like Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" is supposed to be a movie to boost Mayan pride, I'm wary of Mel Gibson's take on things. I'll go for the indie films like "Palladin" first.

I did some research and found out that it has some serious actor's in it, such as the legendary Ben Gazzara, Oscar winner Talia Shire, as well as a host of Mexican and Guatemalan stars. We must tip our hat to "American" indie producers for bringing these actors to a country like Guatemala and avoiding the Cliche subject matters. Although neither the producer's name, nor the director's suggests that they are American. But I guess that is the new wave in the land of the Gringos. This films sounds very interesting.
