Spanish director who gave Penelope Cruz her break dies aged 67 Posted: 06 Apr 2013 08:11 AM PDT April 06, 2013 Spanish film director Bigas Luna during a photocall to present his film 'Didi Hollywood' in Madrid on October 13, 2010. Bigas Luna has died aged 67 after a long struggle with cancer, Spanish media reported Saturday. — AFP-Relaxnews picMADRID, April 6 —Jose Juan Bigas Luna, a Spanish director and screenwriter who gave Penelope Cruz her first big screen break, has died aged 67 after a long struggle with cancer, Spanish media reported today. Bigas Luna, as he was simply known, directed more than a dozen films over his 35-year career. Perhaps his best-known for international audiences was "Jamon Jamon" (1992), a raunchy comedy which starred newcomer Cruz and up-and-coming fellow Spanish actor Javier Bardem. Both Cruz and Bardem went on separately to Hollywood careers and later became a real-life couple, marrying in 2010. A decade before "Jamon Jamon", Bigas Luna had tried his own hand in Hollywood, making "Reborn" with Dennis Hopper in the lead, but the movie garnered little notice. Bigas Luna kept working in Spain up to his death. In recent months he was preparing to film in his native city of Barcelona a movie called "Second Origin", a science fiction tale about Earth after an apocalyptic alien attack. — AFP-Relaxnews

Gorbachev, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 will take part in the project as a consultant. John Shiban, the screenwriter behind "X-Files" and "Hell on Wheels," will be responsible for writing the story of this political leader who led the USSR from 1985 and 1991 with a policy of openness toward Western nations. His time in power was marked by his commitment to ending the Cold War, his contribution to reuniting Germany and the introduction of perestroika and glasnost. The TV film came about after DiCaprio and Gorbachev met as part of the environmental documentary "The 11th Hour" (2007). — AFP-Relaxnews
