Ricky Martin to star in George Romero filmRicky Martin is going into the movies — and the pop superstar's first flick will be directed by the man who terrified the world with Night of the Living Dead. The Latin heartthrob is in "advanced negotiations" to play a leading role in the political action thriller, The Assassination, according to Douglas Witkins, president of Highland Crest Pictures. And Martin has already agreed to perform the lead song and contribute to the soundtrack, Witkins said. The drama, to start filming in April, will be helmed by George Romero, who grossed out movie audiences in 1968 with his tale of flesh-eating ghouls loose in Pennsylvania. The story is based on the real-life assassination of Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo, who ruled the troubled Caribbean nation from 1930 to 1961. Martin, 29, would play Tavito del al Maza, a heroic revolutionary. Others expected to appear with Martin are Ed Harris, star of Pollock, and acting veterans Anthony Quinn and Oscar-winner James Coburn. Harris would portray the CIA operative who promises weapons and other support for the uprising, Quinn would take the role of Trujillo and Coburn would appear as U.S. Ambassador Joseph Farland. "It will be photographed in Martin's home turf of Puerto Rico and be set in the last tumultuous years of Trujillo's regime, which was known for its lack of respect for human rights," Witkins said. "It details the revolution fomented against the dictator by the CIA and the Kennedy administration, then abandoned at the last minute in the wake of the Bay of Pigs fiasco." The Post has learned Martin's movie debut will primarily be shot in English, with some Spanish segments added. (foxnews)
