America Ferrera, aka “Ugly Betty,” is set to step back into the executive producer role for her new film with Maya Entertainment, American Tragic. The Sister of the Traveling Pants is set to act in the film as well. After playing an unflattering caricature of a nerdy loser, its great to hear that Ferrera is sinking her teeth into something more substantial along the lines of Real Women Have Curves.
I bet you didn’t know that Ferrera had executive produced before, did you? She exec produced a film called How The Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer, with Maya. Maya Entertainment just so happens to be a Hispanic studio and the flick seems to be part-Hispanic as well. Sergio Aguero (Y Tu Mama Tambien) will lend a hand and co-executive produce along with little miss Ferrera. Maya Entertainment chairman states "We hope that this is validation of the job we did on Garcia Girls.” .
Variety reports that Ryan Piers Williams will pen the script and direct. With only a short called Muertas under his belt, Tragic has the potential to be just that. Hopfully Aguero’s role behind the scenes will be big enough to catapult this little film into indie gold territory.
The film will have Ferrera playing the wife of a returned soldier who sets out to find himself after the war. The young vet will be played by newb, Ryan O’Nan, and he will go on a road trip with a comrade. Melissa Leo (Frozen River) will play his mother. I like what I’m hearing. Maybe this will be the little part-Hispanic indie that could.
