...Mexico. "For a country like Venezuela, it's really the only way to build a cinema infrastructure," says the adviser. As for the built-in politics of the Toussaint story, he likens it to other liberation struggles such as that of Scottish hero William Wallace, brought to the screen 12 years ago by Glover's Lethal Weapon co-star, Mel Gibson, in Braveheart...
