Javier Bardem will star in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "Biutiful," the Mexican helmer's first project after his much-publicized bust-up with former screenwriting partner Guillermo Arriaga.
Pic is about a man embroiled in shady dealings who is confronted by a childhood friend, now a policeman. The Spanish-language film, which Gonzalez Inarritu wrote, shoots on location in Barcelona next week.
Arriaga and Gonzalez Inarritu were Mexico's most successful filmmaking duo, starting with their breakout hit "Amores perros" in 2000 and the subsequent leap into Hollywood with English-language pics "21 Grams" and "Babel" that formed a trilogy.
Quibbles over writing credits on the three films came to a head with "Babel" when Arriaga was reportedly shut out from attending its debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 2006.
