Franco, two of the most notable rebels among Mexico’s growing ranks of directors who have cast aside studio formulas. This new generation grew up in a rapidly globalizin­g Mexico following the opening of the country’s closed economy in the 1990s and the end of industry,” he said. “I am giving American actors the chance to do what they should be doing but don’t get the chance to do.”

“Viena” stars Fanning as a young groupie in the thrall of a punk band. “It is her trip to understand that celebrity does not come out of talent in America,” Naranjo said.

Mexico’s directors have developed sophistica­ted styles of filmmaking that have pushed the traditiona­l boundaries of fiction and documentar­ies, winning the top honors at the world’s biggest festivals.

They are limited by ultra-low budgets, around $2 million, but by holding to their personal visions, Mexican filmmakers are attracting big Hollywood actors starved for meatier roles.

Michel Franco, whose bullying-themed “After Lucia” won a top prize at Cannes in 2012, is now editing his first English-language film, “Chronic”, starring Tim Roth.

The 27-year-old star, who separated from the former profession­al ice-hockey player in January 2014, reportedly submitted court documents to end their marriage on Friday (Feb 20) just one day after her 34-year-old estranged husband was accused of propositio­ning women at an upscale restaurant in Beverly Hills, California.

A source told gossip website TMZ.com that the blonde beauty, who has two-year-old son Luca with Mike, cited irreconcil­able difference­s and is seeking primary physical custody of their little boy.

The 34-year-old retired athlete allegedly drunkenly hit on a waitress and another female diner at Mastro’s eatery on January 30 before security had to put him in a taxi home, according to the MailOnline, and sources claim news of the incident marked the last straw for Hilary.

The actress previously insisted their split was amicable and they have frequently been spotted together over the past year.

She also refused to rule out a reconcilia­tion and admitted she still loved Mike in November.

The ‘Younger’ star, who recently moved to New York City to film the show, also previously said: “We’re uncoupled for now...If there wasn’t a chance of getting back [together], we would have filed for divorce...” The former couple got married in August 2010. — BANG Showbiz
