I don't know how popular this novel character created by Perez-Reverte is among fellow macnn members. However, I just learnt that the movie will be soon released and I thought that sharing the trailer and some lines on the production (sadly in spanish) may be a good idea.

Alatriste

El pais


I was rapidly seduced by Reverte's Alatriste creation who lived during the spanish gold age (XVII century). Indeed just the first line of his first book got rapidly my atention "He was not the most honest or pious of men , but he was courageous"

Forgot to mention that Viggo Mortensen plays Alatriste. A great choice I think, his spanish is excellent after 9 years living in Argentina. Also, he is kind of obscure but still charming. There's sadness too, very important to play Diego Alatriste y Tenorio.
