Acclaimed actor Diego Luna had never before sung in a movie, and no one was more surprised and thrilled when he pulled it off in the colourful and vibrant world of “The Book of Life” (3D) directed by Mexican auteur Jorge R. Gutierrez.
“Diego called me [after the first song recording session] and was very, very happy,” Gutierrez recalls. “He said, ‘Jorge, I can sing!’ And I love his voice in the movie.” Luna takes on the role of Manolo, a conflicted hero and dreamer who sets off on an epic quest through magical, mythical and wondrous worlds in order to reunite with his one true love and defend his village.
