Santo Domingo .- "It's going to be a rather difficult task for me," said Michelle Rodriguez to talk about what will be for her to interpret the experience of Minerva Mirabal in the movie "Tropic of blood", which will lead John Delance. The actress, who in films like "Swat", "Resident Evil" and "Girl Fight", has become the image of tough girl, explains that this work is a test, as a woman and as an artist.

Rodriguez gave these statements during the meeting with the media held yesterday at the Hard Rock Cafe, the production team of production Dominican whose story takes place in recent years from the tyranny of Trujilo and the role played by the Mirabal sisters.

This time, trying to get into the skin of heroin in Salcedo, the interpreter will undertake a role far removed from the roles to show the public has become accustomed. But, like Michelle, who now breaks parameters with its strong female characters, Michelle understands that Minerva was "a woman ahead of her time." Michelle explained that the image that has been forged on the screen moves away from the stereotype that Hollywood movies sell. "I do not need to use my sexuality to attract," he said.

The actress said it feels like from here, and he understood that is where is your mother. "I left my mother and I come from there, she is Dominican, Jarabacoa and the capital," he said proudly.

Michelle said to owe her colleague and friend Vin Diesel, the desire to promote film production in our country and gave it to continue to be conducted, and in good shape should teach young people to become involved in that world. "It's very important to think about educating the youth to start to create stability for them to know that we can," said the actress.

The team
Production: Celines Toribio was the master of ceremonies of the event. The communicator will Dedé Mirabal's role in the film to be directed by John Delance. At the press conference were also, the Dominican actor Juan Fernandez, who will make the role of Trujillo and producer Joan Giacinti and Giancarlo Cheshire. The film, which begins shooting in November, will be conducted by Kemasi Films and Cheshire Kat Productions.

Michelle Rodriguez was born in Bexar County, Texas. His father is Puerto Rican and Dominican mother, who divorced in 1986.

Michelle lived in the Dominican Republic with her mother when she was eight years and then in Puerto Rico when she was eleven.

On July 12 will meet next 30 years. Dominican Republic "I have a passion for this site and has to do directly with people. There's a warmth here and I want it sinigual across this story, show the world that Dominican Republic has much love and that message I want to move around the world, a message is universal good and I think that many people will appreciate it we have to say, "he said upon arrival at the meeting with the media. http://www.listindiario.com/app/article.aspx?id=64817

It pretty much says the same things, but here's one good quote not found above:

QUOTE
“The press in the Dominican Republic must put more attention to the aspects to film, to produce, to begin to educate and to create a curiosity in the people of the town, on the connection. With the press the interest begins and with the interest the revolution begins”

Santo Domingo .- Dressed in white and showing an image very different from what you always saw in several of his films, where a woman appears aggressive and rebellious, Dominican mother of actress Michelle Rodriguez entered a room where the press for the first Dominican After the expected.

Surprised many to speak perfect Spanish and the show as they are the real Dominicans.

The first thing was to be the daughter of Puerto Rican father and Dominican mother, for which she was his true identity. And without much thinking said: "I left my mother, and she is Dominican, Jarabacoa and Capital".
Their responses

This was followed by a barrage of questions, which replied with the same security that was able to put the gloves on the tape "Girl fight".
Rodriguez arrived in the country to discuss the role that will Minerva Mirabal in the movie "Tropic of blood," a production of John Delance.

Showing always a big smile, quoted the Hollywood actress called on Dominicans to invest in film from the Dominican Republic, with a good education because the country can become an Hollywood.

"It is important to start investing a lot of money in educating young people here, teach them how to get involved in this world, to have a career that has to do with the development of cinema and production, and because the first big deal in Hollwood thinks that before coming to RD is that they know how to run a film production ", said the actress.

She said that when I spoke to producers in Hollywood on this country will immediately say: "We do not want to worry about who was the light, that there is no water, there is a road with stopper", which is why it is important to invest in youth to prepare themselves and overcome all this. "

Minerva
Her role as Minerva Mirabal is forever interpreting roles that show it as a default. Michelle said it will not be easy to embody this great Dominican heroin and assured that you're carrying a message to the world, tell that story from another perspective, where it appears the Dominican culture, its people, music, architecture and all that has to do with the country.

"Making Minerva, will be a test for me as a person, as an actress, as an adult, as responsible. This brings me to show me otherwise, "he said.


She will be sure that that role well, because this is not the grab or strip to the ground, because it recognizes its past, has much fire in the blood, and you want to teach the world that she is a woman respectful. He asked the press to talk all that.

Her love for RD
  Michelle Rodriguez said it was time to go home, "and proclaim to the world that I have a passion, which goes directly to my people.

Here's a warmth that is unparalleled, and I want, through this story, teach the world that Dominican Republic has much love. " "Tropic of Blood" will begin filming here this year, under the producer Michelle, who shares with Joan Giancinti.
