Director Sarah Siegel-Magness has found Castro’s Daughter, according to the Wrap. Maria Full of Grace Oscar nominee Catalina Sandino Moreno will star in the title role of Crash writer Bobby Moresco’s historical drama, as the exiled love child of a 1950s affair between socialite Natalia Revuelta and Fidel Castro, prior to the Cuban dictator seizing control of the government. Producers for Mankind Entertainment and Smokewood Entertainment Group are touting the movie, which will shoot on location in Puerto Rico, as “Evita meets Argo,” since it’s told from the perspective of a woman who flees her homeland and eventually overcomes her father’s grip on her life through self-determination. No word yet on where Ben Affleck’s finely groomed facial hair fits in with all this, however.
