She's a candy girl, alright!
Interesting news here… as Salma Hayek is suddenly all over the place (okay… maybe it's just us but it seems like she’s everywhere right now!) and has now joined MGM, along with her partner Jose Tamez, to create the production label Ventanazul. This new alliance (that sounds more like an intestinal affliction) will acquire, develop and produce Latin-themed material and utilize Latin American and Hispanic talent on both sides of the camera.
MGM chief operating officer Rick Sands said "There's a lot of talent in the Latin community, and a lot of it's been untapped historically. We're going to try and open up that community to Hollywood and pick the material with the most universal themes. Budgets for the mainly English-language projects (2-4 a year) will run from $5 million to $25 million, said Sands, "depending on what the material is and who's in it." Wow. Specific little bugger, isn't he!?
Boob-a-licious Hayek will be apparently in charge of the whole thing, stepping in when she wants, producing when she wants, etc. and little Miss company prexy-CEO will be in a fully equal partnership with MGM. The production deal is the second for MGM after November's announcement of the United Artists rebirthing with Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner.
"Don't be surprised if we do this one or two more times," offered Sands. "It's part of our ongoing strategy to be in business with top content providers, and we were fortunate enough to be able to partner with Tom Cruise, and now Salma." Argh… we wonder if Salma minds having her name spoke in the same sentence as this weirdo.
Oh well… but speaking of Kevin Smith films (and we always are!)… let's take a moment to enjoy Salma’s sweet little pole dancing scene Dogma. Relive the mo HERE. Or visit her snake dancing picture again HERE. There's no such thing as too much Salma!
