Jerry Rivera
The representatives of the 33 Chilean miners, whose remarkable rescue from the San José Mine last year have announced that Academy Award-nominated producer Mike Medavoy (Black Swan, Shutter Island) has entered into an agreement to bring the Miners’ extraordinary to the screen. José Rivera, the Academy Awardnominated screenwriter for Motorcycle Diaries, is set to adapt the story. José Rivera is represented by ICM. The film will recount the events surrounding the mine’s collapse, their survival while trapped 69 days a half a mile underground and the subsequent rescue efforts.
“Like millions of people around the world, I was completely engrossed watching the rescue at Copiapó. At its heart, this is a story about the triumph of the human spirit and a testament to the courage and perseverance of the Chilean people. I can’t think of a better story than this one to bring to the screen,” said Medavoy.
The expected CD of salsa performer Jerry Rivera is already for sale
The new disk of the praised singer Jerry Rivera, “The Love Exists”, for sale since July 26.
The new record production of Jerry Rivera is a true musical jewel for the lover of Tropical music, and particularly the salsa dancer.
“I’m very please and enthusiastic for launching my fifteenth album thanks to the great family of VeneMusic that joined me in this project. The acceptance that has had Alone I think about you – in only weeks arrived at the first place – is an advancement of what comes in this new phase of Jerry Rivera”, assured the artist.
The album, which was produced by the same artist for the seal VeneMusic, is composed of nine themes, of which six were successes for artists as Franco de Vita, Guillermo Dávila and Ricardo Montaner – Only I think about you, Will Be, All the light, does Not suffice, I that loved you and Alone with a kiss – but now they are presented in salsa beat with the majestic fixed arrangements of Ramón Sánchez.
And as prelude of the exit of its new album, the Puerto Rican artist dominates again the list of radial popularity after being positioned in the top (No.1) of the ‘market analysis’ Tropical Songs of Billboard Magazine by second consecutive week with its new simple Alone one I think about you. This success carries him upon being the 4º artist (drawing Juan Luis War) that more songs has carried to the No. 1 in the market analysis since Billboard began to report in 1995.
