Adrien Brody and Penelope Cruz are set to star in Manolete, says Variety.

The feature, helmed and written by Menno Meyjes, is about legendary matador Manuel Rodriguez Sanchez and his love affair with actress Lupe Sino.

'Manolete' is set in 1940s Spain and tells the story of matador Sanchez's infatuation with Sino, which continued until his death in the bullring in 1947 at 30.

Brody will reportedly travel to Spain in January to work with a bullfighter in preparation for the March 21 start of principal photography.
