Patricia Velazquez is set to star as the wife of Emilio Zapata in Alfonso Arau's long-in-development biopic Zapata. The project is in production in Morelos, Mexico.
The indie biopic sees Latin singing star Alejandro Fernandez star as the late Mexican revolutionary hero elected leader of his village, San Miguel Anenecuilco, in 1909. He went on to organize an army, fighting against repression and for the socialization of the land. Lured to a meeting with government officials, Zapata was assassinated in April 1919.
The script was written by Arau. Velazquez previously starred in the two "Mummy" films and has Renny Harlin's action film Mindhunters.
