Sneak Peek: Andy Garcia, Dustin Hoffman, Bill Murray In Lost City

Andy Garcia is one of those actors that we appreciate more and more over the years. He's done some excellent work in several big motion pictures and although he is well respected in the industry, he may be a little underrated to film audiences in general. It's nice to see Garcia step into the director's chair with his new film Lost City.

According to the press release, the film is set to premiere in New York, LA and Miami on the 28th of this month. DVD Confidential favorite Bill Murray also stars in the film and Dustin Hoffman rounds out the cast. Nice.

Here is the official information on Lost City, direct from Magnolia Pictures:

"Andy Garcia (Modigliani) stars and makes his directorial debut in a passionate and historical tribute to his native Cuba. Havana in 1958 is a place of pleasure for many, but others are not happy under the rule of dictator Fulgencio Batista. As the revolutionary forces of Fidel Castro and Ernesto “Che” Guevara prepare to move on the city, Fico Fellove (Garcia)—owner of the city’s classiest music nightclub, El Tropico—struggles to hold together his family and the love of a woman (Inés Sastre), not knowing that his club will become more than just a stage for popular entertainment. Observing all is The Writer (Bill Murray) an ex-patriot American who sees Fico being drawn into events as the revolution changes everything. Though Fico watches a culture vanish and a people transformed, it is his love of Cuban music that keeps his memories alive. Co-starring Dustin Hoffman and Steven Bauer. Written by Cuban novelist Guillermo Cabrera Infante."
