FILM 1898: SPANGLISH



FILM 1898: SPANGLISH

TRIVIA: There was a translator on the set as Paz Vega did not speak English and Writer and Director James L. Brooks did not speak Spanish.

The chefs and cooks used in the kitchen scene are actual Le Cordon Bleu students from the nearby cooking school in Pasadena, California.

Shot in sequence.

Adam Sandler turned down the role of Max in Collateral (2004) to do this film.

Eva Longoria and Eva Mendes auditioned for the role of Flor before Paz Vega was ultimately cast.

The tape that Flor uses to learn English is a real tape. 

Sarah Steele gained approximately fifteen pounds for her role as Bernice. She is usually either a size 1 or 2.
