Film about escape of "El Chapo" arrives in Mexican movie theaters

The spectacular escape of drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" (Shorty) Guzman from prison last July had all the ingredients for a movie and a feature film chronicling his breakout will hit Mexican theaters on Jan. 15, the distributor told EFE.

"Chapo. El escape del siglo" (Chapo: The Escape of the Century), directed by Axel Uriegas, will be screened at between 120 and 300 theaters across the country, Dragon Films representative Carlos Olivares said.

The film is cloaked in mystery since the producers have not released much information about the story, but Olivares revealed that this would be the first chapter in a Guzman saga.

"It will be a series of four movies telling 'El Chapo's' life in reverse. The first is about his escape, his human side, and Mexico's political situation," Olivares said.

The secrecy surrounding the production has raised the profile of the little-known team working on the movie, starting with the director.


The 36-year-old Uriegas has so far worked on second-tier projects, such as the Mexican movie "Casi divas" and Hollywood movies, including "The Legend of Zorro."

The actors are not famous either. Irineo Alvarez, who plays El Chapo, has a long list of secondary roles on Latino TV soap operas, such as "El señor de los cielos" and "Capadocia."

"That was the intent, not to have a well-known actor so that there wouldn't be any preconceived ideas" about how the main character would be presented, Olivares said.

In the 90-second trailer for the film, Alvarez says: "There's good money in this business and enough for everyone, but when people want more than they deserve, that's where treason comes in."

The fictional Guzman also provides the motive for his July 11 escape through a 1.5-kilometer (one-mile) tunnel connecting his cell at the Altiplano maximum-security prison to an abandoned house.

"I began noticing that the 'gringos' (Americans) and the president were cooking something. It didn't feel right to me, so I ordered the tunnel built," Chapo says, referring to the extradition request from the United States.

Guzman, who was born in 1957, got his start in the drug business as a lieutenant of Miguel Angel Felix-Gallardo, the top leader of the Guadalajara cartel, in the 1980s.

Felix-Gallardo's arrest and prosecution in 1989 led to the Guadalajara cartel being divided up and Guzman relocating to Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state, and founding the Sinaloa cartel.

Guzman was eventually captured in 1993 in Guatemala and sent back to Mexico, where he was convicted on bribery charges.

On Jan. 19, 2001, Guzman escaped from the Puente Grande penitentiary in the western state of Jalisco, pulling off the Hollywood-style jailbreak by hiding in a cart full of dirty laundry in front of guards.

Mexican authorities finally caught up with him in February 2014 in the resort town of Mazatlan.

After his second escape, authorities said in October they were close to capturing the drug lord again in a hilly area in Sinaloa and he apparently sustained injuries to his face and a leg.

There have been rumors about Guzman's whereabouts, several of them placing him in different places in Latin America, a topic that the movie also touches on.

"Honey, why don't we go to Brazil?" a woman with an Argentine accent asks in the trailer.

Only the real Guzman has the answer.

They will tell the real story & not be scared of someone wearing a Mickey Mouse mask running up behind like a coward & shooting them. This producer had to "walk on egg shells". He had to omit a lot of stuff because he was afraid it would not approve.

In the underworld of drug trafficking ANYTHING GOES including murder or ridding your competition by making some phone calls. Chapo a snitch? Who knows. Does he have power to get rid of anyone who stands in his way YES. The Supreme Art of War is to defeat your enemy without fighting which Chapo is the King of.

  11. most of the Mexicans that look up to Chapo are from sinaloa, most other mexicans can care less. but sinaloa people worship him like a god. Why? Don't know? he hasn't done anything good for Mexico, if anything he leaves Mexicans suffering. In sinaloa there are alot of women because alot of men get killed involving the drug game. But theylove that "narco cultura" it's normal for them and will never change. there will never be autodefenzas because they want that eazy money. Sinaloa will claim they don't need autodefenzas because chapo has sinaloa under control, but just look at the news, Sinaloa is a mess. Just saying...

    1. Some areas of Mexico, the education system is so bad that its citizens are basically morons. That's why they look up to these idiotic cartels. That's why they embrace thugs like Chapo....they don't know any better. They only see $$$ signs because the Mexican government has failed time and time again at establishing a strong economy, which would help the people that are poor and keep them from looking for work from cartels. Its a viscous cycle that will never end until the citizens get smart and stop embracing the narco lifestyle. I don't feel bad for the people of Mexico because they bring it on themselves. They look up to the cartel bosses, stay quiet when their own people get kidnapped and slaughtered, and are willing to sacrifice their own families to earn a few quick pesos!! Its the lack of education and opportunities in Mexico and nothing will change until those two things change.

      Delete
    2. The narco cultura is entrenched in Sinaloa because the government doesn't see Northwestern Mexico as a valuable asset as far as an industrial complex. Sinaloa ain't a mess. It's a war zone between cartels and cartels only. Read that last sentence again and let it sink in. There will never be autodefensas in Sinaloa or Northwest mexico because the cartels there don't terrorize the general population ala michoacan, Guerrero, jalisco, D.F. Aqui no existe el terror, aqui si ajustan las quentas.

    3. I know of lots of non sinaloas who worship and act dress talk like there from culiacan some one said "asta los ke no son de mi estado me dicen paisano" but what they dont see is sinaloas trying to live like arabs in dubai

    4. This isn't true. ALL Sinloas DONT look up to Chapo. Chapo is revered because he came from nothing but he's not worshipped. People their "protect" him because they know the government is far more corrupt (both sides of the border) so no one care to turn him in. I can tell you most just want to live life to the fullest with family and friends.

    6. 12:42pm You're factually wrong when you say Mexico hasn't established a strong economy. It's among the strongest in the world, out of more than 200 countries Mexico's economy is usually between 12th or 15th strongest although it doesn't transalate into high paying jobs for everyone.

    9. Minimum wages was raised $2.82 pesos, some say per hour, and it may well be the case, but most employers will say it is PER DAY, 8 HOUR SHIFT, THAT MAY INCLUDE OVERTIME, AFTER 48 HOURS, NOT DAILY, AND THAT INCLUDES NO PAY RISE BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT ON THE DEAL...your work week in mexico is 6 days.
      -only Sundays could be voluntarily paid time and a half and selectively include the pay rise...

Might not be the best way, but it might of been his only way. Besides I see ppl profiting from him anyway. I see shirts, hats, songs, movies, statues, etc...etc...why you mad for?
