Exclusive: THE MINISTERS Teaser Poster!

By El Mayimbe on June 11, 2008

Our good friend Franc. Reyes has exclusively provided us with a first look at the teaser poster for THE MINISTERS.

John Leguizamo gives a tour-de-force performance as fanatical vigilante twins, hell-bent to exact revenge for the death of their parents and brother.   But their plans become undone when one of the twins becomes involved with a beautiful police detective investigating a series of murders.

The Ministers features Harvey Keitel, as senior detective Joe Bruno, who takes police detective Celeste Santana under his wing.  Celeste (played with deep emotional range by Florencia Lozano) links the recent murders with the murder of her police detective father.  Celeste’s investigation and the twins’ vigilante actions begin to converge.  Detective Santana is restrained by her chief, Captain Diaz (Wanda De Jesus).  But the will to solve these crimes and find the link to the death of her father is too great and leads to an inevitable confrontation with the twins.

The Ministers is written and directed by Franc. Reyes (Empire, Illegal Tender) and is inspired by true events. Shot on location in The Bronx, The Ministers is a gritty look at the unforeseen ramifications of race, religion, revenge and ethnic politics.

The Ministers will be the closing film at the New York Latino Film Festival, which runs from July 22 – 27th. For a complete schedule go to: www.nylatinofilm.com

But thats not all!

Reyes will write, direct and executive produce a one hour pilot for HBO entitled "Palladium".  This is an original idea from Reyes and is a Latino themed soap set in Manhattan . The pilot is a gangster related drama about Palladium Bobby Petri who owns New York ’s hottest, Latin-themed club since Studio 54.
