Anthony Hopkins and Annette Bening will star with Andy Garcia in "Hemingway and Fuentes."

Garcia will direct from a script he wrote with Hilary Hemingway, granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway.

The drama chronicles the two decades that Hemingway spent in Cuba fishing with his best friend, Gregorio Fuentes. There, the author fell in love with a beautiful Italian girl who inspired him to write "The Old Man and the Sea."

Hopkins will play Hemingway, Garcia will play Fuentes, and Bening will play the author's third wife, Mary Welsh Hemingway.

According to Variety, Garcia will produce, and Mark Amin of Sobini Films will executive produce.

Shooting would begin next summer in the Caribbean rim, and a location to replicate Ketchum, Idaho, where Hemingway moved and committed suicide shortly thereafter.
