Antonio Banderas Puts on his Dancing Shoes

By James Wray Feb 3, 2005, 11:32 GMT

Antonio Banderas stars in the forthcoming 'The Legend of Zorro'.
Antonio Banderas has been cast in New Line Cinema's forthcoming dance drama "Take the Lead."

The Hollywood Reporter says the movie is inspired by the true story of international ballroom dancer Pierre Dulane. Banderas will play a former professional dancer who volunteers to teach dance in New York. When his ballroom methods clash with his students' hip-hop instincts, he solves the problem by meeting them half-way to create a new style of dance and becomes their mentor in the process.

Dianne Houston wrote the screenplay and filming is due to start in Toronto at the end of spring.

Banderas will next be seen in "The Legend of Zorro," sequel to the successful "Zorro." You can read more about that movie on our database.
