'Gone Hollywood' Movie Scenes Shot in McAllen

DateMonday, August 9, 2010 at 12:01PM

Venezuelan international telenovela star Fernando Carrillo was in downtown McAllen Friday filming a scene from his upcoming movie 'Gone Hollywood'.

Appearing in first American film, described as light hearted family movie, Carrillo plays a broke actor named Alberto Vasquez. Vasquez returns to the Valley after inheriting a house and a bar. After spending time with friends and family he'd been away from, Vasquez realizes there's more to life than the glitz and glamour in Hollywood.

Valley native and 'George Lopez Show' star Valente Rodriguez played a big role in convincing the movie's director to shoot the film here.

A casting call drew more than 700 aspiring thespians. Several Valleyites, including two local drama teachers, will be featured in several scenes.

'Gone Hollywood' is expected to be released by the end of the year or early 2011.
