Mexico's favorite son is returning to the big screen.
Timed to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the creation of Santo - the enormously popular masked wrestler who made as big a mark on the big screen as in the ring - Babel and Amores Perros writer Guillermo Arriaga and The Crime Of Father Amaro director Carlos Carrera are teaming to create documentary feature Santo, El Enmascadoro De Plata.
Arriaga has penned the script for the film, which Carrera directs with narration by El Hijo de El Santo - The Son Of Santo. The film promises rare footage, including shots of Javier Solis - the man under the mask - singing and shots of the secret mausoleum where he is buried.
