Carlos Sanson Jr., Rosario Dawson, George Lopez & Gina Rodriguez To Lead Cast Of ‘House Of Guerrero’
Gina Rodriguez's directorial feature debut, House of Guerrero, has assembled its lead cast, featuring Carlos Sanson Jr., Rosario Dawson, George Lopez and Rodriguez herself. The boxing drama, which has begun production in Los Angeles and California's Imperial Valley, marks a significant moment for Latino representation in Hollywood cinema, with the filmmakers emphasising their commitment to authentically telling the story of a Latino boxing family with deep cultural roots.
The narrative follows Alex Guerrero (Sanson), a boxer attempting a comeback after his promising career was derailed, with his estranged ex-fighter father Alejandro (Lopez) potentially returning to his corner. Confronted with his mother's death and the grief that follows, Alex seeks help from his sister Paloma (Rodriguez), a skilled boxer herself, to retrain him and help him rediscover his fighting spirit. The production is backed by Wayfarer Studios, 1Community and I Can and I Will Productions, with representatives emphasising the exceptional talent assembled and their determination to respectfully honour the profound impact Latinos have had on boxing throughout history.
