Q’orianka Kilcher, the actress of Peruvian descent who appeared in Dora and the Lost City of Gold, will star opposite Channing Tatum in the upcoming comedy movie Dog. The film, which marks Tatum’s directorial debut, will premiere February 18.

Dog is a non-traditional buddy comedy in which the two friends are a man and a pooch, both with military backgrounds.

The film follows the misadventures of two former Army Rangers members paired against their will on the road trip of a lifetime. A tragedy brings together U.S. Army Ranger Briggs (Tatum) and Lulu, a Belgian Malinois, who must buckle into a 1984 Ford Bronco and race down the Pacific Coast to make it in time to the funeral of the soldier who was the dog’s handler and beloved companion. The trip is not easy for the two strong personalities who drive each other nuts, break a handful of laws, narrowly evade death and learn to let down their guards to have a fighting chance.

Kilcher will play Niki, an ex-partner of Tatum’s Briggs with whom she has a little daughter. Niki has raised the child by herself and is not ready to get back together with the army ranger.

The MGM feature is produced by Gregory Jacobs, Peter Kiernan, Brett Rodriguez, with the latter also sharing writing credits with Reid Carolin. Carolin also co-directs with Tatum.

Before that, she played Incan Princess Kawillaka in the Paramount Player’s film Dora and the Lost City of Gold. In 2018 she starred in as Mary Palmer in the Golden Globe-nominated series from Anonymous Content The Alienist.

The Peruvian-American thespian may be best known for her portrayal of Pocahontas opposite Colin Farrell and Christian Bale in Terrence Malick’s 2005 film The New World. That role won her the National Board of Review’s best breakthrough performance and the Alma Award for best Latin American actress in a feature film.

He later worked as an assistant to Tatum in three films, Fighting, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Dear John, in which he also worked as a stunt player. His first and producing film credit is the 2017 HBO documentary War Dog: A Soldier’s Best Friend, which Tatum exec produced.

On February 10, prior to the film’s premiere, Tatum and Rodriguez will participate in a live discussion and Q&A about their new movie for The United Service Organizations Inc., a nonprofit that provides live entertainment, such as comedians, actors and musicians, social facilities, and other programs to members of the United States Armed Forces and their families.

It was recently announced that El Gato Negro comic book, created by Richard Dominguez, is coming to Apple TV. Set in South Texas, the comic book tells the story of two crime-fighting characters El Gato Negro, a luchador and his grandson Francisco Guerrero who avenge the death of Francisco’s best friend by drug-smugglers with all the twists and turns along the way. 

Robert Rodriguez, best known for Once Upon a Time in Mexico, has signed on to direct and executive produce the series along with singer and actor Diego Boneta (Rock of Ages)  who is set to play Francisco and is producing the series through his company Three Amigos. MGM Television is in the early development phase of the project; Joel Novoa will co-produce.

Boneta has been developing this project for a while, and it was losing stream until he met up with writer Eric Carrasco (Supergirl) during San Diego Comic-Con, whose pitch infused new energy into the project. In addition, Boneta’s long-standing relationship with MGM (Luis Miguel series) and Rodriguez clout, is just what the project needed to get off the ground.

El Gato Negro, rooted deeply in Latinx culture, with its comedy and dramatics, is just what America needs as we face unprecedented racism against our Latinx community. A release date hasn’t been announced.

Dominguez conceived El Gato Negro in the mid-to-late ’80s and in 1993 and printed 5,000 comic books which sold out within two months

El Gato Negro was created or “born” when I was sketching on my notebook paper and in binders during (when I was supposed to be taking notes) classes in a community college…He was originally supposed to be a member of an all-Hispanic superhero group which I called “Team Tejas”. I later became partial [to] this particular character and put my emphasis on him and put the rest of the team in the “backburner”           — Richard Dominguez

In an interview in Deadline, Boneta said of collaborating with his friend Mark Burnett (Burnett executive produced Luis Miguel: La Serie where Boneta played the lead), and MGM. “I know that bringing this Latin superhero-led series to the screen is a great responsibility and a huge challenge, but I couldn’t have a better partner than MGM.”

Boneta is repped by UTA in the U.S. and Jorge Mondragon in Mexico City.
