Trailer drops for movie about escaped Mexican drug cartel leader Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán

By Joshua Fechter Published 3:26 pm, Wednesday, January 6, 2016

If wall-to-wall news coverage wasn't enough, the story of notorious Mexican drug cartel leader Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán's escape from a maximum-security prison last year will soon hit the silver screen.

"Chapo. El escape del siglo" — or "Chapo: The Escape of the Century" — will have a limited engagement in as many as 300 theaters in Mexico starting Jan. 15, Dragon Films spokesman Carlos Olivares told Spanish news agency EFE.

"There's good money in this business and enough for everyone, but when people want more than they deserve, that's where treason comes in," Guzmán, portrayed by little-known actor Irieno Alvarez, says in the film's trailer, which dropped Monday.

The film — which features the tagline "If it was fiction, you wouldn't believe it" — comes only six months after the Sinaloa cartel leader broke out of the Antiplano prison near Mexico City.
