America Ferrera To Star In American Tragic

America Ferrera is set to play a young soldier’s wife in the upcoming film American Tragic. And because she’s a fucking show-off for whom naming an entire fucking film after herself isn’t enough, she’ll also be executive producing:

Ferrera will exec produce writer-director Ryan Piers Williams’ story of a young soldier (Ryan O’Nan) who has trouble re-adjusting when he returns to his small hometown. He leaves his wife, mother and sister (Ferrera, Leo and June Diane Raphael) to travel the country in search of redemption.

Heather Rae (”Frozen River”) will produce the tentatively titled “Tragic” with exec producer Sergio Aguero (”Y Tu Mama Tambien”). Ferrera’s Take Fountain Prods. will receive production credit. Principal photography is set for a February start in New Mexico.

Maya, a new production and distribution outfit targeting the U.S. Latino market, recently released the Ferrera project “How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer.”

She is saving the world, one Latino movie goer’s twelve dollar movie ticket at a time. We cannot afford to go to movies anymore, America. If you want to count us as your movie-watching public, kindly project your film smack onto the side of our lovely two-family home. Extra points if you shine that shit into our upstairs neighbors’ bedroom windows because we didn’t sleep at all last week thanks to their constant 3 am fights.

Two get ‘Tragic’ for Maya [Hollywood Reporter]
