Wow! I had no idea that Salma has a role in the musical Across the Universe, hitting cinemas on September 28! She plays the role of a nurse in the movie, I found out by watching the trailer. The movie is directed by Julie Taymor (who also directed Frida) and stars Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess, Joe Anderson, Martin Luther, Bono, Eddie Izzard and our Salma, to name a few. Click on the preview below to see the (very) high quality captures I did of the trailer, Salma looks smoking as a nurse!

Here’s the synopsis of Across the Universe:
“A love story set against the backdrop of the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, mind exploration and rock ‘n roll, the film moves from the dockyards of Liverpool to the creative psychedelia of Greenwich Village, from the riot-torn streets of Detroit to the killing fields of Vietnam. The star-crossed lovers, Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), along with a small group of friends and musicians, are swept up into the emerging anti-war and counterculture movements, with ‘Dr. Robert’ (Bono) and ‘Mr. Kite’ (Eddie Izzard) as their guides. Tumultuous forces outside their control ultimately tear the young lovers apart, forcing Jude and Lucy – against all odds – to find their own way back to each other.”

Great news everyone! There seems to be a new Spanish-language project on the horizon for Salma. Read the article below for more info on the movie titled La Banda.
Salma Hayek will star in, and produce, Spanish-language romantic comedy La Banda, aiming the project at her Latin American fan base and as a potential crossover vehicle in the United States.
The independently financed project — centered on Grupero music — will start shooting in Mexico this summer with Rick Schwartz (co-producer on The Departed) and Pepe Tamez also producing. Issa Lopez, who just directed her first feature in Mexico for Warner Bros., is writing and directing.
La Banda is the first Spanish-language job in Mexico for Hayek since she starred in telenovelas more than a decade ago. A soundtrack album, with Hayek performing, also is planned.
Hayek will portray a wealthy housewife who falls on hard times when her husband leaves. She takes a job as a singer for a wedding band while keeping her involvement secret from her high-society friends and family, but it becomes a tricky balancing act as the band gains in popularity.
