Bad Bunny Will Star in Residente’s Historical Epic Porto Rico

Speaking as a producer, Norton explained that the film aims to capture the spirit of classic dramas like The Godfather and Gangs of New York – movies that are both exciting and thought-provoking, while also exploring the darker side of American history. While the plot hasn’t been officially revealed, the film’s title suggests it’s set in Puerto Rico between 1898 and 1932. This period is significant because the island’s name was changed from Porto Rico to Puerto Rico in 1932, originally altered to the English spelling in 1898 due to concerns that American audiences couldn’t pronounce the Spanish diphthong. According to Variety, the film is based on real events, meaning fans could potentially piece together the entire story simply by researching Puerto Rican history during those years.
