“I have been trying to tell this story for more than 30 years. It was always impossible: too big, too expensive, just always ‘too.’ Finally, I have found a home and creative partners with the talent and vision and a technology that will allow moviegoers to witness in some form events that took place more than 500 years ago. The facts of that time (the arrival of the Spaniards, the battles, the eventual fall of the astonishing city of Tenochtitlan) are rich and complicated, and many are disputed. Our goal is to tell one story – not the story, because there are many sides to it. We want to entertain, to give viewers a glimpse of the clash between two very different, almost alien cultures. We are, and we must be, bold in this.”
