It has taken a while, but Latin Americans are slowly starting to get more opportunities in major motion pictures. Mia Xitlali, a rising star of Mexican descent, is the latest actor to get an opportunity to make a name for herself on the big screen as he portrays Carmen in Warner Bros.' upcoming film "Max."
Xitlali's career got started at the age of seven when she landed a role in Roger & Hammerstein's "South Pacific" at the Hollywood Bowl. She has appeared in a few short films and continues to do theater work in Los Angeles.
Xitlali recently talked to Latin Post about the experience of working on Boaz Yakin's "Max" which also stars Thomas Haden Church and Lauren Graham among others.
Despite its shortcomings, "Max" should please audiences looking for a family film filled with adventure and lovable dogs. It helps to have a solid cast of characters to lead the way, even if the people we are expected to bond with are people we have met in other iterations, possibly better ones.
After two weekend filled with big blockbusters the studios will continue to crowd the marketplace with more big films. This week the sequel to "Ted" will hit the box office and will attempt to dethrone both "Jurassic World" and "Inside Out."
