Goldwyn grabs 'Goya's Ghosts'

February 13, 2007 Milos Forman's "Goya's Ghosts," starring Javier Bardem, Natalie Portman and Stellan Skarsgard as Spanish artist Francisco Goya, has been picked up for North American distribution by Samuel Goldwyn Films. The story follows their personal trials from the late 18th century through the tortured girl's release from prison after Napoleon's invasion of Spain. 'Ghosts' is a love story and a violent political story and a wonderful woman's story about a fascinating period in history and the effect of the Inquisition's lives as seen through the eyes of Goya.
