The Book of Life Movie
In the Mexican town of San Angel, Manolo (Diego Luna), Maria (Zoë Saldana) and Joaquin (Channing Tatum) have been friends ever since childhood. Although their lives have taken different paths — Maria was sent to Europe, Joaquin joined the military, and Manolo studied to become a bullfighter — one thing remains the same: Manolo and Joaquin both want to marry Maria. Little does the trio know that battling husband-and-wife deities have made a high-stakes wager on the love triangle’s outcome.
The Book of Life is a Reel FX & 20th Century Fox movie starring the voices of Diego Luna, Zoe Saldanaand Channing Tatum. It was out in cinemas last year, and will be out on DVD and Blu-ray™ next week on the 16th Feb. We didn’t get the chance to see it in the cinema, so will be watching it for the first time on Monday as part of the viewing party on Twitter.
