Usually, Antonio Banderas plays the suave ladies man, too cool for his own good, making guys wish they were him. But famed director Pedro Almodovar has different ideas for the Spanish heartbreaker.

In The Skin That I Inhabit Banderas sheds his lady-killer comfort suit and trades it for a lab coat. He’ll be playing a doctor who will either be getting revenge on the men who raped his daughter, or a doctor who is creating a skin with which he could have saved his wife who died in a car accident years before. There are too many sources equally spouting both of those synopses that it’s impossible to tell which is right. However, the book by Thierry Jonquet is about the latter so expect that.

Either story sounds interesting and c7nema.net has the first image from the film. Banderas seems to have been able to pull off creepy here, but it’s hard to tell what exactly he’s going to do with Patrick Stewart all marked up. Scope out the picture below and check back often to find out exactly what to expect out of Almodovar’s next.
