The film is based on the book "Columbus Was Portuguese," by Manuel Luciano da Silva and Silvia Jorge da Silva, which claims that Columbus was born in a small town in Portugal's hinterland, called Cuba, in whose honor he named the island of Cuba.
The film will be shot in the U.S. and Portugal and has a very fast turnaround: Its gala premiere is scheduled for July in Washington when Portugal's President Anibal Cavaco Silva is due to make an official visit.
