The scene with the two great actors, one French and the other American, was done inside the hall of the MiniHollywood Village.

Actors Vincent Cassel and Chazz Palminteri are currently shooting an advertising spot in the town of MiniHollywood in Tabernas. Yesterday, there was a great filming atmosphere in this town. Visitors were able to access the facilities except for the Salon that was occupied for the filming of said advertisement that has to do with cryptocurrencies.

It is a great production, since it has had more than 100 figuration people, with a very original period costume together with the two veteran actors, who arrived in a high-end car to the hall and after an hour and a half inside they left again.

Visitors were no strangers to the shooting, but many asked if it was a movie and which actors were in the village. When they found out that one of them was Monica Bellucci's ex-husband, they really reached for cell phones and looked for the actor on the networks. Everyone was surprised by his presence, especially when it was an advertisement.

Some dancers who had come from Malaga to shoot one of the initial scenes inside the hall also participated.

 Vincent Cassel married Monica Bellucci in 1999, whom he met during the filming of L'appartement (1996). Their separation was made public on August 26, 2013, through a statement.

He married French model Tina Kunakey. In addition to French, his native language, Cassel speaks Portuguese, English, Italian, Spanish and a little Russian, which he learned in preparation for his role on Eastern Promises. Since 2013, he has lived in Rio de Janeiro.

Chazz Palminteri is an American actor and playwright who was nominated for an Academy Award in 1994 for the film Bullets Over Broadway. He is known for his performance in films such as The Usual Suspects, A Bronx Tale, and Mulholland Falls.

 His great success came in 1988 with his play A Bronx Tale, which would be made into a film in 1993. The Bronx has considerable influence on his work, particularly on A Bronx Tale, a 1989 play he wrote and then adapted into a film in 1993, directed by and starring Robert De Niro. Thanks to his participation in Allen's film he was nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actor, but lost to Martin Landau (Ed Wood).
