NEW YORK (AP) — Javier Bardem is confident that audiences in America will enjoy “The Good Boss” as much as moviegoers in Spain when the film arrives in the U.S. later this month. “When we were doing screenings in Los Angeles and New York and some other places in the states, when we were presenting the movie for the Oscars, the theaters were packed and people were laughing and having a great time and also, (gasp), holding their breath at the end when they understand what they were laughing about,” Bardem said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. Fernando León de Aranoa’s satire about corporate corruption opens August 26 in New York and Los Angeles before a nationwide rollout that comes months after the film won six Goya Awards (Spain’s equivalent to the Oscars) and was shortlisted to the Academy Award for best international feature film.
