Di Di Hollywood is a 2010 drama film, written, directed and produced by Bigas Luna. It stars Elsa Pataky, Peter Coyote, and Paul Sculfor. It was released in Spain on 15 October 2010.
Diana Diaz (Pataky) is a bar worker that leaves Madrid for Miami. When she reaches Miami, she meets Robert (Hacha) and with him heads for Hollywood, willing to do anything to become famous. When she meets agent Michael McLean (Coyote), he changes her name to Di Di and gives her false hopes of becoming famous. But she discovers that he really just wants to use her in a cover-up relationship with secretly gay actor Steve Richards (Sculfor).
Filming took place in Madrid, Spain;Valencia, Spain; Elche, Spain; Ciudad de la Luz; and the hospital scene was shot in Benidorm, Spain. Filming was shot from October - November 2009.
Variety reviewed is as "the script proves unable to make Di Di’s journey interesting or credible, while the uncharismatic Pataky is unconvincing as star material."
