The musical film with songs by La Oreja de Van Gogh is already underway and one of the project's big unknowns is starting to clear up: who will bring its protagonists to life. Among the names that have been most talked about on social media is Ana Mena, and the Malaga-born singer herself has just made it clear that she would be delighted to be part of the film. What's more: she has directly offered to audition.
During the promotion of Furia: Parte 2, which arrives this Friday on HBO Max, Ana Mena received a question that seems tailor-made. Would she like to star in the film based on La Oreja de Van Gogh's songs? Her answer left little room for doubt: "It would be a dream, I promise you."
The artist has recognized that La Oreja de Van Gogh is "one of my favorite groups forever and ever" and has recalled that years ago she already saw comments on social media that imagined her as the protagonist of a fiction built around the group's songs. A possibility that, far from seeming crazy to her, she still keeps very much in mind.
And Ana Mena has not stopped at wishing. Looking directly at the production, she has launched a request as clear as it is spontaneous: "Give me an audition, a casting". A whole declaration of intentions that places her, at least by her own will, among the candidates for one of the main roles in the film.

In addition, the singer has experience both in front of the cameras and in musical projects. This year she premiered the second season of Furia, which now returns with Furia: Parte 2, while her career also includes works such as Vive cantando and Marisol. Her co-star in the series, María León, has also given her approval: "I hope it works out for you, it would be history."
The film will be directed by Fernando González Molina, responsible for titles such as Tres metros sobre el cielo, Tengo ganas de ti, and Palmeras en la nieve, and aims to become a kind of Spanish Mamma Mia! with the songs of La Oreja de Van Gogh as the common thread. Now, while the project is looking for its protagonists, Ana Mena has already done her part: she has raised her hand and asked to be auditioned.
