Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán's lawyer, José Refugio Rodríguez, said drug lord still wants the movie to be made but that the accused drug lord won't contribute money to it.

"He wants it to be done," Rodríguez said, adding that Guzmán's belief is that Del Castillo is still in charge of the project. Del Castillo has not commented directly on whether the movie plans are still on.

"I know that Kate is Mr. Joaquín Guzmán's representative ... she is authorized to do it," he said. "And he told me Monday that the movie has to go forward."

Rodríguez said Guzmán's involvement would be to authorize the use of his name and story.
