Amenabar was born in Chile, but his mother is Spanish and he and his family came to Spain when he was one year old. He's lived here since then and he's considered Spanish.

And maybe "Agora" isn't historically accurate, but that's never been a problem in Hollywood. I mean, it would be better if they didn't alterate the History or the reality, but the fact is that everyone does it. In Mission Impossible III they showed Spanish people burning statues of saints!

I think Agora will be a great film, anyway.
