If Steven Spielberg were to take a trip to Cuba these days\u2015if he could do it even in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic\u2015he would surely film the second part of Catch Me If You Can<\/em>, that so-much-liked film based on the life of famous swindler Frank Abagnale Jr. that Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Hanks starred in 18 years ago. Only instead of narrating the persecution around the world of the elusive Abagnale by a stubborn FBI agent, its sequel would take place mostly in a digital environment and would reflect the countless vicissitudes of those who try to buy the different products that Cuban online stores sell today.<\/p>\n
