Exile Content Studio and N&L Films have struck a first-look development deal. Jeff Glaser, who oversaw Netflix production finance in Mexico City and Madrid, has joined N&L Films.
N&L’s first slate include a Mexican remake of “Miracle in Cell No. 7” and “Aristides: A Righteous Life,” the true-life account of a Portuguese diplomat who saved thousands from the Nazis in WWII, from Seanne Winslow. N&L is also in conversations with Lluis Quilez and Fernando Navarro, the director and writer, respectively, of Netflix Top 10 non-English movie “Below Zero,” to develop a true-crime film based on a serial murderer dubbed “El Jack el Destripador de Almería.”
Mayne is working on a sequel to Netflix’s “A pesar de todo” with young Spanish writing duo Ana Puentes and Javier Aguayo, and on sci-fi-thriller “Paradoxum,” from scribes Manolo Campos and “The Boat” writer Gonzalo Navas. “I want to make films that entertain, empower and inspire. I believe in cinema as entertainment,” Mayne told Applying the same thinking he used at Netflix, he intends to “identify opportunities, make films for underserved audiences.” Three examples he cited are young adult movies, genre pics and “good family entertainment.”
