Netflix has acquired the rights to Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' for an undisclosed sum and will be adapting it into a Spanish-language TV series.
Fans of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's magical realism novel"One Hundred Years of Solitude" will get a chance to see the multigenerational tale unfold on Netflix.
"For decades our father was reluctant to sell the film rights to Cien Anos de Soledad because he believed that it could not be made under the time constraints of a feature film, or that producing it in a language other than Spanish would not do it justice," Rodrigo Garcia, Garcia Marquez's son, said in a statement Wednesday.
Garcia Marquez, a Nobel Prize-winning author, died in 2014 at age 87. His sons Rodrigo Garcia and Gonzalo Garcia Barcha will act as executive producers on the project, which is set to be filmed predominantly in Colombia. Netflix has found a global audience for Spanish-language films and series. Alfonso Cuaron's"Roma" moved to the streaming service after a brief theatrical run and went on to garner 10 Oscar nominations and three wins for best director, best cinematography and best foreign language film.
