Sony Pictures Intl. Prods. and, a major new independent production player in the Spanish-speaking world, are teaming to produce a Mexican version of breakout Cuban feature “Juan of the Dead,” with Emilio Portés directing.
Directed by Kike Maillo, “Barcelona Trilogy” is a terrorist thriller series written by Xabi Puerta, co-produced by Karen and Howard Baldwin, Tod Slatter and Jeff Berg. El Estudio is backed by Inicia, the parent company of Lantica Media, which owns/operates Pinewood Dominican Republic Studios. Lopez Lavigne, Cruz and Suárez have produced a total 45 movies and 10 series over the last 10 years, their movies accumulating to date $620 million in global box office.
Joining forces in a multi-territory alliance, El Estudio is making a virtue out of a new market necessity. “To be a reference in the Spanish-speaking premium content world, gain bargaining power and deliver on what we promise, we need to unite, which gives access to bigger finance, allowing for bigger budgets,” said Suarez.
Luna’s “Abel” and “Chávez,” produced with John Malkovich’s L.A.-based Mr. Mudd, Cary Joji Fukunaga’s “Sin Nombre,” with Focus Features, and turning Gerardo Naranjo’s “Miss Bala” into a 2019 Sony U.S. remake.
