Before reading further, please note that the series involves traumatizing events related to sexual abuse and trauma.

Actor Javier Ray – whose most notable work so...

Oriol Paulo has made a name for himself producing complex thriller films that keep audiences guessing. His work is known for imaginative plots and ambiguities that stay with viewers long after the final scene.

Spanish filmmaker Félix Viscarret, known for tackling such heavy subject matter as the Basque conflict (“Patria”), crime in the Cuban capital Havana (“Four Seasons in Havana: Winds of Lent”) and psychological drama (“Staring at Strangers”), has made perhaps his most personal film yet with a touching and engrossing story of fatherhood and the pitfalls of success.

In “Not Such an Easy Life,” 40-year-old Isaías (Miki Esparbé), a once promising young architect, is struggling to balance career and family, wanting to raise his young children while desperate to achieve the fleeting professional success he once enjoyed as he strives against more ambitious rivals.

For Viscarret, Isaías’ challenges very much reflect his own experiences, which resulted in “Not Such an Easy Life.”

“Perhaps it was a cluster of special situations that I began to live with as a parent,” he tells Variety.

“For example, one day I saw all my childless friends leave for a premiere party,...

Set and shot north of Barcelona in Manresa, “You Would Do It Too,” from David Victori, is a lightning-fast eight-part half-hour thriller following a bus heist gone awry. Written and directed by Victori, it is also the first Spanish production resulting from an alliance struck between Legendary Television and Spain’s Espotlight Media.

Victori will travel to Miami and speak at the New Talent Modela panel at Content Americas on Jan. 25 as Legendary Television, who hold worldwide rights, aim to close a deal for Latin America off the Miami conference.

Also created by Victori, the series will debut exclusively on Disney+ in Spain. Anne Thomopoulos (Legendary) and Anxo Rodríguez (Espotlight) co-produce the series, which is a natural next step for a director who has been building a canon of thrillers through the years.

Victori moved waves winning the 2012 YouTube Your Film Festival with short film “The Guilt,” beating out 15,000 submissions...

"I think you're guilty. And sooner or later, I always catch the guilty ones." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a Spanish thriller titled A Man of Action, also known as Un Hombre de Acción in Spanish. The film is loosely inspired by the life of Lucio Urtubia, that explores the figure of the Spanish who pulled off a legendary counterfeiting operation in Paris that landed him in the crosshairs of America's biggest bank. Another description for this adds "an anarchist targets one of the world's biggest banks with an ingenious counterfeiting operation." From his humble beginnings as a bricklayer turned bank robber, to taking the lead in one of the most important economic shenanigans of the last century – but Lucio will have to choose between the anarchist cause and protecting his own. Starring Juan José Ballesta as Lucio, Luis Callejo, Liah O'Prey, Miki Esparbé, Alexandre Blazy, Ben Temple,...

Off the heels of a world premiere at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, where he scooped the Proxima Special Jury Prize, writer-director Eduardo Casanova arrives in Montreal to screen his latest feature “La Piedad” (“La Pietà”) as part of the Queer Genre Cinema Spotlight at Fantasia. The screening marks its North American debut.

The film offers a delightfully bizarre peek into the lives of manic and obsessive Libertad (Ángela Molina), a mother with an insatiable desire to be needed, and her son, Mateo (Manel Llunell), who warily leans into her toxic trappings as the pair become increasingly entwined.

A personal story unfurls in tandem with a poignant subplot that likens their familial relationship to that of a populace and its dictator, showing that those in control of a mere few can use propaganda just as readily as a sadistic leader to manipulate their wards into submission.

Beneath the briny, where Davy Jones’ Locker is home to the bodies of thousands of dead sailors who lost their lives on the high seas, there be treasure. Frank Wild (Stanley Tucci) has never let go of his boyhood dreams of roaming the world turning up buried jewels and ships’ figureheads and letting pieces of eight run through his light fingers, although he has come up with some distinctly adult ploys to make that possible. Are they legal? Perhaps extra-legal would be the right expression. Think black ops. At the very least, there are some shady characters involved, the kinds of people captured by long lenses in police investigations.

Few big European telecoms have driven into original high-end drama series production at the scale of Movistar Plus.

When it world-premiered at the San Sebastian festival in 2017, “The Plague,” a re-creation of 1580 Seville in its dazzling glory and poverty, was most probably the biggest-budget Spanish series ever made.

Yet, even by such measures, Alejandro Amenábar’s “La Fortuna,” which world-premieres at September’s San Sebastian Film Festival, sets a new bar for Movistar Plus’ ambitions.

The six-part series also says much about how Movistar Plus, the pay TV-svod unit of giant European telecom Telefonica, is setting out to consolidate audiences in Spain and secure even more of a global viewership.

“La Fortuna” weighs in as the single biggest single U.S.-Spain co-production in history, teaming AMC Studios, Movistar Plus and Spain’s Mod Producciones. It has the Spanish media company’s biggest stars to date: Stanley Tucci, who plays Frank Wild,...

After the pandemic brought the industry to a standstill, shoots have now returned to Madrid, including this adventure series starring Stanley Tucci, Blanca Portillo, Ana Polvorosa and Álvaro Mel. “Filming is an immense challenge that our entire team is taking on with a huge amount of excitement and responsibility. La Fortuna is about optimism and the will to fight,” stated Alejandro Amenábar about this project based on the graphic novel El tesoro del Cisne Negro by Paco Roca and Guillermo Corral, which was interrupted by the start of the pandemic in March 2020, like so many others. However, once the state of emergency had been lifted in Spain, its shoot resumed in Madrid. Its six episodes are being produced by Movistar + and AMC Studios, in conjunction with Mod Producciones, and it stars Stanley Tucci, Blanca Portillo, Manolo Solo, Karra Elejalde, Ana Polvorosa and Álvaro Mel.
