Boutique Filmes, the trailblazing Brazilian series producer, moves into movies with O Gênio do Crime,’ ‘Mistério do Cinco Estrellas.’
On Tuesday, Boutique unveiled “O Gênio do Crime,” a co-production with Globo Filmes which follows the adventures of Gordo’s Gang, a group of children who decide to investigate a criminal mastermind forging World Cup sticker albums. Published in 1981, “Mistério” reps a big screen makeover of one of the most iconic novels from Rey, in a year which marks the centenary of his birth, the book having just been re-released by Global Editora, with illustration by Oscar nominated Ali Abreu (“The Boy and the World”). “Mistério” targets a YA audience, said Mello describing it as a kind of Brazilian “Goonies,” while “Gênio” is made for kids & family at a time when such films are emerging as one of the strongest international bets for non-English language movies.
