‘Narcos,’ ‘El Presidente’ Producer Gaumont USA Preps New Armando Bo, Manuel Martín Cuenca Series, Drives into Movies (EXCLUSIVE)
Also new, ‘D-Lux,’ a bio series about charismatic high-fashion icon Eliana Tranchesi, as Lucia Puenzo’s ‘Futuro Desierto’ advances.
Gaumont USA is currently developing titles with Jimena Montemayor (“Wind Traces”), Pedro Amorim (“The Dognapper”), Sebastian and Emiliano Zurita (“How to Survive Being Single”), Katina Medina Mora (“Latido,” “Emily in Paris”), Belen Macias (“Verano en Rojo”), among other top-level filmmakers. Soon to be taken out to market, and executive produced by Armando Bo, the fiction series is inspired by the colorful figure of Castor de Andrade (1926-1977), the head of Rio’s decades-old Jogo do bicho (“Animal Game”), an illegal lottery cartel from the 1980s. Based on the novel by prominent Spanish author Ildefonso Falcones, adapted in two Netflix series, “Cathedral of the Sea” and “Heirs to the Land,” “The Barefoot Queen” is a “captivating historical epic set-in 18th-century Spain, intertwining bravery, romance, and the struggles faced by two women,” Gabela said.
