Alejandro Amenábar’s Miguel de Cervantes Origin Story ‘The Captive’ to Be Launched at European Film Market by Film Constellation (EXCLUSIVE)
Film Constellation has boarded world sales on Alejandro Amenábar's ‘The Captive,’ and will introduce the film to buyers at the European Film Market.
Principal photography is set to begin in April on “The Captive” (“El Cautivo”), the period adventure epic from Alejandro Amenábar, whose “The Sea Inside” won an Oscar for best foreign language film. Amenábar, whose credits include “Open Your Eyes” and “The Others,” said: “In this film, as I have done in my previous ones, I will play with contrasts: between the dark reality Miguel de Cervantes was living and the power of fabulation, between the epic escape attempts and the miseries of captivity, and between the cruelty of his captors and the paradise of the hammam and the joy in the streets of Algiers. Producer Fernando Bovaira said, “It’s a pleasure to have Film Constellation and its team handling world sales on Alejandro Amenábar’s ‘The Captive.’ We appreciate their selective approach and the individual care given to each project and we are certain this will be a very successful collaboration.”
