Carlos Saura’s ‘The Hunt’ Gets Modern-Day ‘Revision’ Which Rolls in July (EXCLUSIVE)
Carmen Machi, Rossy de Palma and Blanca Portillo star in a contempo reimagining of one of Carlos Saura’s masterpieces.
“La Mesías” star Carmen Machi, Almodóvar muse Rossy de Palma and Blanca Portillo, a Cannes best actress co-winner for Almodóvar’s “Volver,” are set to star in “The Prey” (“Dia de Caza”), billed as a contemporary revision of Carlos Saura ’s 1965 pic “The Hunt,” quite possibly his crowing achievement. The film follows three once-close friends reuinting for a rabbit hunt; the final bloody outcome was read as a broad metaphor of the social elite in dictator Francisco Franco’s Spain. The film’s screenplay is written by Lola Mayo, who co-penned Javier Rebollo’s “The Dead Man and Being Happy” and “Woman Without Piano,” a San Sebastian best director winner.
