Luxbox has come on board Lav Diaz’s historical drama “Magellan,” which stars Gael García Bernal, ahead of its world premiere in Cannes.

Sales agency Luxbox has come on board Lav Diaz ’s historical drama “Magellan,” which stars Gael García Bernal. He rebels against the power of the King of Portugal, who doesn’t support his dream of discovering the world, and persuades the Spanish monarchy to fund his bold expedition to the fabled lands of the East. This story, rooted in one of the most defining episodes of global history, has never been told from a Filipino point of view — and Lav Diaz brings it to the screen with depth, poetry and urgency.”
