Suspense Thriller ‘Barren Land,’ From ‘Money Heist’ Director Albert Pintó, Snapped Up by Film Factory (EXCLUSIVE)


Director also on ‘Berlin’ and of ‘Malasaña 32,’ and ‘Nowhere,’ Pinto’s ‘Barren Land’ is penned by ‘Below Zero’ scribe Fernando Navarro.

The film stars Luis Zahera, haunting as the main villain in Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s “The Beasts,” Karra Elejalde, who played Unamuno in Alejandro Amenábar’s “While at War,” and Jesús Carroza, the emotionally fragile cell-mate in Alberto Rodríguez’s “Prison 77.” The movie is lead produced by Ariza’s Esto También Pasará, a fast building force on Spain’s production scene, behind Ron Perlman starrer “The Gentleman,” “Ferocious Wolf,” a remake of Israeli hit “Big Bad Wolves,” and “The Boogeyman: The Origin of the Myth,” a Fantastic Pavilion Gala last year at Cannes. Esto También Pasará produces “Barren Land” with Glow and Mexican production company SDB Films, also a partner on “The Gentleman,” with the participation of Prime Video, RTVE, Canal Sur, Mogambo and the support of ICAA.
