Few high-end series say as much about their producers’ ambitions as Movistar Plus’ “La Fortuna,” starring Stanley Tucci and Clarke Peters, one of nine market screenings at this year’s Mipcom trade …
“La Fortuna” weighs in as the single biggest U.S.-Spain co-production in history, teaming Spain’s Movistar Plus, the pay TV-SVOD unit of giant European telecom Telefonica, and AMC Studios.
Straddling the U.S. and Spain and past and present, “La Fortuna” is also Movistar Plus’ largest scale series to date with on-location shoots across the length and breadth of Spain. His C.V. includes one of Spain’s first modern movies to involve true-blue Hollywood stars, the Nicole Kidman-led and Tom Cruise co-produced “The Others,” and the feat of recreating 391 A.D. Alexandria in “Agora,” toplined by Rachel Weisz. His “The Sea Inside” won a foreign-language film Oscar.
Amenábar’s creative freedoms cut various ways. “‘La Fortuna’ has the dramatic structure of a series but Amenábar’s direction is purely cinematographic,” says Domingo Corral, Movistar Plus director of original production.The series adapts a Spanish graphic novel, “El tesoro del Cisne Negro,” by Paco Roca and Guillermo Corral.
