Ester Expósito, one of the stars of Netflix’s global hit “Elite,” is attached to star in “The Wailing” (“El Llanto”), co-written by Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s regular co-scribe Isabel Peña (“The Beasts”) and directed by talent-to-track Pedro Martín-Calero (“Secrets”). It’s one of the biggest Spanish-language packages being brought onto Berlin’s European Film Market.
Catapulted into global stardom by “Elite,” an Instagram video of Espósito dancing to reggaeton track “El Efecto” snagged 93 million views.
The movie has gone into production, shooting in Madrid, Buenos Aires and La Plata. Film Factory Entertainment has acquired international rights.
“The Wailing” is lead produced by Madrid production house Caballo Films, co-founded by Sorogoyen and behind all his films, including “The Beasts,” which swept nine Goya Awards, including best film, Feb. 11.
“The Wailing” turns on a seemingly invisible evil, with undercurrents of gender violence. “No one can see it with the naked eye, but its presence has always been there. 20 years ago he stalked Camila and Marie. Now, 10,000 kilometers away, Andrea has begun to hear the wailing,” the synopsis runs.
Septembro Cine (“A Fantastic Woman”), Tandem Films (“Close Your Eyes”), Tarea Cine (“Sleepwalkers”) and France’s Noodles also produce.
Marked out by a bold high-style, often stunning settings and strong narrative, Martín-Calero’s work to date includes The Weeknd’s video “Secrets” and commercials.
France’s Mathilde Ollivier (Netflix’s “1899″) and Argentina’s Malena Villa, star of Cannes Un Certain Regard title “El Ángel,” co-star.
