Sony Pictures International Productions and Amazon Prime Video have closed a multi-picture deal with celebrated Spanish cineaste Álex de la Iglesia to produce a new horror feature film anthology, “…
De la Iglesia is, moreover, bringing to the table a precise idea of the caliber of fear which will set the Collection apart.He commented: “It’s an ambitious project that I’ve been hauling around for years. The concept is to make a collection of films that unveil a universe of horror beyond time. The characters face supernatural forces that threaten humanity. The idea is to generate a label of films with a specific character, Cosmic Horror.
Breaking out with his second feature, 1995’s black horror comedy “The Day of the Beast,” a milestone in modern-day Spanish cinema yoking U.S. genre and a bathetic Spanish reality, De la Iglesia remains one of Spain’s most-courted directors, helming Spanish remake “Perfectos Desconocidos” to $25.8 million in 2018 and now directing drama series “Treinta Monedas” for HBO Europe.
A series of movies is, moreover, potentially a much more powerful IP in a digital platform space, where horror is an audience mainstay. Iván Losada, managing director of Sony Pictures Spain, stated that “Álex is one of the most brilliant and prolific directors in this country, and we celebrate with great enthusiasm the fact that we are able to include his talent in the development of this collection of horror films”.
