Spanish movie powerhouse Atresmedia Cine is partnering with ITV Studios’ Cattleya Producciones and indie outfit La Canica Films to co-produce coming-of-age comedy “Todos los colores,” the feature debut of writer-director Beatriz de Silva.

Filming kicked-off June 23 in Madrid, scheduled for six weeks.

Vicente Canales’ Film Factory Entertainment will handle international sales. Wanda Vision will distribute the film in Spanish theaters in 2026.

“Todos los colores” weighs in as an emotional and generational comedy which turns on love, friendship, desire and inner strength, targeting a four-quadrant audience with a film where disability isn’t the focus but features as just another part of the protagonist’s life.

Mafalda Carbonell stars as the 17-year-old girl Belén, a charismatic leader of a group of friends with an overwhelming personality and her wheelchair, always managing to get her way.

But with the end of high school just around the corner, everything starts to change. Belén...

Many medical dramas have attempted to replicate the success of Grey's Anatomy and ER. Many have failed, not coming nearly as close to the popularity that both series reached (with Grey's Anatomy still being renewed for more seasons to this day). They've set the standard, one that's tough to achieve and consists of a combination of great acting, excellent storytelling, and a loyal audience. This year, several medical dramas had close premieres, each vying for the attention of lovers of the genre. While Max's The Pitt has been the most popular, Fox's Doc, NBC's Brilliant Minds, and CBS' Watson have all snagged renewals, too. Netflix's Pulse, on the other hand, has received mixed reviews since its premiere on the streamer on April 3, 2025, and its fate has now been sealed.

According to Deadline, Pulse won't get another chance to prove critics wrong as the Netflix original has been cancelled after one season.

Netflix has canceled a pair of first-year series, The Residence and Pulse.

The two shows both premiered in the spring and had four-week runs in Netflix’s internal, worldwide top 10 rankings, with The Residence lasting a bit longer than than in Nielsen’s U.S. streaming charts. As usual, Netflix does cost-benefit analysis in making renewal or cancellation decisions.

The Residence is a White House-set murder mystery starring Uzo Aduba as Cordelia Cupp, the “greatest detective in the world.” The series hails from Shonda Rhimes’ Shondaland and creator/showrunner Paul William Davies (Scandal). Had the series gone forward, the plan was for it to become an anthology with Cupp taking on a new case each season.

The cast for the first (and now only) season also features Randall Park, Giancarlo Esposito, Susan Kelechi Watson, Edwina Findley, Bronson Pinchot, Mary Wiseman, Julieth Restrepo, Al Mitchell, Mel Rodriguez, Ken Marino, Jason Lee and Jane Curtin,...

Freshman Netflix shows “Pulse” and “The Residence” have both been canceled, Variety has learned. Both series aired just one season at the streamer.

“Pulse” premiered on April 3 and debuted with 6.5 million views on the Netflix Top 10, followed by 8.5 million, 3.2 million and 2 million views in the weeks after that. The series received a ratings of 48% on Rotten Tomatoes, with Variety’s review noting “a poorly formatted narrative, an appalling depiction of sexual harassment and a few insufferable characters [that] don’t exactly make for a pleasurable watch.”

The series also suffered due to the proximity of its premiere to the finale of “The Pitt” at Max, with the latter medical drama scoring much higher with critics and audiences alike.

“Pulse” starred Willa Fitzgerald as Dr. Danny Simms, a third-year resident at a Level 1 trauma center Miami, who is unexpectedly promoted after beloved chief resident Xander Phillips (Colin Woodell) is suspended. Per the official logline,...

"I don't ever want to see you pull the trigger again... that's what I do! That's what I'm for... You let me do that..." Lionsgate has launched the official trailer for the action thriller titled She Rides Shotgun, made by filmmaker Nick Rowland. Set for release in August this summer - in theaters exclusively. Adapted from the Edgar Award-winning novel from Jordan Harper. "Where can you run when there's nowhere to hide?" Taron Egerton stars as the newly released ex-con Nate in this gritty, explosive action-thriller. Marked for death by unrelenting enemies, Nate must now protect his estranged 11-year-old daughter, Polly at all costs. Wary of her father, Polly is swept up in Nate's dangerous plight as they flee to evade the corrupt sheriff and brutal leader of a gang who will stop at nothing to protect his criminal interests. Along with Egerton, this also stars Ana Sophia Heger as his daughter,...

Four fresh faces have joined the cast of dark psychological thriller The Silence Game, from New Life writer/director John Rosman and producer T. Justin Ross.

Santiago Segura, Gabrielle Byndloss, Chris Webster, and Emily Rose have joined Tony Cavalero (“The Righteous Gemstones”), Sarah Yarkin (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Nicholas Cirillo (Black Mirror) in the cast of The Silence Game.

It follows a disillusioned young man who, after following a mysterious woman into a camp of outsiders, falls under the influence of a charismatic leader preaching virtue through The Silence Game, an unnerving game with straightforward but terrifying rules.

Rosman writes and directs.

The director’s feature debut, New Life, became a film festival darling in 2023, earning critical acclaim for its fresh take on the thriller genre. The film was acquired by Brainstorm Media and is currently streaming on Hulu. I wrote in my New Life review that “Rosman’s assured debut deftly blends genres,...

As it prepares to unleash Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later around the globe later this week, Sony showed off the first 28 minutes of the zombie thriller for exhibitors here at the CineEurope conference in Barcelona.

Boyle introduced the footage via video message, saying this “new journey” is the “start of something big.” The first trailer dropped back in December and is the third most-watched horror trailer ever with 60.2 million views in its first 24 hours, while Deadline reported earlier this month that in the first 24 hours of ticket sales domestically, 28 Years Later became the best horror pre-seller of the year to date.

The second film in the newly revamped trilogy — 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple — will hit North American theaters on January 16, 2026.

At the start of Sony’s presentation, Steven O’Dell, President of International Marketing and Distribution, said to the assembled exhibitors, “I hope everyone is sitting here...

This post contains spoilers from Netflix's Pulse episode 6 from this point forward.

Yes, this is the same show. Pulse episode 6 opens on doctors we haven't met before performing surgery and it's going south. We'll surely meet back up with them later, but Danny wakes up thinking about four months ago when she joined Xander in the shower. She's beginning to freak out because at over five months, it's her longest relationship. In reality, she reaches over at the empty side of her bed.

Danny's day begins with a visit from Harper and a breakfast delivery. She knows she's buttering her up to join her to check on their father. It's not the only breakfast delivery of the morning as Cole brings Nia her breakfast. She tries to slowing their attraction down since she's a patient, but he points out that she won't be a patient for much longer. It's...

Welcome to Maguire Hospital in Miami, Florida, where the dedicated doctors and nurses are devoted to caring for their patients through a serious hurricane. Before we get to know the hospital's staff, we join a high school coach and his team on a bus. Due to low visibility from the rain, the coach swerves to avoid colliding with an accident ahead and crashes off of the bridge and into the ocean.

Before the staff learns about the bush crash and gets to work on helping their onslaught of new patients, Pulse pulls us in with some drama among the staff. Harper (Jessy Yates) wakes up her sister Danny (Willa Fitzgerald) before her shift, warning her not to make the day worse by being late. Danny ask if everyone knows. Knows what? Well, they seem to know, but as Harper insists,...

The excitement and cosplay fun of San Diego Comic-Con is coming to Europe. Under an agreement managed by Img Licensing, “Sdcc is setting roots outside the United States for the first time in its history, making its European debut in Málaga,” the Andalucía region of Spain, this September, organizers said on Monday.

For four days from Sept. 25-28, 2025, the city will host the first official San Diego Comic Convention-licensed event outside the U.S. “This historic milestone would not have been possible without the institutional support of the Junta de Andalucía and the Málaga City Council, who have firmly committed to making Málaga the European capital of popular arts,” Sdcc said.

The international expansion was unveiled during an event at the Gran Hotel Miramar in Málaga, hosted by director, and screenwriter Santiago Segura, and including Junta de Andalucía president Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, Mayor of Málaga Francisco de la Torre Prados,...

San Diego Comic-Con is expanding with an international spin-off that will be hosted this year in Malaga, Spain.

The event will run from September 25 to 28 and will be the first official San Diego Comic Convention licensed event outside the United States.

Plans for San Diego Comic-Con Malaga were announced this afternoon in Spain during an event that featured director and screenwriter Santiago Segura alongside a collection of local politicians, including Francisco de la Torre Prados, the Mayor of Málaga, and David Glanzer, Chief Communications & Strategy Officer of San Diego Comic Convention.

“We’re very excited to celebrate comics and the popular arts and share Comic-Con’s unique spirit, with audiences in Europe,” Glanzer said. “We couldn’t have found a more vibrant, welcoming, and creative city to begin this exciting new chapter for fans and creators.”

San Diego Comic Convention began in 1970. The event has gone through several name changes...

Málaga, Spain, is primed to take center stage in the world of pop culture when it hosts the first-ever international edition of the iconic San Diego Comic-Con (Sdcc).

For over five decades, Sdcc has been a can’t-miss event for fans and creators of comics, films, television, and all other mediums of pop culture distribution. Now, for the first time, Sdcc is stepping outside the U.S. with Malaga, Spain, chosen as its European host city. The milestone was officially unveiled today during a star-studded event held at the Gran Hotel Miramar in the Spanish coastal city.

Thanks to an agreement facilitated by Img Licensing, Sdcc will hold its first-ever licensed event outside the U.S. from Sept. 25 to 28 of this year. This move marks the beginning of a new chapter for the convention, bringing its celebrations of comics and culture to a European audience. The commitment to Malaga’s...

Netflix has debuted the trailer for the upcoming hospital drama series ‘Pulse.’

As a hurricane barrels towards Miami’s busiest Level 1 Trauma Center, third-year resident Dr. Danny Simms (Willa Fitzgerald) is unexpectedly thrust into a promotion when beloved Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips (Colin Woodell) is suspended.

Amid the worsening storm and an onslaught of trauma cases, the hospital goes into lockdown. Danny and Phillips must find a way to work together – even as the bombshell details of a complicated and illicit romance between them spill out. The rest of the ER is left to process the fallout of their relationship while balancing their own challenges, both personal and professional, as they work under the pressure of life-or-death stakes. For this tight-knit group of doctors, saving their patient’s lives is often less complicated than living their own.

Created by Zoe Robyn, the cast includes Willia Fitzgerald, Colin Woodell, Justina Machado,...

Netflix's upcoming new medical drama Pulse is certainly giving off Grey's Anatomy vibes if you ask me. Right down to the central relationship too. But, that doesn't mean I'm not going to watch it! I'm actually really looking forward to the upcoming series. And I think you fellow medical drama fan s will be excited about it too.

Pulse premieres Tuesday, April 3, 2025 on Netflix. There's a total of 10 episodes to look forward to. You might think that something as intense as a medical drama might be too much as a binge. Though with Grey's Anatomy doing so well streaming on Netflix, it's clear there's an audience for it. And I think that's why the streamer is clearly trying its hand at its own version. I'm definitely willing to give it a chance.

I can already tell based on the newly released trailer that I'll also be shipping Danny Simms and Xander Phillips.

Spanish exhibitors are calling for the government to urgently award €14.5m that had been promised to the sector in the face of a 6% decline in admissions in 2024.

“This aid is key to guarantee the survival of cinemas… for a sector that is essential for promoting culture and film diversity,” said Fece in a statement.

“Nowadays, your work family can really be, apart from your literal family, the most important community you have,” showrunner and executive producer Carlton Cuse added. “The complications that arise — between what’s going on off the clock and on the clock — can get messy.

Medical procedural dramas are nothing new, yet they’re making a comeback with shows like Max’s The Pitt and Netflix‘s upcoming series Pulse.

One of the projects we’ve been crowing about coming up on Netflix in 2025 is the streamer’s first-ever medical procedural series, Pulse. The series has had the lid lifted on it with an April 2025 release date set. Here are all those first looks and a recap of everything we know so far.

First announced publicly in March 2024 (although in development for at least a year before that), the series marks a first for Netflix, at least when it comes to its English-language programming. Although it’s licensed plenty of medical dramas over the years, it’s never made one itself—at least not a procedural.

Over the last six years, thanks in the main to the SVOD revolution, Spain, once known for select auteurs – Pedro Almodóvar, J.A. Bayona, Fernando Trueba – has stepped fully onto the world stage as a European film and TV power.

Appropriately then, Spain is the Country in Focus 2025 at Berlin Festival’s European Film Market. Its movie strand says much about Spanish cinema, while Berlin, at large, points up Spain’s larger film industry challenges, shared by much of Europe.

The Focus’ biggest takeaway is Spain’s dramatic explosion of new talent, both producers and directors. In a Spain at the Forefront showcase, 10 Spanish producers making up a Producers Program will talk up their companies and current projects. Another 10 producers form part of Visitors Program at the Berlinale Co-Production Market.

Casi 24 horas para despedir el año, pero en mundoCine no podemos decir adiós sin antes hacer un repaso del top películas españolas más taquilleras de 2024, con datos extraídos del Icaa (Instituto de la Cinematografía y de las Artes Audiovisuales) y, acompañado, como ya viene siendo habitual por nuestra parte, de información muy útil sobre dónde podéis verlas en estos momentos.

Y es que, si en el top de las películas que más han recaudado a nivel mundial predominaban las sagas –secuelas, secuelas y más secuelas, con Wicked como la única excepción–, el del cine español que más ha triunfado en la cartelera de este año nos ha ofrecido, en cambio, una diversidad de lo más refrescante.

Hit by last year’s Hollywood’s strikes, total box office in 2024 in Spain dipped 2% compared to 2023, breaking three consecutive years of recovery over 2021-23, Comscore Movies Spain announced Monday. At 71 million admissions, attendance edged down 5% compared to last year.

At €477 million ($496.1 million), total box office in Spain was 29% below a pre-covid 19 average over 2017-19, but still 21% up on a post-pandemic average over 2021-23 as Spain and box office at large around the world continues its halting rebound from 2020.

That said, some 2024 results in Spain were heartening.

While first half admissions were 13% down on same period last year, the second half regained momentum against the same period in 2023, auguring well for 2025, observed David Rodríguez, Comscore Movies general manager for Spain and Portugal.

“Inside Out 2” grossed a spectacular €45.5 million ($47.3 million), the second best result for any movie in Spain since “Spanish Affair” in 2014 (€56 million: $58 million), just bested by “Avatar: The Way of Water...

One of Adam Sandler's most panned films is getting a free streaming home. While most critics have advised against watching the movie, fans of the funnyman will be able to judge its quality for themselves without paying a dime.

On Jan. 1, Sandler's Jack and Jill will be made available to watch on the free streaming platform Tubi. Directed by Dennis Dugan with a story by Ben Zook, the film was co-written by Sandler alongside Steve Koren. The comedy movie featured Sandler starring in dual roles as Jack and Jill, twin siblings spending time with one another during the holidays. It was released in theaters on Nov. 11, 2011, and in terms of its finances, the movie was a modest success, as it grossed nearly $150 million, but with a fairly high budget of nearly $80 million.

El cine nacional brilla en la taquilla también con ‘Buffalo Kids’. © Disney / Sony Pictures

Según los datos provisionales de Comscore Spain, este fin de semana del 23 al 25 de agosto ha traído cambios significativos a la taquilla española, destacando especialmente el cine nacional con el estreno de Odio el Verano. Esta comedia familiar de Sony Pictures, dirigida por Fernando García-Ruiz, ha entrado directamente al primer puesto con una recaudación aproximada de 795.000 euros, y se posiciona así como el segundo mejor estreno español en lo que va de año, tan solo por detrás de la película familiar de Santiago Segura, Padre no hay más que uno 4.

No hay muchos cambios en los siguientes puestos del top 10 de la taquilla. Alien: Romulus, la nueva película de la icónica saga de ciencia ficción y terror, dirigida por Fede Álvarez, ha descendido al segundo lugar con una suma de 704.000 euros, lo que representa una caída del 41.3% en su recaudación.

When Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator was released back in 1986, the director and production team surely never, in their wildest dreams, imagined that their cult classic horror flick would become a trilogy. Yet, here we are. If you caught our last video on sequel Bride of Re-Animator, you’ll know by now that, although I dug the VFX and carnage in all of its practically made splendor, the movie had little else going for it. Plus, Bride didn’t have a proper theatrical run to show that continuing the series would be profitable from purely a box-office perspective. However, what makes horror the very best genre known to the movie-making universe, which of course it is my fellow gore-hounds, right? Is that despite certain movies being ridiculed or unappreciated by unimaginative critics, they become cult classics regardless. Which is a wonderful thing. Just consider daft horror flicks like Night of the Lepus,...

‘Deadpool y Lobezno’ promete atraer una gran afluencia de público a las salas de cine esta semana y agitar la taquilla.

Durante el fin de semana del 19 al 21 de junio en España, ha habido un estreno que ha destronado al fenómeno animado “Del Revés 2” – “Gru 4: Mi Villano Favorito”, y no, no ha sido el blockbuster veraniego “Twisters” sino “Padre no hay más que uno 4”, que, según los datos provisionales de Comscore Spain, ha logrado una recaudación de 2 millones de euros durante el fin de semana.

La nueva entrega de la popular saga familiar creada por Santiago Segura se ha convertido en el mejor estreno de una película española en los últimos 9 años, logrando además el mejor miércoles de apertura de la historia del cine español. Además, ha superado a sus predecesoras en la franquicia con notables subidas: un 226% respecto a “Padre no hay más que uno”, un 84% respecto...

Durante el fin de semana del 12 al 14 de junio en España, la taquilla ha continuado bajo el dominio de las películas “Gru 4: Mi Villano Favorito” y “Del Revés 2”, han acaparado el 70% de la recaudación. Un fin de semana marcado por la final de la Eurocopa, que ha repercutido en la afluencia de espectadores a las salas de cine ese día en particular.

Según los datos provisionales de Comscore Spain, en primer lugar encontramos a “Gru 4: Mi Villano Favorito”, que ha recaudado 1,7 millones de euros, experimentando una caída del 42% respecto a su anterior fin de semana de estreno. Le sigue de cerca en segundo lugar “Del Revés 2”, la secuela de la aclamada película de Disney Pixar, que ha recaudado 1,5 millones de euros, registrando un descenso del 45% en su taquilla.

Santiago Segura estuvo de visita el lunes en El Hormiguero con motivo de la promoción de “Padre no hay más que Uno 4: Campanas de Boda” y anunció que tiene previsto comenzar el año que viene el rodaje de la sexta película de “Torrente”, que según ha desvelado se titulará “Torrente Presidente”.

Segura, que lleva dos años trabajando en el guion de la nueva entrega, ha dicho en el programa: «No voy a ser valiente porque sé que es lo que siempre he hecho. Creo que se me ocurren paridas, cosas que creo que a la gente le van a hacer reír, le van a hacer pensar o le van a chocar y es lo que hago. Sí que es verdad que he esperado un poco a que sean mis hijas un poco...

Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider have worked together on movies since the start of their careers. Rob Schneider often plays a supporting role in Sandler's films, even if it's just a momentary cameo Sandler's unique blend of humor and relatable characters have made him a household name in the world of comedy, but the critics don't always click with his humor.

Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider's friendship has seen them work on plenty of movies together, with decidedly mixed results. Like Kevin James and David Spade, Schneider has appeared in many of Sandler's biggest movies. Sandler has returned the favor by popping up in several movies led by Schneider over the years. No matter the movie, the two friends always seem to be able to find a role for one another.

Sandler and Schneider's style of comedy isn't for everyone, and even some of their most popular movies have been panned by critics.

Roberts debuted the franchise back in 2017, and directed the first two entries. However, this time around, the third film will be helmed by horror veteran Patrick Lussier.

Homegrown hits led by A Moroccan Affair and Championext, an explosion of comedies and the solid performance of several European indies have helped the Spanish box office to withstand the lack of US releases following the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes last year.

Local productions were the highest grossing independent films at the Spanish box office in the year ending February 2024, with Álvaro Fernández Armero’s A Moroccan Affair at the top of the list.

The 2023 Spanish box office total was €504 million, with 77.8 million tickets sold, representing a 26% increase on 2022.

The two biggest Spanish films are both part of existing franchises.

Vicente Canales’ Film Factory has acquired international rights to Arantxa Echevarría’s action thriller Undercover.

It is being produced by Santiago Segura and María Luisa Gutiérrez’s Bowfinger International Pictures in partnership with Beta Fiction Spain (Bfs), and Álvaro Esto también Pasará, with backing from Movistar Plus+, Atresmedia and broadcaster Eitb.

Carolina Yuste and Luis Tosar are starring in the film which is now in production. It is based on the story of the 20 year old woman who was the only member of the national police force who managed to infiltrate the Basque terrorist group, Eta and helped to dismantle it.

The Bloody Disgusting-powered Screambox is home to a variety of unique horror content, from originals and exclusives to cult classics and documentaries. With such a rapidly-growing library, there are many hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

Alongside exclusives like Secret Santa and Night of the Missing and such classics as Black Christmas and Silent Night, Deadly Night 2, here are five Christmas horror recommendations you can stream on Screambox right now.

Christmas Evil

Not to be confused with the innumerable Santa slashers, Christmas Evil (also known as You Better Watch Out) is tonally more in line with Taxi Driver than Silent Night, Deadly Night. Writer-director Lewis Jackson clearly had no interest in making a body count flick; instead, he explores the psyche of a mentally unstable man who happens to dress up as Santa and kill people. The low-budget grit adds to the dark atmosphere.

The 1980 film chronicles one man’s...

Spanish sales, distribution, exhibition and production outfit has a line-up of 16 titles in different stages of production.

Barcelona-based Filmax, one of Spain’s leading entertainment companies, has lined up its next genre production, El Nido, the third fiction feature from Hugo Stuven following Solo and English-language Anomalous.

A psychological thriller feature, El Nido (which translates to ‘the nest’) tells the story of Marta, who is obsessed with protecting her family from the terrifying outside world and keeps her mother and her young son locked in their home. Everything seems peaceful until, one day, a man arrives, looking to destroy everything Marta has built.

Move over “Barbenheimer”: Spain has a new box office phenom: Javier Fesser’s “Championext” (“Campeonex”), his sequel to “Champions,” Spain’s biggest hometurf box office hit of the last seven years which sparked a Woody Harrelson U.S. remake directed by Bobby Farrelly.

Produced by Luis Mansó for Películas Pendleton and Alvaro Longoria for Morena Films, “Championext” is released in Spain by Universal Pictures Intl (Upi), and sold internationally by Latido Films.

It opened Aug. 18 for a first weekend €1.72 million ($1.89 million) which bested both “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” as well as “Meg 2: The Trench,” Spain’s No. 1 for the last two weeks.

“Championext’s” first weekend frame is the biggest among Spanish films since Santiago Segura’s “Father There is Only One 3” in July 2022.
