Rome-based international sales and production company Tvco has scooped up sales rights to Argentine comedy “El Padre de Mis Hijos” (“The Father of My Sons”) which Tvco is presenting along with drama “El Silencio del Cazador” (“The Hunter’s Silence”) at the Malaga Spanish screenings (Nov. 17-20). Both are directed by Martin de Salvo and produced by Domenica Films of Argentina.
“El Padre de Mis Hijos” centers on Eva, who is in her late 30s and is facing the pressure of friends and family about missing out on her peak child-bearing years. She becomes obsessed about having a child, but the problem is finding a suitable father.
“Tvco’s Vincenzo Mosca and Doménica Films’ producer Pepe Salvia worked together in the past on a co-production project between Argentina and Italy that eventually did not happen, but the professional bond, borne from that experience, paved the way for a stronger professional relationship,...

Spanish actress Alexandra Jiménez and Argentine actor-producer Pablo Echarri are attached to star in Viacom’s TV series redo of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film “To Catch A Thief.”
Created by Javier Olivares, one of Spain’s best-known TV showrunners, the Spanish-language version, titled “Atrapa a un ladrón,” starts to film in Argentina and Spain in February.
The project marks the first original co-production by Viacom International Media Networks Southern and Western Europe, Middle East and Africa and Viacom International Studios Latin America.

Exclusive: The director of At The End Of The Tunnel, which played in official selection recently at the Rome Film Festival, has been generating heat with two television projects.
Grande, a genre-hopping talent from Rosario whose well-received third film allowed him to flex his crime thriller muscles, is talking up Triple Frontera and Black Chronicles.
Like At The End Of The Tunnel (Al Final Del Túnel), both keep Grande in thriller territory. Triple Frontera also exhibits broader dramatic elements and takes place in the tri-border region of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay that is home to the Iguazú Falls and more ominously serves as a stomping ground for drug gangs and human traffickers.
“It’s about a family that’s looking for a son who’s lost and they find themselves in trouble,” Grande said of the Spanish-language property.
Black Chronicles is a psychological thriller about a cross-border smuggling service for people anxious to take flight.

Brace yourselves. This list of the Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies is probably going to generate some howls of protest thanks to a rather major upset in the rankings. Frankly, one that surprised the hell out of us here at AfterElton.
But before we get to that, an introduction. A few weeks ago we asked AfterElton readers to submit up to ten of their favorite films by write-in vote. We conducted a similar poll several years ago, but a lot has happened culturally since then, and a number of worthy movies of gay interest have been released. We wanted to see how your list of favorites had changed.
We also wanted to expand our list to 100 from the top 50 we had done previously. We figured there were finally enough quality gay films to justify the expansion. And we wanted to break out gay documentaries onto their own list (You'll find the...

Argentina, Mexico, Spain conjure 'Boca'
BUENOS AIRES -- Filmmakers from Argentina, Mexico and Spain are teaming for the production of the supernatural thriller Boca de Santos starring two of the Spanish-speaking world's hottest stars.
Argentina's Pablo Echarri, fresh off the worldwide success of Telefe's telenovela Montecristo, will headline alongside sexy Spanish actress Elsa Pataky, a veteran of European cinema who last appeared in Snakes on a Plane.
Simon Andreu, Francisco Boira, Tania Esteban, Daniel Martinez, Ofelia Medina, Jose Sefami and Monica Dionee round out the international cast.
Mexico's Satori and Vertigo Films will team with Argentina's Cruz del Sur Cine for the shoot, slated to begin next month in Argentina's Patagonia region, before heading to Barcelona, Spain, and Jalisco, Mexico.
Mexican director Raul Ramon is making his big-screen debut with the project, working from a script penned by Pancho Rodriguez, a protege of Guillermo Del Toro.
The film is budgeted at $5 million and expected to be released in the second half of 2008. It will be the biggest international production the three countries have ever done together.

Burnt Money
A highly stylized, extremely violent and frequently erotic crime thriller from Argentina, "Burnt Money" (Plata Quemada) is based on a novel that in turn was based on a true-life pair of gay criminals dubbed "the Twins" for their apparent inseparability.
Director Marcolo Pineyro treats this already lurid material in sometimes compelling, sometimes heavy-handed fashion, but at its best, the film has an arresting visual power that makes it stand out from its American counterparts. Widely seen on the festival circuit, it is playing a theatrical engagement at New York's Quad Cinema.
Set in 1965, the story concerns Angel (Eduardo Noriega) and Nene (Leonardo Sbaraglia), who become lovers and partners in crime after a sexual encounter in a Buenos Aires train station. After a series of successful bank robberies, they are recruited by some big-time criminals for a major and complicated heist to be performed with the swaggering heterosexual Curevo (Pablo Echarri).
The caper goes awry, several policemen are killed, and the thieves take it on the lam to Uruguay, where the inevitable tensions and Angel's emotional troubles threaten to drive them apart. Eventually, due in part to Nene's relationship with a local prostitute who snitches on them, they come to a bad end in a blood-soaked climax rivaling the most violent American efforts.
The overly complicated story line is not made more understandable by the endless voice-over narration, and the two-hour-plus running time is far too extended. But the film does have a certain visceral power, thanks to the striking, music video-style visuals; the intense performances; the heavy doses of violent action; and the numerous sex scenes, most of which, despite the orientation of the two lead characters, are of the straight variety.
