New behind-the-scenes video from the set of Kill Jackie has surfaced online, and one surprising detail caught fans’ attention: Catherine Zeta-Jones is filming scenes while appearing visibly pregnant.
The video was taken while she was on set with an actor, one of the stars of the upcoming Amazon Prime Video series.
Kill Jackie is based on The Price You Pay, a novel written by Nick Harkaway under the name Aidan Truhen. The story centers around Jackie Price, a high-end art dealer who finds out she’s being hunted by a deadly group of assassins called The Seven Demons. Zeta-Jones plays Jackie, the lead role in the eight-part thriller.

In the week before Cannes, Spain’s production sector was still digesting the news of U.S. President
Donald Trump’s call for tariffs of 100% on movies made outside the U.S. “Tariffs will not resolve any of the necessities which the U.S. administration indicates as a justification,” the Spain Film Commission fired back in a statement May 5.
Following a 2020 global pandemic and 2023 Hollywood strikes, the tariff threat reps the third global curveball thrown at Spain’s production shoot business, which has grown dramatically over the last decade, but edged down in 2024. “International service work has slowed somewhat,” says Mike Day at Palma Pictures, the producer in Spain of “The Crown.”
“Spain’s [incentives and locations] remain competitive. The dip is more to do with the recent headwinds that the industry itself has been seeing,” Day adds. Recent years have seen an extraordinary surge of international productions hit Spain. If availability of...

Prime Video has confirmed that Daniel Ings has joined the cast of its highly anticipated eight-part revenge thriller Kill Jackie, starring Catherine Zeta-Jones. Slated for release in 2026, the UK Original series will launch across multiple territories including the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, and Canada.

Arguably, no other established Spanish film and TV industry has grown faster over the last decade than its service sector for international shoots. Some of the world’s most favorable tax incentives have helped propel business to historic heights.
Kicking off in 2015, tax regs rose muscularly during mid-pandemic in 2020. But in December, the Spanish government took it up another notch, establishing tax advantages for international productions of up to €20 million ($22.2 million) per movie and $11.1 million for a TV series episode. That increase went into effect Jan. 1.
With a special tax regime, the Canary Islands’ ceiling is $40.0 million for a film and a $20 mil- lion per series episode, some of the highest in Europe.
Discounts for foreign productions on mainland Spain are set at 30% for the first $1.11 million of deductible expenses and 25% for the rest. The Canaries offer a succulent 50%-45%. From Jan. 1, deduction rates in Basque Country’s Bizkaia reach...

Spain is no longer a distant country for international film and TV shoots, as the industry builds dramatically amid a flash flood of public financing.
In May 2020, as the first wave Covid-19 roiled the country, Spain’s Psoe socialist government raised the cap from €3 million ($3.6 million) to $14.4 million for both tax rebates for international projects and tax credits for local productions. Deduction rates edged up from 25% to 30% of investment.
In March, prime minister Pedro Sánchez raised the ante with a $1.9 billion Avs Hub Plan for 2021-25 to power up the local film and TV production industry and encourage big foreign players to shoot and set up production offices in Spain.
Already, thanks in part to a vaccination drive decimating infections, international shoots in Spain surpass pre-pandemic levels.
“Even in such a globally competitive marketplace, Spain remains one of the world’s leading destinations for producers wishing to capture content,” says Mike Day,...

One of Spanish pay TV Movistar Plus’ most ambitious pushes into original, international TV yet, the 20th Century-spanning period drama “Tell Me Who I Am,” will headline Monday evening’s Movistar Gala at the San Sebastian Film Festival, screening episodes out of competition.

The world is still reeling from the coronavirus, but the resilient film and TV series production business has begun to move forward again in some locations.
There’s a lot at stake: a recent report endorsed by the Assn. of Film Commissioners Intl. shows that in 2019, global expenditure on production reached an estimated $177 billion. The report notes that high-water mark would have been exceeded in 2020 factoring in rising production volume had Covid-19 not slowed and in most cases stopped production around the world. The report shows a 70% average decline in production over the first six months of 2020.
TV drove the numbers in production, where the number of series available in the U.S. doubled between 2011 and 2019 from 266 titles to 532.37, according to the Spi Global report. The number of feature films produced worldwide increased by 10% between 2014 and 2018, with the biggest growth in that sector coming from China, India and South Korea.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the first trailer for the unforgettable true story of The 33.
In 2010, the eyes of the world turned to Chile, where 33 miners had been buried alive by the catastrophic explosion and collapse of a 100-year-old gold and copper mine.
Over the next 69 days, an international team worked night and day in a desperate attempt to rescue the trapped men as their families and friends, as well as millions of people globally, waited and watched anxiously for any sign of hope. But 200 stories beneath the surface, in the suffocating heat and with tensions rising, provisions—and time—were quickly running out.
A story of resilience, personal transformation and triumph of the human spirit, the film takes us to the Earth’s darkest depths, revealing the psyches of the men trapped in the mine, and depicting the courage of both the miners and their families who refused to give up.

Madrid -- Daniel Monzon's prison drama "Cell 211" walked away the grand winner at the 24th Goya Awards ceremony with eight statues, including the top categories, Sunday night after a close head-to-head battle with Alejandro Amenabar's epic film "Agora."
"Cell" not only took best film, director and adapted script, but also actor for Luis Tosar's intense portrayal of a prison inmate.
