Filmmaker and VFX artist Gonzalo Gutierrez “G.G.” is taking on practical effects with creature feature Pacifico, and first look images give a glimpse of the monster.

Pacifico follows “a group of young travelers are stranded on an island in the Pacific where they struggle to escape an evil alien presence that has been hidden from mankind for centuries.”

The first look images introduce a rather unique monster so far.

Manolo Cardona (Death’s Roulette), María Gabriela de Faría, Ricardo Abarca (Miss Bala), Christopher Von Uckermann (“Demon”), Claudio Cataño (“One Hundred Years of Solitude”) and Maria Nela Sinisterra (Penumbra) star.

Pacifico is produced by Mauricio Brunetti of Patagonia Films and Guido Rud of FilmSharks. Florencia Lemoine executive produces. The film was shot in Bogota and is now in post-production.

“What I love so much about science fiction when bundled with genre,” says FilmSharks CEO/Founder Guido Rud, “when you can create...

We’ve got your exclusive first look at the monstrous, practical effects-driven terror at the heart of Pacifico, the highly anticipated elevated creature feature from visionary Latin filmmaker Gonzalo “Gg” Gutiérrez (Giants). The film, which was revealed at the Cannes Film Market, is reported to be the largest science-fiction production in Latin American history, and features a notable cast of Latin stars.

The horrifying images, shown below, depict a moment of pure survival horror—a confrontation with the ancient evil at the heart of the story. We’re told the project was shot with visceral realism, and the creature’s practical design does indeed promise a return to tactile monstrosities.

Directed by Gutiérrez, Pacifico hails from Buenos Aires-based outfit FilmSharks, produced by Mauricio Brunetti (Corazon de Leon) and Guido Rud (Lobo Feroz; No Dormiras), and executive produced by Florencia Lemoine (Giants). Gutiérrez is known for his bold visual style and roots in high-end visual effects.

Why was it argued that Gabriel García Márquez’s 1967 literary masterwork “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is un-filmable and anti-cinematic, while the novel is one of the most picturesque pieces of literature ever written? One can hardly finish this 422-page novel without bypassing the images it evokes. I assume, the reason behind this ‘un-filmability’ or ‘un-adaptability’ lies in the kaleidoscope of realism that stems from Gabriel García Márquez’s life and works.

Once, while delivering a lecture on García Márquez at the Harry Ransom Center, Salman Rushdie remarked that, while reading García Márquez’s works, his readers’ often, enchanted by the ‘Magic,’ overlook the ‘Real.’ This magic of Gabo, which at times overshadowed the real, is perhaps one of the key reasons for making it look like cinema or television is inefficient in adapting his texts. But, García Márquez, who throughout his life was inextricably involved with cinema, himself did...

One Hundred Years Of Solitude, the magnum opus by Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez, simply should not work on screen. Even with the blessing of the writer's family, recapturing the essence of his landmark achievement seems even more impossible than the mystical occurrences that unfold in the book's fictional town of Macondo. Yet capture it they have — and remarkably better than anyone could have hoped for.

Shot in the Spanish language, using a Colombian cast, Netflix's highly anticipated adaptation is one of the largest productions in Latin American history, befitting the multi-generational story beating at the heart of the book's prose. The lavish production, shot on a town-sized set specifically constructed for this show, smartly evolves over time as we travel through history with the Buendía family. Historical realism and mythic surprises ebb and flow as the family's saga rises and falls, encompassing...

Starring Diego Vásquez as José Arcadio Buendía alongside Marleyda Soto as Úrsula Iguarán, Claudio Cataño as Colonel Aureliano Buendía, Loren Sofía as Amaranta, Janer Villarreal as Arcadio, among others, you can check out the official synopsis for the series below.

Netflix's adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude features a cast of talented but not widely known actors. The series is based on the celebrated literary masterpiece by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez and has often been described as a book that would be impossible to adapt. The sprawling epic spans through multiple generations of characters from the Buendía family and the town of Macondo. However, Netflix's rendition has garnered success, with One Hundred Years of Solitude receiving positive reviews for its unbelievable production value, casting, and faithful adaptation of Márquez's novel.

Due to covering one hundred years of the Buendía family's life, the series cycles through several characters, and different actors are used for various iterations of each character. The Netflix adaptation does a fantastic job at bringing each character to life, importantly demonstrating the differences in their personalities at different stages of their lives. Much of...

Welcome to Deadline’s International Disruptors, a feature where we shine a spotlight on key executives and companies outside of the U.S. shaking up the offshore marketplace. This week we’re talking to Alex García López, a director on Netflix’s epic adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez’s seminal novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. The first eight episodes land today (December 11) on the streamer and the Argentine director lifts the lid on the pressures that come with steering Netflix’s most ambitious Latin American project to date, why the project had to be set in Colombia and his next steps, which includes a move into the feature film space.

Alex Garcia Lopez is no stranger to directing big-budget and ambitious TV series, with shows such as fantasy drama The Witcher, neo-noir anime series Cowboy Bebop and Star Wars series The Acolyte among his list of credits. But when...

Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez’s 1967 magnum opus, “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” has long been considered one of the greatest works of modern literature. However, during Márquez’s life, he refused to sell the rights to the novel because he felt a film adaptation would not come close to scratching the surface of this century-long tale. Now, with the blessing of his sons Rodrigo García and Gonzalo García Barcha, who serve as executive producers, Netflix has adapted the sweeping masterwork into a two-part limited series spanning over 16 hours of television. (Netflix hasn’t yet announced when Part 2 will premiere.) With directors Alex García López and Laura Mora at the helm for Part 1, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is exquisitely detailed and layered in intricate symbolism. The show is one of the most faithful page-to-screen adaptations in recent years.

A tale of family, fate, power and the frailties of humanity,...

Since its publication in 1967, One Hundred Years of Solitude has been hailed as a classic of magical realism literature and one of the best sweeping family epics of the 20th century. Decades later, Netflix has brought the seminal novel by Gabriel García Márquez to life as a TV show with the care and attention to detail with which José Arcadio Buendía would sit at his alchemy table or Aureliano Buendía at the table making his golden fish. Though the first eight episodes only cover half of Márquez's book, it's clear that this was an adaptation worth waiting for.

In the town of Macondo, several generations of the Buendía family grapple with love, war, madness, and an inescapable curse that haunts their lineage. As they navigate the trials of fate, the epic tale of magical realism unfolds, exploring the intersection of history, myth, and human experience.

Cast Santiago Vasquez, Carlos Suárez,...

Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez’s masterpiece “One Hundred Years of Solitude” — an elliptical epic of fate, family, politics and madness in Macondo, a fictional town that represents the wider, tragic history of Colombia and Latin America as a whole — has been made into a Netflix series.

That’s Netflix; the streaming service better known for “Squid Game,” “Tiger King” and the more overpriced works of Ryan Murphy and Shonda Rhimes.

Bad idea, right? Well, to further quote that other prizeworthy wordsmith Olivia Rodrigo, “f—k it, it’s fine.”

More than fine, actually. The first season of this two-part, Spanish-language production can come across at times like a highbrow telenovela. But the sweeping pageant does an impressive job of streamlining García Márquez’s idiosyncratic, discursive novel into an expeditious but still thoughtful, contemplative and, yes, realistically magical eight hours.

The author’s sadness and humor come across intact; the...

Exclusive: Loving Pablo star Julieth Restrepo is set to star as Colombian politician and women’s rights pioneer Esmeralda Arboleda in Spanish-language feature Estimados Señores (Dear Gentlemen).

Arboleda, was a Colombian politician and the first woman elected to the Senate Of Colombia, serving from 1958-1961. A leader of the women’s suffrage movement in the country, she played an intrinsic role in achieving universal voting rights for women in the 1950s. The new film will chart how Arboleda managed to convince 70 of the most powerful men in Colombia to approve the vote for women, despite the powerful influence of the country’s religious right. Colombian actress Restrepo, also known for Amazon and AGC series Noticia De Un Secuestro with Juan Pablo Raba, and Netflix mini-series Griselda with Sofia Vergara, is due to star with Elkin Diaz (Memoria) and Claudio Cataño (Thousand Fangs).

With a soundtrack recorded by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in Wellington and sound engineer John Neill of Peter Jackson’s Park Road Studio serving as recording producer and score mixer, Latin America’s first multi-million dollar science fiction horror movie “Pacific,” is set to make a splash when it bows next year.
