” has put into development a fiction series adaptation of Mabel Lozano’s prized same-titled non-fiction work.
Published in 2018 by Editorial Alrevés in Spain, “El Proxeneta” won the prestigious Rodolfo Walsh Award for best non-fiction book, and has gone through eight editions. In a key creative decision, the series will be narrated from the POV of not only El Músico, but also Claudia, a Colombian sex slave, and a police detective who dedicated his whole career to bring El Músico to justice.
She added: “Precisely related to this, it’s also a challenge to transform such a tough story, so close to reality, into a powerful tale which fascinates and moves as much as we were fascinated and moved by Mabel Lozano’s book.” She added: “In our country, no more than a score of delinquents were the ‘creators’ of this so perverse way of exploiting the most vulnerable. El Músico was one of them.”
Bowing at Cannes in Premiere, “The Beasts,” directed by Sorogoyen, went on to score 327,125 admissions in France and €6.8 million in Spain, sweeping this year’s Spanish Academy Goya Awards and winning a French Academy Cesar for best foreign-language film.
