The film, which is currently in production, is being produced by Juanita Films, the same company behind Paulo’s latest Netflix original, the psychological thriller series The Last Night at Tremore Beach.
Screenwriter Marini, co-creator of two Movistar Plus+ hits, the Spanish intelligence thriller La Unidad and Marbella, a fun drama thriller set in the dastardly world of Marbella’s drug gangs, is currently set to make one of his early directorial efforts with Lobo for La Unidad and Gangs of Galicia producer Vaca Films.
The miniseries “Lobo”, which is currently being filmed, is inspired by the case of Manuel Blanco Romasanta, the first recorded serial killer in Spain. Manuel Blanco Romasanta was a traveling tailor from rural Galicia who, when arrested in 1852, claimed in his defense that he was a werewolf. “Robo” stars Luis Tosar (“Sky High”) and stars Tristan Ulloa (“Berlin”). Marini co-wrote the film with “La Unidad” editor Juan Galiñanes and co-directed with “Gangs of Galicia” co-director Javier Rodríguez Delgado.

Sistiaga is co-directing the documentary film Miguel Ángel Blanco: Last 48 Hours, Cambiarón Tudo, co-directed with Juanjo López and produced by the Tintilín team.
The film depicts the two days after Blanco was abducted by the terrorist group ETA in 1997, as millions of people rallied to stop the death threats. “A painfully belated death that left an indelible mark on Spanish society. This documentary revisits the defining moment of solidarity and compassion when Basque society lost its fear of ETA,” Netflix said in a statement on Monday.
This will continue in the future.
