The western returns to the Spanish cinema. In past
decades they came to shoot in Spain hundreds of movies cowboys, Indians and
gunmen, films produced from here alone or with the participation of other
European countries, which were a great success.
Stop Over in Hell is the working title of the upcoming
western now shooting produced by Andres Acevedo who also produced La bala que
dobló la esquina and Parada en el Infierno for IEA. A teaser for the film will
be presented Sunday, Oct. 11, during the course of the closure of the V edition
of the Almeria Western Film Festival, which will take place at the Teatro de
Tabernas from 21:15 hours.
This is the third feature film directed by Victor
Matellano, counting this time with a cast that includes one of the fathers of
the Euro-western, actor and director Enzo G. Castellari, author of the mythical
Keoma, mentor Quentin Tarantino, and honored at the Almeria Western Film
Festival in 2014.
The film, shot in English and written by Juan Gabriel
García and Antonio Duran in Matellano own, focuses on the assault of a gold
shipment. It will be a modern approach and will update old myths of the western
cinema, sparing action, violence and heightened tension.
Alongside Castellari, the cast includes international
actor Tania Watson, Pablo Scola, Veky Velilla, Denis Rafter, Maarten
Dannenberg, Armando Buika, Tábata Cerezo and Andrea Bronston, daughter of
legendary producer Samuel Bronston. Also featured in guest appearances by
Manuel Bandera, Nadia de Santiago and Guillermo Montesinos.
In the illustrious roster of technicians, highlighting
the participation of special effects Colin Arthur, author of the effects for
The Neverending Story and the western Legend of Bill Doolin. Also a classic
western décorator, Jose Luis Galicia, author of A Fistful of Dollars, here as
an Art Consultant. Meanwhile the action will be choreographed by Ricardo Cruz
Ardura, who currently performs this task in the Game of Thrones TV series.
Despite the nature of the previous feature films in
Matellano, Wax and Vampyres, this time it departs from the fantasy and horror,
being a modern day film but with the key themes of the western genre.
Stop Over in Hell is filmed entirely in Spain, where
years ago Italian director Sergio Leone, was on location in Manzanares el Real,
Titulcia, Almería, Granada and especially on sets built and decorated in
Colmenar Viejo.
