El Conde
An endless source for film narratives including several in his own filmography, Pablo Larraín decides to reimagine (and do some dentistry) to Pinochet in what is being pitched as a comedy noir. Production began in June of last year with the likes of Jaime Vadell, Gloria Münchmeyer, Alfredo Castro and Paula Luchsinger toplining a film where the Chilean dictator is a 250-year-old vampire. El Conde got picked up by the Netflix folks early. This is obviously produced by Fabula’s Juan de Dios Larraín.
Gist: . co-writer Guillermo Calderón revolves around Augusto Pinochet who is not dead but an aged vampire who, after 250 years in this world, has decided to die once and for all, due to ailments brought about by his dishonor and family conflicts.
Release Date/Prediction: Look for this to hit Venice, Telluride and TIFF.
