LOS MU\u00c9RTIMER immediately brings you back to your own childhood. [\u2026] The opportunity to make a family film with so many layers, centered on teenage characters with real conflict and depth, is not something that comes along very often. Combining horror and adventure with a generous dose of comedy has been a breath of fresh air for me <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2014 said the director.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Following the success of Perfectos desconocidos and El cuarto pasajero, Telecinco Cinema and Pokeepsie Films, part of Banijay Iberia, are once again joining forces on a film that will be released theatrically by Paramount Pictures Spain. <\/strong><\/p>\n

LOS MU\u00c9RTIMER, the new film produced by Telecinco Cinema and Pokeepsie Films, part of Banijay Iberia, with Ghislain Barrois, \u00c1lvaro Augustin, Carolina Bang and \u00c1lex de la Iglesia serving as producers, has unveiled its first poster and a new selection of images ahead of its theatrical release on August 14 through Paramount Pictures Spain. The film is directed by \u00c1lvaro Fern\u00e1ndez Armero, whose credits include Ocho apellidos marroqu\u00edes, Si yo fuera rico and Sentimos las molestias.<\/p>\n

The cast includes V\u00edctor Clavijo, Alexandra Jim\u00e9nez, Fele Mart\u00ednez, Bel\u00e9n Rueda and Pepe Lorente, alongside young actors Diego Montejo, Iratxe Emparan, Melani, Adri\u00e1n Checa and Bruna Gonz\u00e1lez, among others. Written by Jelen Morales, the film is a mystery adventure combining horror and dark humor, based on the successful LOS MU\u00c9RTIMER graphic novel trilogy by young French illustrator L\u00e9a Maz\u00e9.

Director \u00c1lvaro Fern\u00e1ndez Armero said: \u201cLOS MU\u00c9RTIMER is one of those projects that immediately brings you back to your own childhood, from Stand by Me and The Goonies to My Girl and The Three Investigators book series. I connected with the screenplay instantly and felt a complete sense of empathy with the story.
\u201cThe opportunity to make a family film with so many layers, centered on teenage characters with real conflict and depth, is not something that comes along very often. Combining horror and adventure with a generous dose of comedy has been a breath of fresh air for me.\u201d

SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Nico (Diego Montejo) is an intelligent and introverted fifteen-year-old who is bullied at school because his parents own the town\u2019s only funeral home. Hoping to make a friend, he signs up for a cultural exchange program.
There is only one problem: the exchange student turns out to be a girl. Gabrielle (Iratxe Emparan) is a defiant young French woman who is used to almost anything except living surrounded by the dead. <\/p>\n

When Pol (Pepe Lorente), a gravestone carver, tells them one of the many mysterious stories hidden within the local cemetery, they decide to investigate. Their discovery of a body and a collection of stolen jewelry goes far beyond anything they expected. When they return to the scene with Nico\u2019s parents, played by Alexandra Jim\u00e9nez and V\u00edctor Clavijo, everything has disappeared and, naturally, no one believes them. From that moment on, Gabi and Nico begin receiving threats and are pursued just as they are being harassed by their usual bullies, Marc, Sof\u00eda and Raquel, played by Adri\u00e1n Checa, Bruna Gonz\u00e1lez and Melani. The situation forces all five of them to flee together. <\/p>\n

Now that Marc, Sof\u00eda and Raquel also know what it feels like to be threatened, they have no choice but to join the investigation. Gabi, Nico, Marc, Sof\u00eda and Raquel form an unlikely group determined to uncover the truth, even if doing so means entering the dark adult world waiting for them. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
