Exclusive: Brazilian director José Eduardo Belmonte and actor Rodrigo Lombardi are re-teaming for Em Suas Mãos (In Your Hands). The New York-set indie movie follows two Brazilian immigrants living in New York who are hellbent on revenge after a family member is killed and the perpetrator goes unpunished
Belmonte and Lombardi previously worked together on award-winning Brazilian drama Carcereiros (Jailers). The Globo series scooped the Grand Jury Award at the MIPDrama event in Cannes back in 2017.
Belmonte unpacked the backstory to his new project. “In 2018, we were living through an explosion of hatred and division, which greatly intrigued me,” he told Deadline.
“During the pandemic, I reached out to screenwriter and adjunct professor at Columbia, Fábio Andrade, and together we developed a story about revenge. Fábio brought a lot of his experience as a Brazilian in New York.”
Em Suas Mãos will be shot mostly in English, with some scenes in Portuguese or Spanish.

Winner Takes All. Maybe the biggest trend at this year’s Mipcom, judged by titles on show and announcements – think Rtl/Beta’s “Sisi,” the Alliance’s “Around the World in 80 Days” or Vis’ just-announced “Bosé” – was the move into big high-end event series based on big big IP.
The Hollywood studios have been doing this for years of course. Now, when it comes to bringing blockbusters onto the open market, it’s largely the turn of the the world’s big independents. Brazil’s Globo, Latin America’s biggest media company, is no exception. On Oct. 20, in a milestone move, it will bow the first 10 episodes of “Hidden Truths II,” its biggest 2021 scripted play.
It’s the second season of a jewel in Globo’s modern crown. Airing from 11 p.m. on TV Globo, the group’s main free-to-air channel, from June to September 2015, “Hidden Truths” hit massive...
