Madrid — Madrid’s Latido Films, one of the Spanish-speaking world’s top sales companies for arthouse and crossover films, acquired world sales rights to Dominican director José María Cabral’s in progress “Hotel Coppelia.”
The news comes as Latido has revealed a slew of sales on top titles. Their number suggests a larger depth to this year’s Cannes Film Market, allowing the company to push out two dozen or more deals in largely major territories.
“The Realm,” the latest feature from Oscar nominated Rodrigo Sorogoyen (“The Mother”) and Spanish Academy Award submission “Champions” lead many of the sales with “The Realm” going to Somos in the U.S., Impacto in Argentina, Vision in China, A-z Films in Canada and Cineplex in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia.
Cabral’s “Hotel Coppelia” is based on the true stories of five women who, during the 1965 Dominican Civil War, made tremendous personal sacrifice to protect their own liberties.

Alejandro Brugués talks Juan of the Dead, on DVD August 14
Two friends hatch a plan to launch a zombie extermination service after their picturesque island is overrun by the living dead in Juan of the Dead, a satirical horror film from director Alejandro Brugués. Fast, fun and hilarious, Juan of the Dead gives a decidedly Latin touch to the zombie genre, along with a winking nod to the zom-com hit, Shaun of the Dead.
To celebrate the film's arrival on DVD this week, we caught up with Alejandro to find out how this crazy, blood-splattered epic came together. Here is our conversation.
We have Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, and now Juan of the Dead, all of which manage to be their own movie. How were you inspired by these first two zombie classics in making this, while never ripping off either of them? Cause really,...

“Juan of the Dead,” Cuba’s first zombie movie, has garnered attention just for its mere existence -- a zom-com shot on location in Havana! What a new and exciting cinematic oddity! Despite, and because of its exotic origins, “Juan of the Dead” lives up to the hype, more than delivering the goods as a raucous horror comedy, deeply schooled in the zombie genre, with a uniquely Cuban flavor.
A Spanish/Cuban co-production directed by Cuban native Alejandro Brugués, half of the pleasure in the film is enjoying the scenery and grand architecture of this majestic, dilapidated city. Havana truly is one of the characters in the film, and plays an important story role. But first, we need to meet our middle-aged heroes: the lanky, laconic Juan (Alexis Díaz de Villegas), a survivor of most everything, and the rotund Lazaro (Jorge Molina), his goofy sidekick, who fills out a wetsuit like nobody’s business.
