| IN PRODUCTION |

| Midnight in Paris |
A romantic comedy that follows a family travelling to the city for business. The party includes a young engaged couple that has their lives transformed throughout the journey. The film celebrates a young man’s great love for Paris, and simultaneously explores the illusion people have that a life different from their own is better.
“Midnight in Paris” stars Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard, Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates and Carla Bruni. Also in the cast are Michael Sheen, Nina Arianda, Tom Hiddleston, Corey Stoll, Mimi Kennedy and Kurt Fuller. The film will be filmed in Paris. |

| Amador |
Reposado PC and MEDIAPRO co-produce the latest feature-length film written and directed by Fernando León de Aranoa, whose filming has just come to a finish.
Marcela is a young woman with financial problems who looks after a bed-ridden old man, Amador, in the summer months and who has no family to fall back on. Both are hiding things which nobody else knows about. Two strangers, Marcela and Amador, take little time to reveal their secrets to each other.
An unexpected event puts the girl in a difficult position.
But Amador and Marcela have, although they don’t know it yet, reached an agreement and they prove that death isn’t always capable of putting an end to life.
The film stars Magaly Solier, Celso Bugallo, Pietro Sibille, Sonia Almarcha and Fanny de Castro.
“Amador” is Fernando León de Aranoa’s sixth film, following on from “Princesas”, “Los lunes al sol” (both MEDIAPRO co-productions), “Familia”, “Barrio” and “Caminantes”. |

Gasolina
|
A Melindrosa Films and Buena Onda Américas production, in coproduction by MEDIAPRO, directed by Guatemalan Julio Hernández Cordón.
“Gasolina” tells how three teenagers, Gerardo, Nano and Raymundo steal petrol so that they can drive around aimlessly in a car at night. A journey in which each stop is a run-in with reality sorely testing their friendship, normally a thin line between betrayal, deception and kamikaze-type solidarity. This is also an intimate tale in which the moments of sincerity and nervous strain define a group of youngsters, portray a country and give us a look at their future.
