Anacleto: Agente secreto finishes its rolling

09/25/2014

Imanol Arias and Quim Gutierrez have been shooting in Barcelona, under the direction of Javier Ruiz Caldera (Three many weddings), an action comedy based on the popular Spanish comic by Vazquez. 

This summer the Catalan capital also hosted the rolling of the adaptation of the comic Anacleto: Agente secreto, an action comedy with explosives, chasings and firefights. Locations such as the Congress Palace of Montjuïc, converted into the entrance hall of a train station; the Post Office building of Barcelona, which became the offices of the agency where the protagonist works, as well as its surrounding streets, which were a great scenery to film several persecutions; the dungeons of the Castle of Montjuïc, where they filmed the scenes that take place in prison; or Can Batlló, the industrial space where they recorded some studio footage, were some of the scenarios chosen.

Quim Gutiérrez stars Adolfo, a young man that discovers that his father, Imanol Arias, is a famous secret agent. Between murders and state secrets, Adolfo decides to assume the identity of his father to save his life, his father's and the live of Katia, his beloved, played by Oona Chaplin. The film also counts with Rossy de Palma, playing Katia's mother, Berto Romero, playing Katia's brother, and Carlos Areces, who plays Vázquez, the bad guy of the story.

The film is a Zeta Cinema production, that counts with the participation of TVE, TVC and Canal +, which will be distributed by Warner and will hit the theatres in 2015.
