The script will be written by Luis Murillo, the original author of “The Black Octopus”, who along with his son Luis Murillo Arias (screenwriter of “El Internado”, the successful series of Antena 3) will maintain the spirit of the legendary series of the ’80s adjusting it into a modern version for the current times.

The project will be produced by 16: 9 Cine and Black Mandala, with the support of Hernán Moyano (“Cold Sweat”, “Penumbra”), one of the main references of Latin American genre film, along with Roberta Sanchez, who also carry out the upcoming production “Under your Feet “, it will be co-produced by Warner Bros., Haddock Films and Tornasol Films.
