Brazil’s José Padilha, director of “Narcos” and writer-director-producer of the “Elite Squad” feature film diptych, has been signed by Globo Studios to write, direct and produce a Globoplay original series about Marielle Franco, the Brazilian black, gay female human rights activist assassinated in a still-unresolved murder.
The series, a high-profile addition to Latin America’s burgeoning premium content offer, marks a stand-out addition to Globoplay’s lineup, one of Latin America’s fastest-growing Svod original production powerhouses. Launched in 2015, Globo’s freemium Svod service in Brazil which had over 22 million unique visitors a month by the beginning of the year, aims to release 20 original productions in 2020.
Creative Artists Agency (CAA) will negotiate all international distribution agreements. Padilha indicated that it is looking for an “international partnership to exhibit the series worldwide. The idea is to tell [Franco’s] incredible life story to the greatest number of people, inside and outside the country.
