Argentine Academy Award winner Juan José Campanella (“The Secret in Their Eyes”) is planning “Outlaw,” a reboot of El Zorro, inspired by his take on the historical figure behind the legend, Joaquín Murrieta, the director announced at an online presentation of Viacom International Studios 2020-21 slate.
Part of his first-look deal with Viacom International Studios, “Outlaw” will be “told with much more realism,” he added.
Campanella also announced further details of drama-thriller series “Los Enviados,” which looks like the first title to go before the cameras from his first-look deal with Vis, announced last May.
Led by Pierluigi Gazzolo, president, Studios and Ott, ViacomCBS Networks International, Vis top executives also used the presentation to announce renewals and deliver an update on a swathe of new titles announced over the last few months.
Murrieta is still portrayed by some sources as a petty horse thief. Campanella, however, is taking a different tack,...

Pamplona, Spain — Nacho Viale and Diego Palacio’s StoryLab – producers of the Netflix-acquired TV series “Estocolmo” and co-producers of Intl. Emmy nominated “La Casa del Mar” -have pitched their eight-part crime and historical thriller, “Lost Toys,” at the Europe-Latin America co-production forum, Conecta Fiction.
Since its foundation by Viale in 2014, Storylab has become one of Argentina’s strongest TV producers in terms of TV series with international potential.
“Lost Toys” jumps between two time-frames – 1936 Madrid and present-day Spain and Argentina – and is set against the backdrop of the rise of extreme right and left-wing movements in both these two historic periods.
The story begins with the investigations of a genius mathematician, Dante Cabo, who discovers that the secret behind a synchronized robot protecting four safe deposit boxes in Buenos Aires, is linked to four tiny wooden horses hand-carved by Adolf Hitler in 1936. Lost in the meantime, they hide the...
