Chilean star writer José Ignacio “Chascas” Valenzuela, creator, showrunner and executive producer of hit Netflix series “Who Killed Sara?” has formed a production company with L.A.-based Argentine producer Lucas Akoskin of Aliwen Entertainment.
The new bi-coastal production company, called Malule Entertainment, will be based out of Los Angeles and Miami, where Valenzuela resides. Both partners have lived in the U.S. for more than 20 years.
Hinting at the type of films and TV series they’ll be producing, Valenzuela said: “I’m most interested in exploring the chance to collaborate with first-rate screenwriters and, at the same time, give emerging Latin American writers the opportunity to write hybrid stories that mix genres and formats.”
“Who said that a thriller cannot be written as if it were a melodrama? Why can’t a romantic comedy have, in addition to a powerful love story, a layer of suspense?” he pointed out.

Exclusive: Disney is reviving a cult classic favorite, The Rocketeer, with a new Disney+ movie titled The Return of the Rocketeer. David and Jessica Oyelowo are producing under their Yoruba Saxon banner. The project, written by Ed Ricourt, will also be a possible starring project for the Selma actor.
The original movie, released in 1991, was directed by Joe Johnston and adapted from Dave Stevens’ graphic novel. In that film, which made close to $47 million at the domestic box office and became a fan fave for the studio, a young pilot stumbles onto a prototype jetpack that allows him to become a high-flying masked hero.
The Return of the Rocketeer will have an all-new creative directive, with Ricourt’s story focusing on a retired Tuskegee airman who takes up the Rocketeer mantle.

"It must feel good... to be home." Vertical Entertainment has premiered the main official trailer for an indie kidnapping thriller titled Captive, marking the feature directorial of filmmaker Savvas Christou originally from Cyprus. This first premiered at the Frightening Ass Film Fest last year, and also stopped by the Nevermore and HorrorHound Film Festivals this year. Originally titled Katherine's Lullaby, the film is about a teenage runaway who's trapped by a delusional man who thinks she's his daughter. She'll have to play the part to survive and hopefully escape. Tori Kostic stars as Lily, with a small cast including William Kircher, Jolene Andersen, and Meghan Hanako. This doesn't look like it's very different or offers anything more distinct than any of the other dozens of kidnapping and escape survival thrillers made recently. Still, I'm expecting this will have some twists and turns by the end... just has that vibe. Take a look.
