Benito Zambrano attached to direct Jesus Carrasco’s ‘Out in the Open’

‘Spain’s Benito Zambrano, whose “Habana Blues” played in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard, is attached to direct “Intemperie” (Out in the Open) byJesus Carrasco, starring Luis Tosar (“Miami Vice”) and produced by Juan Gordon at Morena Films whose “Everybody Knows” opened this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

Written by brothers Pablo and Daniel Remón, “Out in the Open” adapts a 2013 novel by Jesus Carrasco which took the 2013 Frankfurt Book Fair by storm.

A ”visceral thriller with Western beats,” said Gordon, it is set in a dirt-poor post-Civil War Spain, narrating the building friendship between two outcasts, a boy who flees his village and a solitary shepherd.

Spanish pubcaster RTVE and pay TV operator Movistar + have both pre-bought the movie.’
