In one of the later deals pacted at the San Sebastian Festival, Spain’s David Matamoros of Doce Entertainment boarded Matías Rojas’s adaptation of Chilean cult novel “Dog Legs” (“Patas de perro”), joining four other producers from Chile, France, Germany and Colombia.
\n\nWith this, “Dog Paws” enters the final phase of its financing and is expected to shoot in Valdivia, Chile during the second half of next year. Chile’s ever popular Alfredo Castro (Pablo Larraín’s “The Count,” “The Club”) is attached to star.
\n\n“Spain’s involvement decisively strengthens the project and puts us in a very strong position to complete its financing,” said Federico Durán, the film’s Colombian producer through his new company El Sol Ermitaño. Durán, who has produced such notable films as “The Squad” and “Alias María,” just won a major post production award for his WIP project “Lovers Go Home!” at San Sebastián.
\n\n“’Dog Legs’ is an ambitious project, both technically and artistically, but it also aims to reach a broad audience,” he told Variety.
\n\nMatamoros, whose credits include “The Platform” and “The Virgin of the Quarry,” was also a producer at Zentropa Spain, the company founded by Lars von Trier.
