Stanley Tucci is set to star in Oscar-winning “The Others” and “Babel” director Alejandro Amenabar’s first TV series “La Fortuna” which is being produced by both AMC and Movistar+.
Based on Paco Roca and Guillermo Corral’s graphic novel “The Treasure Of The Black Swan,” the six-part event series follows Alex Ventura (Alvaro Mel), a young and inexperienced Spanish diplomat, who by chance ends up leading a mission to recuperate a fabulous sunken treasure trove discovered by adventurer Frank Wild (Stanley Tucci).
Teaming with combative public official Lucia (Ana Polvorosa) and American lawyer Jonas Pierce (Clarke Peters), Ventura sets out on the adventure of a lifetime, discovering the importance of love, friendship and commitment to one’s beliefs. T’Nia Miller, Karra Elejalde, Manolo Solo, Blanca Portillo and Pedro Casablanc also star.
The series, one of the most ambitious and expensive shows ever made out of Spain and inspired by a real life legal battle, goes into production this week in Spain and later North American and will premiere in late 2021 on AMC in the United States.
