Filming has wrapped on In the Valley of Shadows (En el Valle de las Sombras), a Netflix movie based on an H.G. Wells 1904 short story, "The Country of the Blind," Deadline reported. The film, which was shot in Colombia, will have a theatrical release locally before releasing worldwide on the streamer.
Directed by Sebastián Cordero from a screenplay he wrote with María Camila Arias, the movie stars Gael García Bernal, Natalia Reyes, Claudio Cataño, Diego Vásquez, Irina Loaiza, and Margarita Rosa de Francisco.
Dynamo produced the film for Netflix, "which has built a deep slate of original movies and series out of Latin America," Deadline wrote, adding that the adaptation "follows Álvar Toledano (García Bernal), a mountaineer, who falls into an isolated valley inhabited by a community that has been blind for generations."
