Regarding the start of filming, which takes place from today in various locations and sets in Buenos Aires, the director of “Pizza, birra, faso”, “Okupas” and “Un gallo para Esculapio” shared his vision for the series.
“For me ‘El Eternauta’ represents my old man bringing me the weekly installments of comics. I think it was one of the first things I read in its entirety in my life, at the age of 10, and it had a profound influence on my way of understanding fiction made in my country,” Stagnaro told the press.
“The sensation that that first reading left me -he continued- accompanied me throughout my life and, in some way, it had a great influence on what I did later… where the city is a living presence, almost like one more character”.
In addition, he said he believes that “part of the charm” of making this production is “understanding how to go through the technical difficulty involved in building the world in which it happens.”: “This will be an unusual challenge for our industry and that is something that personally motivates me a lot because I feel that it can establish a precedent so that later it is no longer so difficult to face this type of project in our country”.
Stagnaro: “To be faithful to that child reader who looked at history for the first time”
Stagnaro assured that his approach to adaptation will be that of “to be faithful to that child reader who looked at history for the first timetry to rebuild the genuine emotion of living an adventure in the corner of your neighborhood and the construction of that great Argentine hero that is Juan Salvo”.
For his part, Matías Mosteirin, executive producer of K&S Films, added: “Producing ‘El Eternauta’ is an enormous technical and artistic challenge, and it entails a great responsibility, that is why we are working with the best, with extremely talented Argentine professionals and with a great author and director such as Bruno. Years ago we worked on the development of this project to make sure that it was up to the quality of the work”.
He also expanded Martín M. Oesterheld, grandson of the author of the original workwho participates as a creative consultant for this series, and spoke of the “true challenge for the entire Argentine audiovisual medium” that the proposal implies: “Science fiction with a local look, from this ‘Southern Hemisphere that is also part of the planet’, my dearest grandfather would say”, he maintained.
