Overview
- The film released its official trailer and is now in postproduction, marking the main public step in its promotion.
- Director Javier Márquez leads the project and cast Aníbal Lozano as José Olaya, with Lozano undergoing roughly 18 months of physical and swim training for ocean scenes.
- The trailer and director interviews emphasize extensive on-location sea filming at sites such as the Fortaleza del Real Felipe, Isla San Lorenzo and Isla Palomino.
- Production favored practical effects, building full period sets that included a recreated neighborhood burned for a scene and using live animals under logistical support from the Peruvian Navy and Army.
- The film positions itself as a large-scale national biopic that focuses on José Olaya’s human side, and the next major item to watch is when the producers announce an official theatrical release date.
