Bloody Disgusting has learned that Spanish filmmaker F. Javier Gutiérrez (Before the Fall, Rings) is currently shooting his new movie, The Wait (La Espera), in Seville, Spain.
Produced by Spal Films (Before the Fall), Nostromo Pictures (Buried, Penny Dreadful) and Gutierrez’s production company Unfiled Films, the upcoming horror movie stars Victor Clavijo (Before the Fall), Ruth Diaz, Manuel Moron and Luis Callejo (Below Zero).
Based on an original script written by Gutierrez, The Wait has been described to Bloody Disgusting as being a “love letter to the horror/fantasy genre”.
In the film, “Eladio (Victor Clavijo), an upright ranch caretaker, takes a bribe from a veteran hunter. Weeks later, his whole life falls apart. What looked like the opportunity of a lifetime, turns into a nightmare when he discovers that his bad fortune isn’t casual.”
Gutierrez has been working on this personal indie project under the radar while writing and financing his upcoming remake of Bigas Luna’s cult horror, Anguish (1987).
Considered one of the top genre filmmakers in Spain, Gutierrez has been previously attached to the new adaptation of James O’Barr’s graphic novel The Crow, as well as the remake of Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs.
