Peter Lanzani, star of some of the greatest films and series to come out of Argentina of late – “Argentina, 1985,” “El Angel,” “The Clan,” “4X4,” “Un Gallo Para Esculapio” – is set to make his directorial debut, helming a biopic of Argentine ‘80s rock icon Luca Prodan. Lanzani will also play Prodan.
Two other movers and shakers on Argentina’s film-tv scene, Argentina’s Armando Bo, an Academy Award winner for the screenplay of Alejandro González Inárritu’s “Birdman, or, Sergio Olguín, Lanzani and Fisner are writing the screenplay.
The big question is what through line they will drive between ‘70s class-bound, punk-energized Britain and an Argentina of the early ‘80s emerging from a bloody dictatorship.
The biopic is set up at Bo’s Rebolución, behind his 2012 Sundance hit, “The Last Elvis,” and his second feature as a director, “Animal,” and Bo’s About Entertainment, founded in 2020 to focus on high quality...

Director David Yarovesky is re-teaming with producer Sam Raimi on an action-thriller titled Locked, which was announced and detailed by Deadline today.
Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick) will also star in Locked, a remake of the Argentinian movie 4X4 that came from writers/directors Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat.
“Locked is an intense, character-driven thriller about a thief who breaks into a luxury SUV, only to realize that he’s stumbled into a complex and deadly trap set by a mysterious figure.”
Michael Arlen Ross (Oracle) wrote the script for the fresh remake.
“Dave Yarovesky so elevated the material on Nightbooks, and he was our first choice for this,” Raimi tells Deadline. “The script was so good and he’s such a good communicator that we were able to interest Anthony Hopkins, who for my generation is just about the greatest actor ever. Glen’s character has got a soul...

4x4 is a taut and claustrophobic bit of thriller. A thief (Peter Lanzani) attempts to steal a vehicle, the eponymous automobile. It does not go well. It is a snare. Not just the faux-fox badger-like badge on the grille like a challenge to a Duel, there's a decal marked Predator on the side. It'd be tempting to suggest the silver SUV was the Aristotlean unities with a trans-axle and limited-slip differentials, but that's slightly more pithy than accurate. Tragedy and, at times, comedy will follow, but the scale is a mite bigger than the four walls upon those four wheels. We can see either end of a quiet Argentinian street, from corner to T-Junction, dumpster to billboards.
There is a movie poster for an (as yet nonexistent) sequel - an Easter Egg, as The Man Next Door (properly El hombre de al lado) shares a director and producer with this.
