ABOUT

HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS INTERNATIONAL PRODUCING CHILEAN 3D FANTASY, ‘THE ELEMENTALS’

Feature from acclaimed Chilean director Jorge Olguin launches production in May

Hollywood Studios International (HSI) has joined forces with acclaimed Chilean horror/fantasy director Jorge Olguin and Chilean production company VisualBox Chile to produce the first live-action 3D feature film to be made in Chile—THE ELEMENTALS. Olguin is widely popular in Latin American following successes with a series of Spanish-language fantasy films in recent years, including the acclaimed 2002 vampire film, ETERNAL BLOOD. THE ELEMENTALS will be his first English-language film.

Latin TV stars Cristian Campos, Loreto Aravena, and Sofia Kaufmann have signed up to star in the picture. HSI executives will handle producing duties, including Dave Brown, president of Artist International, HSI’s talent management division and the representative for director Jorge Olguin, as Producer; Steven Saxton, HSI Chairman/CEO as Executive Producer; and Eric Christenson, President of HSI Films, the company’s distribution arm, as Executive Producer. Christenson will be selling worldwide distribution rights of THE ELEMENTALS at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival. VisualBox Chile is providing 3D camera rigs and the post-production infrastructure for the project, allowing it to be shot locally in Latin America on a modest budget.

Olguin expects to begin filming THE ELEMENTALS in late May as his first English-language feature film. The movie will be shot on the site of real-life ecological battles in the Arauco region of Chile.
