Filming of 'Escape', the new film by Rodrigo Cortés with production by Martin Scorsese, ends

Rodrigo Cortés' new project, 'Escape', which is his first film in Spanish since his feature debut with the black comedy 'Concursante', which was followed by the cult hit 'Buried', has just wrapped filming with executive production by Martin Scorsese.

The film stars Mario Casas alongside prestigious actors and actresses such as Anna Castillo, José Sacristán, Josep María Pou and Blanca Portillo.

Escape, produced by Adrián Guerra and Núria Valls, of Nostromo Pictures, together with Rodrigo Cortés, also responsible for the script, is a free adaptation of the novel of the same name by the Spanish writer Enrique Rubio and has the executive produced by Martin Scorsese.

Filming took place for eight weeks. in several locations in Madrid and among the team leaders, Rafa Garcia in photography direction (love in its place), Ana Alvargonzález in Artistic direction (Bye black), Victor Reyes in the composition of the soundtrack (Buried, Love in its place) y Alberto Valcárcel in costume design (God's Crooked Lines, Paradise Hills).

Escape It is an evasion told in reverse. It is the story of a broken man who wants the State to take charge of his life and take away his freedom once and for all. The film raises questions, such as whether those who care about him will stop him from committing increasingly serious crimes and how far the judge will go to not grant his wish.

The film is a co-production of Nostromo Pictures with the French production company The Project, in association with Mogambo and Cosmopolitan TV, and with the support of RTVE and Movistar Plus+. Film Factory is in charge of international sales and Beta Fiction Spain will distribute the film in theaters in Spain.
