Sundance Channel Ventures Into Scripted Series Realm With Mini ‘Carlos’ This Fall

Rainbow Outlet Follows AMC’s Lead Starting With Mini ‘Carlos’ This Fall

by Kent Gibbons

Sundance Channel is following sister Rainbow Media network AMC into the scripted series realm, leading off this fall with a three-night miniseries, Carlos, starring Edgar Ramirez as the famed international terrorist.

“We couldn’t be happier to have Carlos as our first out of the gate scripted project,” Sundance general manager Sarah Barnett said at a press briefing in New York City Tuesday morning. “It’s urgent, it’s important and it’s addictive, fascinating, roller-coaster storytelling.”Carlos, coming to Sundance Channel

The production, directed by French filmmaker Olivier Assayas (Summer Hours), starts with the early career of “Carlos the Jackal” in the early 1970s. Barnett said of star Ramirez (Che): “He is devastatingly attractive. He has this charisma, which I think is a big part of the story. You see him become the myth. You see how he works with law enforcement, and works with the media, to really become this mythic, scary but also glamorous playboy, international terrorist.”

She added: “You see a lot of Edgar Ramirez in this production and the ladies ain’t complaining, let me say that.”

The film’s real-life subject, by the way, is suing the filmmakers, Film en Stock, which shot it for France’s Canal Plus, for editorial control, to protect his image.

Rainbow Entertainment Services COO Ed Carroll said Sundance swill run the miniseries on three consecutive days — much as sister service AMC did with its adaptation of The Prisoner last November to maximize marketing resources behind the project, which will screen at the Cannes Film Festival. Carroll noted that Sundance was further looking to boost the film’s profile by hopefully running it during the New York Film Festival.

The Notable Films of 2010

Carlos the Jackal

Opens: Spring 2010
Cast: Edgar Ramirez, Alexander Beyer, Anna Thalbach, Susanne Wuest, Julia Hummer
Director: Olivier Assayas

Summary: The story of Venezuelan revolutionary, Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, who founded a worldwide terrorist organization and raided the OPEC headquarters in 1975 before being caught by the French police in 1994. For twenty years he was known to the world by a different name, the assassin Carlos the Jackal.

Analysis: It’s funny to think that despite being one of the most famous assassins to have ever lived, there hasn’t really been an accurate biopic about Carlos even as his moniker has been used numerous times in film and fiction with little care for the real life facts. The closest I can recall, aside from Barbet Schroder’s 2007 documentary “Terror’s Advocate” about Carlos’ lawyer, was 1997’s little seen but enjoyable “The Assignment” which still ended up being only very loosely based on true events. Certainly that film was a lot better than the odious Bruce Willis-led “The Jackal” which opened the same year.

Now, along comes director Olivier Assayas (“Summer Hours,” “Alice et Martin”) delivering his first biopic which traces the life of Carlos from his first operation in London in 1974 to his capture and arrest by the Sudanese and French authorities in Khartoum in 1994. Edgar Ramirez (“Che,” “The Bourne Ultimatum”) stars as Carlos in the project which will include events such as the 1975 OPEC hostage-taking in Vienna. The possibilities here are rich considering Carlos had dealings with all sorts of different regimes throughout the Cold War including the PLO, the Soviets, the East German Stasi, the Japanese Red Army, Iraq under Saddam, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen.

In interviews, Assayas said he had an incredible level of freedom for the project and could essentially do what he wanted with a rather sizeable budget. Blending Super 16 and 35mm film photography, the film’s language is around half-English, the rest in mostly Spanish or French. Shot during the first half of 2009 in Austria, France, Germany, Hungary and Morocco, the project will be released in two different versions. A 120-minute theatrical cut will be screened internationally in the Spring after a three-part 270-minute mini-series version airs on French cable television next month. IFC Films will release the shorter cut States-side in theatres and on VOD, the longer cut will probably have to be imported on DVD later in the year.

Galán de película

Edgar Ramírez

Aunado a su atractivo físico, el indetenible ascenso artístico del tachirense Edgar Ramírez, lo hace el andino más bello de este año. El otrora Cacique de la telenovela Cosita Rica, sigue avanzando en Hollywood sin prisa pero sin pausa. Tras su participación en películas como Domino, Vantage Point y The Bourne Ultimatum, este año se le vio como Ciro Rondón en Guerrilla y El Argentino, el par de filmes de Steven Soderbergh, que versan sobre la vida del Che Guevara. Además exploró la faceta de productor ejecutivo con Venezzia, es la imagen de la campaña de prevención de la Fundación Senosalud y vocero de Amnistía Internacional en la campaña “No dispares”. También es imagen de varias campañas publicitarias, en las que hace gala de su carisma.

“Edgar es un joven con excelentes modales”, dice Dagoberto Parra, uno de los jueces. Edgar seguirá despuntando en Hollywood. En 2010 se estrenará la película en la que encarna a Carlos Illich Ramírez “El Chacal”, así como el thriller Viene el jaguar y la producción colombiana Saluda al diablo de mi parte.

La guía de lo que hay que ver en el 2010!

Saluda al Diablo de mi Parte
Dirigida por Juan Felipe Orozco

El equipo colombiano detrás de la notable Al Final del Espectro viene a la carga con su segundo largometraje, una película que se aleja de los clichés colombianos para presentarnos un producto de exportación, una cinta netamente intrigante, con una fotografía fantastica y un trabajo que nunca se había visto por estos lados. En Saluda al Diablo de mi Parte conoceremos a Ángel (Édgar Ramírez) quien junto con su hija son raptados por un poderoso hombre llamado Léder (Ricardo Vélez), quien en el pasado habría sido víctima de un grupo de secuestradores del que hacía parte Ángel. Durante el secuestro Léder perdió la movilidad de sus piernas. Ahora varios años después, en silla de ruedas, y acompañado de su hermana Helena (Carolina Gómez), Léder está dispuesto a todo con tal de lograr venganza contra quienes destruyeron su vida. Contra su voluntad, Ángel deberá ser el instrumento de venganza de Léder, aniquilando a todos los que participaron en el secuestro de Léder y quienes alguna vez fueron sus compañeros, si es que quiere ver a su hija con vida…

Feha de Estreno: 2010
