Telefe and Telefilms’ new production company The Magic Eye are teaming up to co-produce a bio-series about Roberto Sanchez, otherwise known as Sandro, the Elvis of Argentina.
Deal was announced at the La Screenings. Sanchez was known as the precursor of national rock, having been the first to introduce this genre in Argentina with Spanish-language cover versions of iconic rock songs.
“Sandro de America” will begin each episode with a song that reps or illustrates a stage in Sandro’s tumultuous life and career. Production kicks off in the next few weeks with a target air date for 2017 on Telefe. Telefe and Telefilm will jointly handle international distribution.
The bio-series genre is a growing trend among Latin American broadcasters with Sony Pictures Television (Spt) leading the pack. Spt Latin America is currently developing its most ambitious bio-series to date with “El Comandante,” starring Colombia’s Andres Parra as Venezuela’s controversial late president Hugo Chavez.
