Nacho Vigalondo Bringing ‘Gangland’ to America

Nacho Vigalondo is coming to America.  The writer/director of ‘Timecrimes’ is bringing his original idea, ‘Gangland,’ to the states with Pat Healy (“In Treatment”) set to write the screenplay and Vigalondo himself set to direct. Mandate Pictures and Academy Award-winning screenwriter Steven Zaillian will produce.

‘Gangland’ will be a comedy about video game developers who promise to deliver the most realistic game of all time, GANGLAND. The team find themselves in hot water when they find themselves in a real-life gang-land situation.

Says Zaillian:

Nacho’s work in Spain is consistently innovative and energetic. In particular, we’re huge fans of his film, TIMECRIMES, and are excited to have the chance to develop another of his very original ideas with our partners at Mandate.

Film Rites, the venture set up between Mandate and Zaillian, has a first-look deal with Sony Pictures.
