La Sombra

La Sombra will be one film that will catch the countries attention with its breathtaking storyline concerning Spanish hit men failing to meet a drug cartel lord’s duty. This movie is one of the most anticipated films of year.

La Sombra is going to show case a character that is due to his actions a repulsive human being who is very skilled and dangerous. One of these movies main objectives is to try to build a relationship with the hit man and the audience due to his ‘anti hero’ status as the hit mans characteristics isn’t what we would consider a typical hero. Money is irrelevant, to a man who takes so much. The thrill is the drive and the money is the bonus. ‘Silent’ protagonist doesn’t talk throughout film but has independent narrative and thoughts in his head.

After failed mission, using skills acquired over time to stay on the run and stay in the shadows from the cartel whilst fighting against ‘demons’ (drinking problem). La Sombra meets with secret lover, Cartel bosses daughter but still isn’t aware of this. Plans to run away with her and is ready, waiting on boat to ‘disappear’ for good and waiting for Maria to come. After waiting for hours Don Javier comes on to the boat with his entourage and holding his daughter at gun point. La Sombre realises and must choose which one of them dies.

This film will embrace the foreign language that is spoken throughout the film and the Spanish upbringings of the characters in this film. The London location is employed to have a better connection with its British viewers.

La Sombra is believed to have over 3 production companies helping distribute the film to a wider audience. The makers of the film also believe it was essential to cast the right actors for each role in order to portray the film in they it was written. The makers do believe they have achieved this.

Don Javier Sanchez is the leader of a drug cartel. He is marked as one of the most feared men in Spain. It’s not often when a man of Sanchez’s capability shows emotion however when he realises his daughters relationship with Sombra it send him to place he has never been.

Target audience appeals:
  • Competitions or free/promotional offers in order to help them save money with the fact that the age range does start from teens
  • A  sense of danger due to the more rebellious nature of the teenage age group
  • A use of both text and pictures, and not just excessively large blocks of text within the article
  • A presence of colours in the article and not being too monochromatic
  • A twist on something that has been ongoing for a long time - a silent hitman in a film to do the Mexican cartel
