Almudena Amor is turning things up…

The 29-year-old Spanish actress is starring opposite James McAvoy, Lucas Bravo and Aisling Franciosi in the thriller Turn Up The Sun! 

The film has begun production in the UK under an Equity PACT agreement.

Written and directed by Welsh filmmaker Jamie Adams, BAFTA-winner McAvoy leads cast in the ensemble about two couples that accidentally book the same countryside mansion for a weekend of work and pleasure but discover things may not be as they seem.

Sales outfit The Syndicate is handling worldwide sales and will introduce the project at AFM.

Shaun Sanghani is financing through his credit facility SSS Film Capital and will be producing through SSS Entertainment alongside Cara Shine Ballarini and Rebecca Miller and their Good Pals production shingle. The trio produced the 2021 SXSW Grand Jury winner The Fallout starring Jenna Ortega, which was acquired by Warner Bros. This is their third feature together.

Sanghani told us: “James McAvoy is one of the most talented actors in the business and having him and the rest of our amazing cast collaborate with Jamie Adams, who we are lucky to be reteaming with for a second feature, is exciting on every level.”

Amor previously starred in the films The Good Boss and The Grandmother.
