Álvaro Díaz Lorenzo’s “La lista de los deseos” Getting an English-Language Remake

Álvaro Díaz Lorenzo’s hit film is getting an English-language remake.

Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein will write and direct Big Pink, a re-do of the 46-year-old Spanish filmmaker’s Spanish dramedy La lista de los deseos for Monarch Media.

 

Like the original 2020 film written and directed by Díaz Lorenzo, the remake will be a heartwarming and funny tale about a group of women from different generations who, after completing treatment for breast cancer, go on a road trip adventure and learn to live life to the fullest.

Steve Barnett and Alan Powell will produce through their Monarch Media shingle, with their Monarch partner Vicky Patel exec producing.

“I’ve known Abby and Marc personally for a very long time and could not be more excited to be working with them on ‘Big Pink,’” said Barnett. “As filmmakers, their ability to balance sophisticated humor with a depth of emotions is the perfect fit for the film’s special subject matter.”

María León, Silvia Alonso and Victoria Abril star in the original film.
