Eva Longoria is losing her filter…
The 42-year-old Mexican American actress and producer’s UnbeliEVAble Entertainment will team up with Charles D. King’s MACRO for the American-set remake of Sin Filtro, the Chilean film by Nicolas Lopez.
They’re hoping to get into production in 2018 a comedy that follows a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Her life spirals out of control after an acupuncture treatment renders her unable to filter herself.
King’s MACRO will finance the film, and he’ll produce with Kim Roth and Poppy Hanks along with UnbeliEVAble’s Longoria and Ben Spector.
The exec producers are the original’s writer-director Lopez and Miguel Asensio Llamas, who produced the original through Sobras International.
Sin Filtro was the top-grossing live-action film in Chile in 2016, and became the second highest grossing film of all time in that country.
Lopez won’t direct the remake. His next film, Hazlo Como Hombre releases in Mexico on August 11 and in the US on Labor Day by Pantelion/Lionsgate, and No Estoy Loca bows in Chile on January 4.
The producers will look to quickly set a writer and director for the remake.
