The producer of Roma, Nicolás Celis, and his production company, Pimienta Films, with headquarters in Mexico City, signed an exclusive, first-look deal with Exile and Endeavor Content. The agreement occurs after the association at the beginning of the year announced the partnership between Exile and Endeavor to develop TV productions with premium scripts, expressed Variety.
Perfect Monsters, an epic western created by Celis, Marion d’Ornano and Enrique M. Rizo, is the first project announced under the new deal. Based on the homonymous novel by the former police officer Miguel Angel Molfino, has been adapted to take place in the 1960s in Mexico, where an 18-year old guy runs away after his parents are murdered, and falls into the clutches of an arms dealer, as well as a gang of robbers and a troika of corrupt detectives.
“We are finally developing episodic content and I very thrilled to partner up with Exile and Endeavor Content. I´ve always wanted to explore making premium TV content which is still in its nascent stages in Mexico,” said Celis.
“Nicolás has an unparalleled track record at identifying and championing the best talent and projects in the region,” said Daniel Eilemberg, president of Content at Exile.
“Nicolás is renowned for working on high-quality and impactful projects and we are excited to be working with him on his first step into television drama with “Perfect Monsters,” expressed Kelly Miller, VP of International Strategy at Endeavor Content.
The CEO of Exile, Isaac Lee, adds: “What we are doing with Nico Celis is the first of a series of deals Endeavor Content and Exile are doing with the best talent in the region. Those will be announced in the first quarter of 2020.”
