and propulsive storytelling, there are surprising and very moving emotional undercurrents to be discovered. The story is built around love and tenderness amidst all the macho posturing and violence and the female characters are as strong and powerful as the men. It’s an incredibly exciting prospect.”winning Andrew Eaton and Conor McCaughan who is Fassbender’s partner in DMC Film. Ignacio SalazarSimpson of Mogambo is the film’s Spanish co-producer.
