EL CAPO I NOW SPEAKS FRENCH

‘El Capo’, one of the great productions of FoxTelecolombia and RCN Television, which has broken records in ratings in Colombia and the United States through MundoFox in both of its seasons, arrived in France for its first season. The first episode aired last Saturday, February 8th, dubbed in French, on the well-known network ´France O´, one of the biggest and most important channels in France, at 8:45 p.m. El Capo I, has been sold and aired with great ratings in Iran, Afghanistan, French speaking African countries, Rumania, the United States, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Paraguay, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Nicaragua, Panama, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Venezuela, Ecuador and the Pan-regional signal for Latin America given by Mundo Fox. The series will soon air its third season on MundoFox; it tells the story of Pedro Pablo Leon Jaramillo, a smart, clever, cold and calculating man, who is involved in the world of crime and, driven by ambition, becomes the most powerful and chased after drug trafficker of the country. The story is based on the original idea and screenplay by Gustavo Bolivar and is directed by two great film and television directors of recent years in Colombia: Ricardo Gabrielli andLilo Vilaplana, accompanied by a first class cast, from which we can highlight: Marlon Moreno, Marcela Mar, Katherine Velez, Diego Trujillo, Maria Adelaida Puerta, Elkin Diaz, Manuel Sarmiento, Oscar Borda, Manuel Jose Chavez, Natalia Jerez, Felipe Calero, Florina Lemaitre, Maria Cristina Pimiento, Juan Sebastian Caler and Connie Camelo, among others. It is a high quality story, full of action, suspense, betrayal, passion, more than 50 widely experienced actors and the appearance of close to 2000 extras. This production was made in film format for television, with cinematographic language, using a Sony F-900 high-definition film camera, with digital zooms (the same ones used in ´Star Wars´) and with modern film lenses (used in ´The Strange Case of Benjamin Button´). These tools, added to the great special effects, an excellent story and the interesting construction of characters, leave the viewers with the sensation of watching a movie every episode.
