Starring “3o Coins’” Miguel Angel Silvestre and “The Palace’s” Katia Fellin, “Weiss & Morales” has gone into production in the Canary Islands, boasting the credentials of a textbook procedural appealing to current market appetites.
As co-production ramps up between free-to-air players in Europe, led very often by its state-backed networks, “Weiss & Morales” links two of the continents’ most powerful public broadcasters, Germany’s Zdf and Spain’s Rtve, which produce with Zdf Studios. The latter is also handling worldwide sales outside Spanish-speaking territories.
Also producing are Galicia-based Portocabo, which in the space of 10 years has pioneered co-productions between Spain’s Galicia and Portugal (“Dry Water”) and Spain and France (“Hierro), and Nadcon whose head, Peter Nadermann co-produced iconic Nordic Noir titles “The Killing” and “The Bridge” when at Zdf.

Munich-based sales agent Arri Media has closed distribution deals for three territories on “Double Trouble & the Magical Mirror,” which world premieres Monday in the Lola section of Berlinale, and is shortlisted for the German Film Award.
The family entertainment film has been picked up by Wing Sight Media in China, Cloud Movie in Italy and Selim Ramia in the Middle East. The film will be released in Germany by Square One Entertainment on April 4.
In the film, fun-loving but lazy Frido, 10, finds a magical mirror that creates a doppelganger of himself who can do everything better than him. He tells his friends and they do the same but soon their doubles begin to take over.
Marcus H. Rosenmüller’s pic stars Luis Vorbach, Jona Gaensslen, and Margarita Broich; it is produced by Benedikt Böllhoff and Max Frauenknecht at Viafilm.
