“We’re very happy with the international performance of ‘Lobo Feroz.’ IP and film have proven outstanding and deals always bring more deals. The original, ‘Big Bad Wolves,’ has been getting remake buyers interested after the successful case of ‘Lobo Feroz,’” FilmSharks’ Guido Rud told Variety.

Javier Gutiérrez (“Campeones”), Adriana Ugarte (“Julieta”), Rubén Ochandiano (“Undercover”) and Juana Acosta (“El Inocente”) star in the wickedly droll project, the second most-viewed film on Netflix Spain for three consecutive weeks, which focuses on vigilante justice in the wake of a young girl’s brutal murder.

Written by Fermín P. Pina, the film is produced by José Rancaño at Madrid’s La Dalia Films (“Viejos”). Maria Caballero (“The Ministry of Time”), Morgan Blasco (“La Odisea de Vasi”) and Jorge Cabrera (“Diecisiete”) feature in the crime drama centering chilling secrets unearthed during the great Spanish floods of the 1950s.
