FilmSharks' production “Abracadaver” to debut on Hulu in the United States

Hulu has acquired U.S. streaming rights for the heist-movie/comedy “Abracadaver” produced by Guido Rud with FilmSharks and Pancho Rodriguez. The film will be available to Hulu subscribers beginning Wednesday, October 2, during Hispanic & Latin American heritage month.

“Abracadaver” was written and directed by Pancho Rodriguez (“Dia de Muertos”) and tells the story of three magician brothers from the circus world who find themselves brought back together to perform a magical and impossible coup: to steal a twin mummy valued at millions of dollars from an impenetrable fortress to save their family lineage. The heist-movie/comedy is filled with unexpected twists and turns leading up to the unbelievable grand finale.

“Abracadaver” stars Mexican stand-out actors including Alberto Estrella (“Man on Fire”), Denisse Corona (“Centauro del norte”), Pablo Abitia (“Pancho Villa”), Olaff Herrera (“Cada Minuto Cuenta”), Iannis Guerrero (“Nosotros los Nobles”), Dagoberto Gama (“Amores Perros”), Costanza Andrade (“Mariachis”) and José Sefami (“Infierno”). The film was shot in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico with the aid of local JALISCO Government tax rebate: Filma Jalisco.

The U.S. streaming deal was negotiated by producer Guido Rud and his international sales team Matias Fontenla and Federico Pascua. The Mexican theatrical release and rest of world rights are currently available through FilmSharks. Guido Rud says: "Since the development of the project it has been a true pleasure working with one of the very best teams in the industry. I am so thankful for the great journey it was to collaborate with Hulu’s team."
