Spain's Alta Produccion and France's Lumen Films are co-producing French-language romantic comedy Novo with stars Eduardo Noriega (Open Your Eyes) and Anna Mouglalis (Merci Pour Le Chocolat). France's Celluloid Dreams is handling international sales.
Paz Vega (Sex And Lucia), Nathalie Richard (Modern Comforts) and Eric Caravaca (La Chambre Des Officiers) co-star in the $3.2m comedy about a man whose memory problems make him lucky in love.
Alta Produccion is a division of heavyweight Spanish arthouse distributor-exhibitor Alta Films. The project could signal a step by Alta chief Enrique Gonzalez Macho toward more European co-productions.
Novo is popular actor Noriega's first starring role in a non-Spanish language film. Shooting got underway this week in Paris.
