Exclusive: Wattpad/Webtoons has hired Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken to adapt I’m the Grim Reaper from the webtoon created by Grave Weaver.
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process.
I’m the Grim Reaper centers on Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared. The story slots perfectly into Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.

When Wattpad Webtoon Studios was preparing to release the drama “Float” this year, author Kate Marchant asked for a little help from her fans. The Lionsgate film was based on her story, and now she presented three movie posters to her followers, asking them to pick their favorite.
“I can feel your readers shifting in their seats,” Aron Levitz, president of Wattpad Webtoon Studios, says with a laugh. “All those creative execs are going, ‘Wait a minute, people knew about it before it went out? Are you sure that’s Ok?’”
For Levitz, the answer is a resounding yes. His company is shaking up the traditional approach to creating film and TV adaptations by putting the power in the hands of fans.
Just last month, the third movie in the “Through My Window” series, adapted from Wattpad author Ariana Godoy’s webnovels, dominated the Netflix film charts, amassing 14 million views...

Through My Window, the Spanish Netflix Original, is a series of three films adapted from the book written by Ariana Godoy. The three movies span through three different stages of the lives of the main characters, and they are surrounded by their family and friends who shape their lives. Raquel and Ares come from two different financial backgrounds, yet they find a way to fall in love and remain inseparable. There are several characters that motivate them to be better people, a process that takes three whole films to come to a pass.
Ares Hidalgo
Ares Hidalgo, the middle son of the rich businessman Juan Hidalgo, comes across as a spoiled brat. He is a senior at school, and Raquel caught his attention as his neighbor. Both have windows in their bedrooms facing each other. Ares pursued her in the most unorthodox manner and thus began their hot and cold,...

Orson Welles famously started but never finished an adaptation in Spain of Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes’ beloved 17th-century novel. Terry Gilliam’s first attempt to shoot his take on Quixote fell apart so spectacularly in 2000 that it resulted in a widely viewed “unmaking-of” documentary titled, grimly, Lost in La Mancha.
But they weren’t just tilting at windmills. Gilliam completed The Man Who Killed Don Quixote nearly two decades later, making it one of literally dozens of screen adaptations from around the world based on the widely published novel. In April, Oscar-winning director Alejandro Amenábar (The Sea Inside)will start shooting on The Captive, an origin tale about a young, storytelling Cervantes in an Algiers prison in 1575.
Spanish literature — and its literary figures — have been inspiring filmmakers since the dawn of cinema. According to a now-defunct Cervantes Virtual Library database, considered incomplete by some accounts, in Spain almost 1,200 literary...

It’s been a nightmare year for the entertainment business, and veteran industry exec David Madden has said it has still got a way to go to find its feet again.
The Global Head of Entertainment for Korean-owned content giant Wattpad Webtoon Studios told a Content London audience that some buyers remain “a little skittish and awkward” about budgets ahead of 2024.
This was due to the combined factors of the writers strikes, the TV ad market downturn and streamers switching to profit-focused business models. “Companies are still reeling from everything that’s been in the news reports over the last year,” said Madden.
The former AMC, Fox and Berlanti Productions content chief pointed to Disney as one buyer that was still “fragile in terms of knowing what to spend,” though some others were “more aggressive.”
“It isn’t as doom and gloom as it could have been but [the market] is probably 60% back.

The first film, Through My Window, a Spanish Netflix original, was all about the glorification of a toxic relationship. The same team brings you the sequel, Across the Sea, which is a continuation of previous film. Unfortunately, the latest instalment, just like the previous one, does not serve the genre it is based on. Director Marçal Forés brings you the same cast with a lot of soapy drama thrown into the mix.
Through My Window: Across the Sea is as literal as the name suggests because the film is set on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, where the friends and family of Raquel and Ares descend to celebrate the San Juan festival. Amidst all of this, the once hot and heavy couple is now in a long-distance relationship. With Ares studying medicine in Stockholm and Raquel studying literature in Barcelona, there is trouble in paradise because they end up spending...

Mario Casas, one of Spain’s biggest film and TV stars, and Goya Award winner actress Anna Castillo, will headline “Escape,” the new film by writer-director Rodrigo Cortés.
Produced by Adrián Guerra and Núria Valls at Barcelona-based Nostromo Pictures, “Escape” is a free adaptation of same-title novel penned by Spanish author Enrique Rubio.
Nostromo announced the new film project after completing an intense 2022, in which the company lensed seven films and released two more titles – Marçal Forés’ “Through My Window” and Oriol Paulo’s “God’s Crooked Lines” – both achieving a standout global reach.
“Escape’s” story turns on N., a young man who wants to live in prison and will do whatever it takes to get there, raising questions such as if those who care about him will get to stop him from committing increasingly serious crimes and how far will the judge go to not grant him his proposal.

In a time of reboots, remakes and sequels, Wattpad Webtoon is aiming to bring more original stories to Hollywood and counter that franchise bloat. As Wattpad Webtoon Studios president Aron Levitz tells Variety, the goal is to show production banners and media platforms that loyal webcomic and series fans will tune in to their TV adaptations of those titles. And so far, it’s working.
The Webtoon-adapted K-drama “Sweet Home” and Wattpad-originated young adult film series “The Kissing Booth,” both on Netflix, has given the company an early boost in making Hollywood inroads. And now, the recent hire of former Fox Entertainment and AMC Entertainment president David Madden as head of global entertainment is another example of the company’s move to further ramp up its entertainment industry presence.

If case we needed further proof of the importance of Spanish-language films on streaming services, we got it. On Feb. 15, Netflix confirmed that the film "A Través de Mi Ventana" ("Through My Window"), based on the novel by famous Wattpad author and influencer Ariana Godoy and published in Spain by Penguin Random House, is getting a second and third sequel. Sure, we might have considered the possibility of one sequel coming out - but I don't think anyone predicted a third one being confirmed, especially this soon. It's pretty major, considering the film only launched on Netflix on Feb. 4. And the good news doesn't end there. "Through My Window" also landed thenumber-one spot on the Global Top 10 list for non-English films, with over 33M hours. Keep in mind that these are hours viewed only three days after the film's release on Netflix. It also landed in the top 10 in 85 countries and number one in 23 countries.

Netflix has recently released Spain’s first film using LED volume technology, teen romantic drama “Through My Window” (“A Través de mi Ventana”).
Produced by Adrian Guerra’s Nostromo Pictures alongside sister company Orca Studios, the Spanish-language film features real-time rendered CG scenes shot in-camera as part of its production.
Its LED volume technology is the same ground-breaking virtual production process utilized by Industrial Light & Magic (Ilm) on Disney Plus’ hit series “The Mandalorian” and is considered by many as the most significant technological advance since green screen.
LED wall volumes replace static backgrounds in virtual studios with exterior or interior images that adjust in sync with camera movement, powered by video game PC engines, such as Unreal for “The Mandalorian.”
