After box office successes with live-action Mortadelo and Filemon films, production houses Zeta Cinema and Peliculas Pendelton have opted for what they call a 10-million euro “3D extravaganza” on the comic book property.
The film, now in pre-production, is written by Fesser (Camino) along with Cristobal Ruiz and Claro Garcia.
Fesser’s previous Mortadelo and Filemon venture–the 2003 Mortadelo and Filemon: The Great Adventure— grossed more than 22 million euros with more than five million ticket sales.
