The 82-year-old Spanish filmmaker is now set to return with his first feature in over thirty years. Spanish media El Diario is reporting that Erice is preparing to shoot a new film titled “Cerrar los ojos” (To Close One’s Eyes). Not much is known about the project, but that it has cast actors José Coronado and María León in roles. Many filmmakers, including Guillermo del Toro, Pedro Almodóvar, and Miguel Gomes, have cited Erice as a major influence on their own works. What has he been doing these last three decades since his last feature? Mostly directing shorts and and dabbling in other arts. Two of Erice’s three movies were in Cannes competition, so odds are good this latest one could show up on the croisette. Contribute Hire me
