Things are quiet at the moment as post-production continues on Riccardo Gabrielli R.‘s live action comic book short film adap, Zambo Dende. Rest assured, enough time has passed that we ought to be getting closer to seeing some footage or even a trailer prior to the shortfilm’s release this year, presenting a concept that has been the making for some time now.
Several character posters have been making the rounds mostly featuring our action packed line-up of villains comprising this end of the superhero universe based on the original character from Columbia-based 7gLab. Actresses Michelle Lee and Caro Gonzalez, and actors Esteban Cueto, Tait Fletcher, Conrad Osorio and the late Darren Shahlavi have all been featured in their own artwork for the new project as we awaited for a glimpse at what our title hero would look like. On Thursday, we finally received a new poster featuring Redeemer star, actor and martial artist Marko Zaror in full superhero form. His face is not shown though, but its a taste of what’s to come and already it looks like it will be an amazing treat to see when this shortfilm releases. Take a look below!
The new shortfilm aims to build on the work of comic book creator Nicolas Rodroguez whose story centers on a young boy born into 16th slavery in Latin America, prior to discovering where his true destiny lies as a warrior for the people. There’s more to come regarding this shortfilm, but this story really, truly is deserving of a feature-lengh treatment considering Zaror‘s starpower gained in the years since breaking out with Kiltro in 2006. With any luck though, we’ll see Zambo Dende in action soon enough, so check out the other posters in the album below and stay tuned for more updates!
