Secuoya Studios President and Former Ambassador Discusses Spain’s Journey to Become Europe’s Hollywood

James Costos, President of Secuoya Studios and former U.S. Ambassador to Spain, recently participated in a panel at the Iberseries & Platino Industria event in Madrid, where he addressed Spain's ambition to become the "Hollywood of Europe." Costos, along with industry leaders, discussed Spain’s evolving entertainment landscape and the opportunities within the Ibero-American market.

During the panel, questions regarding the appeal of the Ibero-American market for U.S. studios were raised, touching on aspects such as lower production costs, collaboration with local talent, and potential co-production agreements. Costos expressed optimism about Spain’s trajectory, which was highlighted by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's earlier aspirations for the country.

He noted, “Spain has a wealth of natural beauty, diverse locations, and favorable weather, making it an attractive destination for filming.” Costos emphasized that significant reforms in fiscal incentives are necessary to spur economic growth and job creation, benefiting both Spain and U.S. companies looking to invest there. He praised the government's efforts to streamline bureaucracy and expedite shooting permit approvals.

Secuoya Studios is actively promoting Spain as a premier production destination, offering top-notch infrastructure and a variety of projects, from films and scripted series to unscripted content. Costos underscored the importance of attracting as much business as possible, stating, “We want that business to land here,” highlighting the increasing interest from U.S. companies over the past four years.

Additionally, Costos described Spain as “a goldmine for developing localized stories,” noting the talent and skills available in the country. However, he cautioned that Hollywood's pre-existing relationships in other regions sometimes lead to shortcuts that overlook Spain's potential.

Georgina Gonzalez, VP of Global Scripted Series at Universal International Studios, reiterated the significance of creating content that resonates with Spanish culture from the outset. She cited upcoming projects, including The Day of the Jackal, featuring notable talents like Eddie Redmayne and Money Heist star Úrsula Corberó.

Reflecting on the success of Money Heist, Costos explained that the show's universal themes and authentic Spanish roots contributed to its global appeal. He concluded, “It resonated because it had themes that connected with audiences beyond Spain, offering a unique cultural experience.”

As Spain continues its quest to solidify its status as Europe’s entertainment hub, industry leaders remain hopeful about the collaborative potential and growth opportunities within the region.

Superfan's Short Movie Reviews: Thunderbolts*

Given how long the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been running for, we're at a point where some fresh creative blood is needed to reinvigorate the franchise. I'm happy to say that this movie is just what the doctor ordered. The greater emphasis on practical stunt work, physical sets, and on-location shooting gives it a more down-to-earth vibe. This also extends to the character arcs as well. At its center is a story about damaged individuals who end up helping each other overcome their pain, traumas, and feelings of loneliness, facing it all together. These are conveyed wonderfully through the performances, and the actors have some great interplay with one another. Florence Pugh is easily the best of the bunch, and David Harbor steals every scene he's in. This might just be one of the best movies to come out of Marvel Studios in recent years.

(Also, yes, there is a major reason for the asterisk in the title. I won't give it away for anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet.)

Who ever thought THIS would happen in my lifetime? I am stunned, happy and just urge anyone who hasn't yet to see both of these films!

Astarion Perfumes/Scents I’ve Tried

#4 Body Spray (x)

Citrusy and dry, like the bark of a eucalyptus tree. Rosemary is the strongest note here.

#3 Solid Wax Perfume (x)

Sweet like apple cinnamon. It kind of smells like an apple pie but better. Undertones of a mature scent I’m assuming is the bergamot.

#2 Soy Wax Candle (Planeshift) (x)

Bergamot, brandy and rosemary are perfectly balanced, as all things should be. A strangely Christmas-y aftershave scent with a milky and cinnamon sweet undertone. Refreshing!

#1 Soy Wax Candle (MythicalCandles) (x)

Probably my favourite thing here. Like the previous candle it smells like cinnamon, eggnog and aftershave, but subtler. Strongest note is the bergamot. Delicious!
