The Cadiz province will host the shooting of Pérez Reverte's "The Nautical Chart" in autumn
The Nautical Chart will be shot in the city of Cadiz on the 29th and 30th September and filming will continue on the 2nd, 3rd and 7th October. Algeciras and Gibraltar will also be the backdrop for scenes from this film that will bring Pérez Reverte's novel to the big screen. The author seems to have found the inspiration for many of his works in the province of Cadiz.
Imanol Uribe visited the city of Cadiz in March and will direct The Nautical Chart there in the autumn. The film recalls the time when Spain was a major naval power and that the meridian that ruled the world was not Greenwich, but Cadiz.
Cadiz cathedral and the city’s El Pópulo district will be the setting for this novel where the characters are searching for a treasure. It is just one of the mythical treasures that are supposed to lie along the coast of Cadiz, where there are thought to be over 700 ships brimming with treasure from America that sunk during storms, battles or scuffles with pirates.
Carmelo Gómez will be the sailor Ismael Coy, Aitana Sánchez Gijón, the mysterious Tánger Soto; Enrico Loverso, the treasure hunter Nino Palermo and Darío Grandinetti the hired assassin Horacio Kiskoros.
Javier Aguirresarobe, probably the country’s best-known photography director, will be in charge of light to add a special touch to the plot.
Alatriste premieres This month will also see the premiere of Alatriste, which cost 24 million euros to make. The film brings to the big screen Captain Alatriste, Pérez Reverte's best known character and which seems sure to become one of the top Spanish productions of the year.
Set in the 17th century, directed by Agustín Díaz Yánez, and starring Viggo Mortensen, many of the scenes were filmed against the backdrop of the beaches of Cadiz and Tarifa.
The novels reflects the history and decadence of Spain through the eyes of a soldier-turned-mercenary who describes a Spanish Golden Age that was brilliant in the arts, but poor and dark in everyday life.
Arturo Pérez Reverte is a member of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language and is one of Spain's most popular writers. His books have been translated into over 25 languages and are sold in more than 50 countries.
