They did a great job and I would do it again. So I'm always excited to work with Alex and HBO. And what I've heard, some of the episodes from the next season are very special. But right now we all know the characters. When you start filming, everything comes really fast. And I'm very happy because I mean, that's everything. SILVESTRE: Yeah, actually I've heard the director said that in a press conference. If there was a second season of 30 Coins, would you be excited for it? Alex would get bad sometimes, "It's not enough blood!" He wants to take a shower in blood. I imagine you went through a lot of it on set. Like it has some sugar in it and it's very difficult to take it out of your fingers and they put shaving cream. That's the way you take it out because it's very sticky, very sweet. And it works because they are living something that it's kind of surreal, but they doubt it. And he wanted to put this kind of village of 140 people with this mayor, who is not too wise, but he's put there because of his wife and he feels the pressure and it makes kind of like a comedic vision of a village from the interior of Spain. I mean, you can see that some of them aren't smart or not too clever or the way they are clever is more related to nature.

So what about these characters is very specific to Spain? And at the same time portraying characters that are so peculiar from Spain. And what I think is very special in him is that he's very good doing horror. He's so into these types of movies, it's the genre that he really enjoys. They put a lot of conditions, that's what I have heard, but he said, "Okay, this is my chance to do what I've been dreaming of," because when you ask him, "What about that world?" And he's saying, "This is my world." He's so into comics. I don't think it's too often that a network will say, "Can you do that? But we're going to give you three times the amount of money." I mean, there are some conditions, but can you.?" And he was like, "This is a dream.

He showed the scripts to HBO and HBO said "Can you do this for triple the money that you're asking for?" And he was like, "What?" That means free imagination.

I'm going to show you my world." Like what? He said, "Come with me guys," and he made us go into a room full of drawings that he was doing, saying "This the way I envisioned the first monster, they say, it's impossible to do it, but I'm ordering it to some people that I know that they can do something and then in post-production I'll make it live." And he was so passionate and you could see how everything came from his mind. Actually, this is the first time that I'm working with him, and we were going to do the first table read and he said like, "Fuck table reads. One thing about watching it was I read that the director used to do comic books and that made so much sense. They are very connected to every episode. That's what I'm getting from people in the street. So yeah, people are liking it so much here in Spain.

And they say like, "Oh my God, he's crazy," in a very nice way, because of course he offers so much in pertaining to his stories and the way he see horror and his characters too, which are very peculiar, from this little village and it's kind of horror, but at the same time you can laugh sometimes. MIGUEL ANGEL SILVESTRE: I'm in Spain now, and most of the people that I've taught that I've talked to, they're Spanish and they know the director is a very peculiar guy, very, very talented with a certain point of view about horror. Michael Straczynski, took him all around the world and gave him an unforgettable impression of the Wachowskis as filmmakers ahead of their time.īelow, Silvestre explains why 30 Coins has had such an impact on Spanish audiences, what it's like to work with a visual stylist like de la Iglesia, and what he thinks Sense8's legacy might be.Ĭollider: To start off, I'm curious, when you were first talking to people about the show, how did they describe it to you? That series, created by the Wachowskis and J. But Silvestre might be better known to international audiences as Lito, an actor used to extreme dramatics thanks to the events of Netflix's Sense8.
