\n\tZeller said: \u201cI wanted to tell the story of a marriage and was deeply compelled to work with a real-life couple. I immediately was drawn to the idea of working with Javier Bardem and Pen\u00e9lope Cruz, two of the most gifted actors working today, who also happen to be one of the most iconic couples. I wrote Bunker<\/em> for them. This film will push the boundaries of narrative and emotional truth, blurring the lines between reality and fiction in a way that feels thrilling and deeply human.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tThe iconic Spanish couple have starred opposite each other multiple times across more than three decades including in films Jam\u00f3n, Jam\u00f3n<\/em>, Vicky Cristina Barcelona<\/em>,\u00a0Loving Pablo<\/em> and\u00a0Everybody Knows<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\tBlue Morning Pictures\u2019 Federica Sainte-Rose is set to produce alongside Fernando Bovaira and Simon de Santiago of MOD Producciones. Alice Dawson will also serve as a producer on the film. Mariano Cohn, Gaston Duprat, Andres Duprat, Emanuel Nunez and Fernando Sokolowicz will executive produce.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWhat excites me most about working with Florian on Bunker<\/em> is the bold new direction he\u2019s taking as a filmmaker. This project marks a clear tonal shift \u2014 unsettling and cinematically daring, Bunker<\/em> speaks to the glaring contradictions that exist in modern society,\u201d said Sainte-Rose. \u201cThe exploration of fears of the future, from ecological threats to rising social inequality, makes this film both urgent and relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tZeller is repped by CAA. Cruz is repped by CAA, Untitled and Kuranda. Bardem is repped by WME and Goodman Genow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
