If there’s one thing that works less than a horror comedy it’s a supernatural comedy — unless of course you’re a huge fan of Bill Cosby’s Ghost Dad (for shame!)
Mod Producciones, the producer of Alejandro Amenabar’s Agora and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Biutiful, is teaming with Spain’s Ikiru Films, Ciskul and Think Studio to produce Javier Ruiz Caldera’ latest spoof: Ghost Graduation.
Described as “a high-school phantom comedy,” Ghost turns on Modesto, a mediocre teacher with a paranormal gift, who is given the responsibility of helping five singular students — all ghosts — pass their high-school exams and finally leave school.
Script is co-penned by Cristobal Garrido and Adolfo Valor, both successful Spanish TV writers.
“Ghost” will be Ruiz Caldera’s sophomore feature. His debut, the spoof Spanish Movie, grossed a strong Euros 6.6 million ($9.6 million) in Spain from a late 2009 bow.
Cast includes Raul Arevalo, Alexandra Jimenez and Ana Fernandez.
Ghost lenses from around June, and is skedded to bow year-end.
