“100 Days,” a buzzy Brazilian project PvNew first unveiled in 2021, will begin shooting next month, led by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Carlos Saldanha.
Up-and-comer Filipe Bragança (“Dom,” “Orphans of a Nation”) will topline the film’s cast, joined by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (“Call My Agent,” “Two Brothers”), who will also produce.
“100 Days” is billed as an adventure drama for family audiences. It will tell the extraordinary but true story of Brazilian Amyr Klink, who, in 1984, at the age of 29, became the first person to cross the South Atlantic in a rowing boat after many had died in the attempt.
