Netflix is set to release a new Spanish-language film called Technoboys, which follows the story of a boyband attempting to make a comeback in the modern music industry. The movie is not only starring Luis Gerardo Méndez as the lead singer of the band, but he is also co-directing the film alongside Gerardo Gatica. This marks an exciting new venture for Méndez, who has previously appeared in popular Netflix shows like Narcos: Mexico and Club De Cuervos.
Technoboys follows the titular band as they try to reclaim their former glory after two decades away from the music scene. The members of the band find themselves facing new challenges in a world that has drastically changed since their heyday. They must navigate through rival groups and adapt to the current music landscape in order to succeed. The lead singer of Technoboys, played by Méndez, has personal reasons for wanting to return to the music industry, adding depth to the storyline.
Méndez’s journey from actor to director has been a long time in the making. He has always expressed a desire to step behind the camera and co-directing Technoboys with Gerardo Gatica has been a fulfilling experience for him. According to Méndez, working with a partner on the project has made the filmmaking process less lonely and has led to more thoughtful decision-making. This collaboration has allowed him to explore a new aspect of his creativity and passion for storytelling.
The movie is being produced by Cine Vaquero, Panorama, and Bengala, with the script penned by Alexandro Aldrete. The presence of experienced producers like Pablo Zimbrón and Gatica ensures that the film is in good hands. Executive producers include Méndez, Aldrete, Gabriel Nuncio, and Ximena Calvo, highlighting the talented team behind the project.
Following Technoboys, Méndez is set to appear in Skincare, a film directed by Austin Peters and featuring stars like Elizabeth Banks and Nathan Fillion. Additionally, he has recently wrapped filming on the Amazon limited series Stanley. With a diverse range of projects in the pipeline, Méndez continues to establish himself as a versatile talent in the entertainment industry.
Technoboys represents a new chapter in Luis Gerardo Méndez’s career, showcasing his talents both in front of and behind the camera. The film promises to be an exciting addition to Netflix’s lineup and a testament to the power of collaboration in storytelling.
