“For me it was all about the camerawork.” Netflix has unveiled a full 3-min behind-the-scenes featurette for their upcoming series One Hundred Years of Solitude, adapting the iconic novel of the same name. They debuted a teaser trailer earlier in 2024 but with the series ready to launch for streaming in December they’re starting the final marketing blitz. In the timeless town of Macondo, seven generations of the Buendía family navigate love, oblivion and the inescapability of their past — and their fate. The book by Nobel Prize winning author Gabriel García Márquez comes to Netflix, telling the story of the Buendía family, tormented by madness, impossible love, war, and the fear of a curse that condemns them to solitude for a 100 years in the mythical town of Macondo. The series stars Claudio Cataño, Jerónimo Barón, Santiago Vásquez, Marco González, Diego Vásquez, Leonardo Soto, Susana Morales, and Marleyda Soto. This new making of promo shows us how much money they spent making this sprawling generational tale from South America. “A visually captivating journey into the creative minds of Laura Mora and Alex García, showcasing how they directed this masterpiece. From the intricate construction, set design, and wardrobe to the depth of character development, this piece highlights the grand scale of the production.” Looks great! Check it out.
Here’s the first teaser trailer for Netflix’s series One Hundred Years of Solitude, direct from YouTube:
Married against their parent’s wishes, cousins José Arcadio Buendía & Úrsula Iguarán leave their village behind and embark on a long journey in search of a new home. Accompanied by friends and adventurers, their journey culminates with the founding of a utopian town on the banks of a river of prehistoric stones they baptize Macondo.
