MADRID -- Spain's Adrian Guerra, producer of Rodrigo Cortes' Sundance hit "Hidden," has produced a brand new production label, the Barcelona-based Nostromo Pictures. Its first couple of completed productions is going to be Cortes' paranormal thriller "Red-colored Lights," with Robert P Niro and Sigourney Weaver, and also the Kinology-offered horror thriller "Emergo," helmed by Carles Torrens. Both of them are in publish-production. Guerra's Madrid-based production-distribution shingle Versus Entertainment has become focusing just on distribution. Versus releases classic and art films on DVD. Like a producer, however, I have been getting into much bigger films, for example 'Red Lights,' " Guerra told Variety. I needed to tell apart the 2 activities more. It had been tough to persuade sales representatives that Versus really was a distinct segment distributor if this was creating relatively large movies." Its Barcelona base also enables Nostromo to profit from Catalan government subsidies channeled through its Icic institute, Guerra added. Nostromo is possessed by Versus founders and investors Guerra, Jose Tito Martinez, Miguel Nadal and Alejandro Miranda. Guerra will keep growing his production activities, he stated. Included in this expansion, Nostromo has drawn on Ferran Herranz, an old professional at The spanish language distrib Wide Films, to supervise deals for The spanish language distribution, in addition to pacts with worldwide sales representatives. Red-colored Lights" will be prepared for delivery The month of january 2012, Guerra stated. Contact the range newsroom at news@variety.com
