EXCLUSIVE: Vicente Amorim, showrunner behind Netflix’s Senna, has signed with Anonymous Content.
Amorim has inked with Anonymous for representation but continues to be represented by Jack Leighton and David Saunders at Independent Artist Group and Shep Rosenman at RLG LLP.
The news comes just days before Amorim and Netflix prepare for launch of one of the streamer’s biggest Latin American series of all time, Senna, a six-part biopic about the late, great racing driver.
Starring Kaya Scodelario and Gabriel Leone, the series will dramatize the high-octane exploits of the iconic Brazilian, who tragically died whilst racing in 1994. Amorim has talked previously about the sheer size of the production and it is one of the biggest swings to come from Netflix Lat Am. Footage was teased at last week’s Netflix international showcase.
Amorim’s previous work includes Netflix’s Santo, while he wrote, directed and was showrunner for crime series The Division, which Brazil’s Globoplay says is its most successful series in history. For The Division, he was nominated for Best Director for the Cinema Brazil Grand Prize.
