Pantelion fills Hollywood gap with movie studio for Latinos

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

Thunder RadioA classic Jane Austen story will get a modern Latino makeover with the first release from Pantelion Films, a new Hollywood studio launched by Thunderbird alumnus James McNamara and two big-name partners. Pantelion will premiere “From Prada to Nada” at theaters across the United States on Jan. 28, 2011. Additional movies will follow each month, creating momentum for a brand that McNamara envisions as the new face of Hispanic entertainment in the United States. “The objective is to create the first Hollywood studio focused specifically on the U.S. Hispanic audience,” McNamara said during a campus interview with ThunderRadio on Nov. 4, 2010. | Video: Thunder Radio interview (5:59) | Video: “From Prada to Nada” trailer (2:28) | Audio: Thunder Radio interview (5:44)
