The pair will give a keynote speech, present Fantastic Fest’s Latin American market’s first La De Dios award and talk about their Chilewood partnership.
Roth and Lopez have made The Green Inferno (pictured), Aftershock, Knock Knock and latest production The Stranger written and directed by Guillermo Amoedo.
Fantastic Fest will host the world premiere of The Stranger on September 19 and runs from September 18-20 in Austin, Texas.
“I’ve had an amazing experience, both creatively and financially in Chile partnering with Nicolas Lopez and Miguel Asensio,” said Roth.
“Their whole approach to filmmaking is completely different from anywhere in the world, and I’ve found it to be far more creative as well as cost-effective.
“As the business changes and contracts and costs are cut filmmakers need to find ways to make their films without sacrificing quality or scope. We’re making theatrical genre films for a global audience, building Santiago...

Back in 2004, Chilean director Nicolas Lopez made Promedio Rojo, a quirky comedy about three teenage outcasts trying to survive their high school years. The success of that one film put Lopez on the filmmaking map, and was promptly followed up by the equally successful Fuck My Life trilogy, as well as the director's first foray into survival horror with Aftershock, co-written with genre buff Eli Roth.Almost ten years later, Lopez returns with Worst Friends Forever, a sequel to his first hit. The trio of Roberto, Condoro, and Papitas (and a little person) are back for more misadventures: out of high school, older, and definitely not wiser.From midget jokes to the "Iron Man Beard", plus the appearance of a DeLorean, this hilarious trailer promises a lot...

Chilean director Nicolás López teamed up with American producer/writer/director Eli Roth for Aftershock, a 70s style disaster film shot with practical effects rather than use expensive computer-generated effects. The director reveals his secrets to creating a low budget movie that looks like a $30 million Hollywood film.
Chilean native Nicolás López was a child protegy, having started his career at age 12 as a columnist for Chilean newspaper El Mercurio. At 16, he created a comedy pilot for MTV Latin America, directed music videos and formed his own production company, Sobras International Pictures. His first feature film, Promedio Rojo, a dark teen comedy got the attention of Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino.

What happens to a group of travelers who are in an underground nightclub in Chile when a massive earthquake hits? Hint: Nothing good!
Well, except that it gave me the opportunity to sit down with Eli Roth to talk about his new movie Aftershock, in which he stars, co-wrote, and produced. I would say that’s a pretty darn good outcome! Check it out below.
In the middle of a night of wild partying, a hapless American tourist (Roth) and his friends are suddenly plunged into a living hell when a powerful earthquake rips through the coastal town of Valparaíso, Chile.
What do you think it is about travel that sets a good tone for a film?
Eli Roth: Well, travel – Everyone has fantasies of traveling. We all want to escape our lives and go somewhere fun. A lot of times we want to go as far away from...

After an earth quake erupts off the coastal town of Valparaiso, Chile, a group of travelers in an underground night club must reach the surface and discover it’s just the beginning of their nightmare. Gringo (Eli Roth) and his Chilean buddies Ariel (Ariel Lev) and Pollo (Nicolas Martinez) must help Kylie (Lorenza Izzo) and Monica (Andrea Osvart) escape looters, convicts, and the aftershocks that followed. Directed by Nicolas Lopez, ‘Aftershock’ is inspired by true events and real life stories over the Chilean earthquake that hit the country in 2010.
How does it feel to be living your dream, from directing to writing to acting?
Eli Roth: I feel like I’m getting to live my dream and there’s really no better feeling in the world. I think one of the keys to that is that I’ve taken chances and I’ve never played it safe on anything that I’ve ever done.

Next week in Miami, hundreds of bloggers, marketers, corporate brand reps, music and film artists will be checking in at the Eden Roc Hotel to attend Hispanicize, a social media platform for today’s Latino innovators. Now in its 4th year, the marketing, interactive, film and music conference was founded by Manny Ruiz, a PR businessman who adopted the term Hispanicize to signify the transformation and growing impact of Latino culture into traditional American mainstream and who created this convergence to amplify the success of diverse voices in social media.
In part modeled after SXSW and Ted Talks, Hispanicize aims to be a digital multi-media launchpad and idea stimulating conference tailored towards Latinos. The event’s core journalistic DNA is confirmed by guest co-chair, Soledad O Brien, who just signed off on her morning CNN show capping off a decade of reporting for the news outlet. For the second year the South Beach setting will host yacht parties, beachside receptions, breakfast and lunch networking, and 100 plus talks, featuring such entrepreneurs in social media like the Latina Mom Bloggers, panels like How Brands and Agencies are Engaging and Collaborating with Latino Bloggers and Getting on Corporate Boards. The heavily sponsored event, (Procter & Gamble is the presenting sponsor) will include a Diversity Tech Leaders Summit presented by Sprint in which the lesser-known business stories of diverse tech and social media entrepreneurs who are making their marks in digital media will be highlighted.
I have to admit I knew nothing of Hispanicize up until a couple months ago. Curious, I went on the website and I found the lingo a tad superfluous and hyperbolic. Words like iconic and mighty are used to describe the young but clearly flourishing event. Then again, this kind of grandiose speak is typical Public Relations so it makes sense given it is a partnership with Hispanic Public Relations Association (Hpra) and the Public Relations Society of America (Prsa).
I reached out to the founder Manny Ruiz to find out more about the mission of the event and found his enthusiasm and excitement for what he considers a pioneering movement infectious. It’s hard to argue that this mass tech and entertainment crossroads gathering makes for an incredible networking opportunity. Ruiz called it a “Uniting of these industries to create a symphony” and went on to note it is much more powerful for bloggers to converge at the same place with journalists, marketers, digital, music and film innovators then if you had them out there individually and remotely. Before I knew it I was put in touch with with Roman Morales, the Film Showcase Organizer and I came onboard as Programmer for the film component. A big reason I stepped in was because I was particularly attracted to presenting Us independent Latino films to an audience heavy with social media influence and bloggers, to see if it would indeed create a higher level of buzz, publicity and exposure from the community.
Along with a special screening of Filly Brown days before its national theatrical release, this year Hispanicize will screen six features including the high profile sneak preview of The Weinstein Company’s Aftershock, the horror comedy produced and starring Eli Roth, directed by Chilean filmmaker Nicolas Lopez (Que Pena tu Vida, Promedio Rojo). Also, straight from SXSW the music industry and character-driven documentary Los Wild Ones about the Wild Records label and family of Mexican rockabilly acts. With the exception of Aftershock, all the films reflect a taste of the diaspora of unique, bi-cultural Us narratives, and notably are all first features. Three of the films, Blaze You Out, Filly Brown and Mission Park are being distributed by Lionsgate labels Pantelion and Grindstone Entertainment. Meanwhile, seeking distribution is Dreamer written and directed by Salvador born Jesse Salmeron, a poignant and timely story starring and produced by Jeremy Ray Valdez about an upwardly mobile American whose paralyzed by the fear of being deported. Los Wild Ones is also seeking distribution and should find considerable traction within and outside hard core music fan circles.
My personal pride and joy however has to be the shorts film showcase. Portraying visionary quests for identity, love, truth and legacy and created by multicultural emergent voices from San Antonio, Miami, La, NYC, Oaxaca and Puerto Rico. This is the medium in which to find provocative, daring and versatile young generation of fresh voices who you can expect will blow up big soon. To name just a few, the filmmakers include Jillian Mayer and Lucas Leyva of the Borscht corporation, Zoé Salicrup Junco, the filmmaker of Gabi who workshopped her feature script of the short at San Antonio’s CineFestival’s Latino Screenwriters Project, Victor Hugo Duran the Colombia Film grad whose short, Fireworks played at the La Film Festival last year and is currently shooting his first feature in Mexico called La Victoria, and Steve Acevedo, the director of El Cocodrilo which is a powerful and urgent film about a journalist played by Jacob Vargas on the run from narcos, who participated in NBCU Directing Fellowship.
I’ll try not to go all Spring Breaker debauchery when I head to Miami next week. I’m very interested in immersing myself in the Hispanicize program to cover the dialogue and scrutinize the impact so stay tuned for my report.

Eli Roth’s latest collaborator/muse duo Nicolas Lopez and Lorenza Izzo are, if anything, even more enthusiastic than he is. Styling himself as a maverick film-maker, Lopez is known for oddball comedies in his native Chile, and is making his English-language debut with Aftershock, based on the events of the 2010 Chilean earthquake that he personally lived through.
Meanwhile, Izzo has earned Eli Roth’s praise for her role in his upcoming Netflix TV show Hemlock Grove, and is set for bloody shenanigans in Aftershock and The Green Inferno.
The duo are bubbly, prone to good-natured joking, and have a lot to say about their love of genre movies.
Q1: Nicolas, I understand you started writing at quite a young age…
Nicolas Lopez: Yeah.
Q1: And then you created your own website. How did you go from that to then becoming a film director?
Nl: Ummmmm…..well.

It is, it appears, an exciting time to be Eli Roth. A player on the Hollywood scene for over a decade, thanks to the runaway success of Cabin Fever, Roth was propelled to notoriety by the Hostel movies, and earned himself both commercial triumph and critical censure thanks to his seeming status as banner-waver for the so-called torture-porn subgenre that boomed in the Noughties.
Going into a new decade, the torture-porn phenomenon still seems to be going strong, as various film-makers continue to try and shock jaded audiences with ever more creatively-extreme shenanigans. Roth, however, seems set on diversifying his gruesome portfolio, with a spooky exorcism thriller sequel, a cannibal exploitation movie, and a horror TV show; he’s even got an evil clown movie on the horizon. Having attached his name to the well-received The Last Exorcism, it looks like Roth is set upon emphasising that he doesn’t...

Eli Roth basically wrote the modern book on the horror subgenre of hedonistic tourists receiving their comeuppance, so it comes as no surprise that his stamp is all over "Aftershock," a routine shock-fest about a couple of travelers led through a series of misfortunes when their vacation in Chile is interrupted by an earthquake. Roth produced the movie and stars as the sole American of the group, naturally nicknamed Gringo. While bar-hopping with Chilean friends Ariel (Ariel Levy) and Pollo (Nicolás Martinez), Gringo and his fellow pleasure-seekers pick up a trio of likeminded Russian women (Natasha Yarovenko, Lorenza Izzo and Andrea Oscart) as they continue through the night. Just when the chemistry between starts to turn sour, the ground shakes, buildings fall and chaos ensues. Director Nicolás Lopez ("Promedio Rojo") follows the ensuing events with a string of grotesque developments that raise the body count and have more in common with the.

Only four weeks into production, and it seems a bidding war has erupted over a new film co-written and starring Eli Roth. The film is the English-language debut from Chilean director Nicolas Lopez. The film, currently titled Aftershock, is based on Lopez's experiences during the 2010 Chilean earthquake that hit an 8.8 on the Richter scale. Multiple distribution outlets - including Weinstein and Relativity - are after the rights to the flick. More after the jump. "I've been a huge fan of Nicolas Lopez since his remarkable debut Promedio Rojo and have watched him grow into one of the best young filmmakers out there," Roth said. "He has the incredible combination of commercial sensibility with an artistic eye,...

A bidding war has begun for the rights to Aftershock, a genre thriller from Chilean director Nicolas Lopez that stars and is being produced by Eli Roth, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Lopez and Guillermo Amoedo. Deadline, which reports the multiple offers for film rights, says The Weinstein Company and Relativity Media are the top contenders in the race for distribution, but that a sale hasn.t yet been finalized. Why the interest? Well, Aftershock marks the English-language debut of Lopez, whose previous two films -- Que Pena Tu Vida and Que Pena Tu Boda -- were the highest-grossing Chilean films in 2010 and 2011, respectively. .I.ve been a huge fan of Nicolas Lopez since his remarkable debut, Promedio Rojo, and have watched him grow into one of the best young filmmakers out there,.

Throw your mind back to late 2010, when we reported on Eli Roth collaborating with filmmakers to produce two very different horrors. Well, one of them – earthquake thriller Aftershock – is now shooting in Chile and it’s been revealed that Roth is starring in the movie.Aftershock was birthed by Chilean director Nicolas Lopez, based on his experience during the 2010 earthquake that hit his country. He wrote the script with Roth and Guillermo Amoedo, cranking out a script that sees inmates escaping from an insane asylum on an island during the tremors. While character info is being kept under wraps for now, Roth has revealed that he’s taking the lead and that Selena Gomez is making a cameo.“I’ve been a huge fan of Nicolas Lopez since his remarkable debut Promedio Rojo and have watched him grow into one of the best young filmmakers out there,” Roth said in...

Last week a few photos popped of horror maestro Eli Roth and tween icon Selena Gomez hanging out at a club. The odd pairing was questioned, but now we have an answer to their meet-up. Deadline reports they are both part of a new film currently shooting, titled Aftershock. Directed by popular foreign helmer Nicolas Lopez, the thriller surrounds a Chilean earthquake and part of “Eli Roth Presents” series, after The Last Exorcism turned a large profit.
We initially reported on the film way back in November of 2010, announcing a script by Lopez and Roth and Guillermo Amoedo, but it is now, finally, a month into production and distribution is about to come aboard. Possible studios include The Weinstein Company and Relativity Media, for the film that takes place after the February 27th, 2010 disaster that killed over 480 people. But diehard Roth fans need not worry, as he adds a twist...

Eli Roth seems to be sliding into the new position of producer quite easily. So much so, who’s to say if we will ever see the man behind the camera again. There has been talk for a while now about his sci-fi thriller Endangered Species. However, he now has enough projects on his plate that I doubt we will even see that film in the next five years or so. Now, the director/writer/actor/producer has another project on deck. Deadline is reporting that Roth will be producing Aftershock, an earthquake thriller directed by Nicolas Lopez which is to include a cameo by Selena Gomez (groan). Roth will co-write the film with Lopez and fellow writer Guillermo Amoedo. The plot is centered around patients who are released from an insane asylum due to a devastating earthquake. Inspired by the earthquake that skook Chile in 2010, Aftershock is now four weeks into production in Chile.

Nicolas Lopez first got attention on the Us festival circuit with his heartfelt and profane teenage comedy "Promedio Rojo," then promptly vanished down a several-year hole called "Santos," his follow-up film that accurately summed up many of Lopez's geek fetishes but that also wore him out as a filmmaker. He wisely took a step back and rebooted himself as a filmmaker, and in the process, he had one of the biggest hits in Chilean history with the bluntly-titled "F**k My Life." The film is a wry and acutely-observed look at the way social media has changed the landscape of modern relationships,...

Cross Creek Pictures and Vertebra Films are teaming to distribute and finance respectively two horror features which "Hostel" filmmaker Eli Roth will produce.
The first is "Clown" which commercials and music video helmer Jon Watts is directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Christopher D. Ford.
The story follows a loving dad who dons an old clown suit for his son's birthday. When the party is over, he finds the outfit and make-up won't come off no matter what he tries, and he himself is changing both psychologically and physically due to it.
The film is a feature version of the viral video faux trailer the pair put together that went online in October. You can watch it below:
The other is a "high-octane horror-thriller" called "Aftershock". Set during the aftermath of the Chilean earthquake back in February, details are scarce on the English-language film other than the backdrop of...

As a director he still seems to be at work on his FX extravaganza Endangered Species. But with his producing hat on, Eli Roth has just scored two new projects in the form of Clown and Aftershock, in a deal with new production company Vertebra Films.Clown, which will grow Machete-style from a grindhouse-y fake trailer, involves a doting father who dresses up to entertain his son's birthday guests, but then finds that, alien-Venom-symbiote-like, the pom-poms and baggy trousers and big shoes are an evil entity that he can't remove. First-timers Christopher Ford and John Watts put the trailer together prominently using Roth's name. They were afraid he'd sue, so must be rather pleased that he gave them a job instead. Ford wrote and Watts will direct.Aftershock meanwhile is a violent thriller set in the aftermath of this year's Chilean earthquake. Roth will co-write this one with Guillermo Amoedo and Nicolas Lopez.

Chile's Nicolas Lopez - the director of cult hits Promedio Rojo and Santos - is back. And he's feeling romantic. And possibly a little bit drunk.
Declaring Que Pena Tu Vida - in English the less elegant sounding Fuck My Life - his Chasing Amy or High Fidelity, Lopez has created a romantic comedy for the Facebook age. It's a film filled with digital fingerprints left by its unemployed hero's former lovers, at least one of whom is so fertile that she declares she will get pregnant if she so much as steps on a used condom.
With its Chilean release coming soon the official trailer is being attached to prints of the latest Twilight film when it releases locally and I can just imagine what the Twilighters are going to make of this. But no need to travel to Chile! We've got your exclusive first look at the English-friendly...

Chilean director Nicolas Lopez first came to Austin in 2005 for SXSW with his feature film Promedio Rojo in tow. That film was about a fictional comic-book nerd named Roberto Rodriguez who vies for the attention of the hot new girl at school while trying to bolster his self esteem. While Lopez was in town, he convinced producer Elizabeth Avellan (producing partner and ex-wife of the real-life filmmaker Robert Rodriguez) to watch the movie, and she liked it so much that she agreed to have the studio work on the CGI effects for his next feature. That film ended up being Santos, which is another tri ...
