EXCLUSIVE: Myriad Pictures has acquired the U.S. rights to the adventure-comedy Las Tres Sisters (previously known as Sisters) with plans to release it in theaters in the first quarter of 2025.
The film stars Cristo Fernández (Ted Lasso, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts), Marta Méndez Cross (The Bounce Back, Believe in Me), Valeria Maldonado (For Better, For Worse, Coco) and Virginia Novello (Gone, In Absentia). Fernández also executive produces through his Espectro MX Films production banner.
Las Tres Sisters follows three sisters who reunite after years of estrangement to complete their beloved grandmother’s pilgrimage through rural Mexico. When Maria (Cross), the eldest, discovers that she has breast cancer, she cooks up a plan to bring her sisters Lucia (Maldonado) and Sofia (Novello) along with her in the search for a miracle. With an old map, no hiking experience and their lives unraveling around them, the trio encounter hilarious and touching experiences on the “camino,” until Kin (Fernández), a local with a mysterious past, interrupts their road to the end of the trail.
“We are very excited to be working with this familia of filmmakers who worked in many roles such as producers, actors and creators to bring this film to life,” shared Kirk D’Amico, CEO of Myriad Pictures, in a statement. “The behind-the-scenes of how this film came together is as heartwarming as the film itself. We can’t wait for audiences to learn about this film and to have a chance to travel along with these wonderful sisters on their emotional journey full of both tears and laughter.”
Mexican filmmaker Mar Novo directs the script written by Novello, Méndez Cross, Maldonado and Youssef Delara. Denisse Prieto along with Novello, Cross Maldonado are producers. In addition to Fernández, Gustavo Castillion and Gonzalo Ruiz de Velasco also executive produced.
Las Tres Sisters received the LFI Works in Progress Initiative Award presented by the Latino Film Institute and supported by Amazon MGM Studios. Additionally, the film was part of the first edition of the LALIFF Film Market at the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival.
“Since the very first time I was approached with the script, to the moments after shooting, I’ve been very passionate about it, especially because it was shot in my hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico, and its surroundings,” Fernández said. “It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey, and this story talks about that and in my life, I identify with that. For the sisters, it was a discovery about life, the journey to discover themselves and to create a bond.”
