El Chapulín Colorado live-action film development

Overview

Producer Roberto Gómez Fernández has announced that a live-action feature film exploring the origins of the iconic character ‘El Chapulín Colorado’ is in development. The announcement was made during the CANACINE Luminus Awards in Mexico City.

Departing from previous animated iterations, the project will feature live actors. While specific plot details are currently unavailable, the film aims to depict how the hero first came to be. Gómez Fernández noted that the project has been in development for years to ensure the legacy of his father, Roberto Gómez Bolaños, is handled with care. A lead actor has not yet been selected, with the producer emphasizing the need for someone “deserving of that position.”

The film announcement follows other projects related to the Chespirito legacy, such as the miniseries ‘Sin querer queriendo’ and the animated series ‘Los colorados’.
