"Tomorrow I could be dead" recalls the story of a group of reckless Spanish stuntmen active during the second half of last century. Their vibrating careers firstly introduced them to roman peplum and big budget historical films - Alexander the Great, Spartacus, Ursus, King of Kings, 55 Days in Peking- later on to spaghetti westerns - the Leone Dollar-Trilogy, Django, Keoma- and finally to big international productions in the 70's and 80's such as Conan the Barbarian, The Wind and the Lion, Breakout or Indiana Jones and the last crusade.
These men, half brave, half crazy have become part of history of cinema and, thanks to their profession- filled with anecdotes- and their adventurous condition reveal themselves as extremely interesting characters whose stories still await to be told. Thanks to their commitment, Spanish stuntmen still are sought after for their extraordinary skills on horseback.
"Mañana podría estar muerto (Tomorrow I could be dead)" is an upcoming documentary produced by Mano Negra Films in coproduction with Jaleo Films, La Voz que yo amo and Video Mercury. Directed by Joaquin Escaso, written by Joaquin Escaso, Ruben Ordieres and Daniel Mendez and executive produced by Alvaro Alonso, Chema de la Peña and Daniel Mendez.
