La Oreja de Van Gogh, a Spanish pop group that recently became the only Spanish band with a song in Spotify’s Billions Club, is developing a feature film musical titled “Puedes Contar Conmigo.” The project will utilize the band’s catalog of songs to power an original romantic story being written by director Fernando González Molina and screenwriter Miguel López Martínez. The film is currently in advanced stages of development.
Fernando González Molina, known for directing successful romantic dramas including “Three Steps Above Heaven,” “I Want You,” and “Palm Trees in the Snow,” will helm the production. The band itself will serve as an executive producer on the project. Three prominent Spanish producers—Beltrán Cortázar, Domingo Corral, and Gonzalo Sálazar-Simpson—are attached to produce. Cortázar previously worked with production company Suma Content on projects like the 2023 series “La Mesías.” Sálazar-Simpson, founder of Lazona, produced the Goya Award-winning “No Rest for the Wicked” and major commercial hits including “Spanish Affair” and its sequel. Corral, the former head of fiction and entertainment at Movistar Plus, has produced numerous television series and films.
La Oreja de Van Gogh, founded in 1996, recently completed an extensive comeback tour with vocalist Amaia Montero, staging over 100 concerts that sold more than 400,000 tickets across Spain. The group’s repertoire includes numerous platinum and gold-certified recordings spanning decades. The producers indicated the film will aim for ambitious production values and international appeal, with the band’s fanbase extending to Latin America and the U.S. Hispanic market.
