Según las noticias que trascendieron ayer, la cadena HBO, que había decidido renovar la serie Luck, dio vuelta atrás debido a que durante la filmación de su primera temporada se han muerto tres caballos. Insólito pero real.
Desde nuestra humilde opinión creemos que es una excusa ya que la serie cuenta con grandes actores y directores por ende sería desprestigiar a los mismo con una cancelación tan pronta. Le vino al pelo la excusa de los caballos. ¿O van a creer que un canal como HBO con todas sus superproducciones no van a poder manejar un litigio así?.
A continuación les dejo el comunicado de prensa:
It is with heartbreak that executive producers David Milch and Michael Mann together with HBO have decided to cease all future production on the series LUCK.
Safety is always of paramount concern. We maintained the highest safety standards throughout production, higher in fact than any protocols existing in horseracing anywhere with many fewer incidents than occur in racing or than befall horses normally in barns at night or pastures. While we maintained the highest safety standards possible, accidents unfortunately happen and it is impossible to guarantee they won’t in the future. Accordingly, we have reached this difficult decision.
We are immensely proud of this series, the writing, the acting, the filmmaking, the celebration of the culture of horses, and everyone involved in its creation.
Quote from Michael Mann and David Milch: “The two of us loved this series, loved the cast, crew and writers. This has been a tremendous collaboration and one that we plan to continue in the future.”
