**Antonio Banderas Sets Sail in Action Thriller “Above and Below”**
**Spain** – Antonio Banderas, known for his iconic roles in action films like “The Mask of Zorro” and “Desperado,” is diving into a new maritime thriller, “Above and Below.” Filming has commenced in Spain for the action-packed film, which will see Banderas starring alongside Laura Marano (formerly of Disney’s “Austin & Ally” and “Liv and Maddie”) as well as Christina Ochoa and Mario Tardón.
“Above and Below” follows a group of friends whose vacation at sea turns into a nightmare when they are attacked by violent criminals. Marano’s character, Tatiana, must find a way to save herself and her friends. Banderas plays Burns, a cold and calculating man with a presence that inspires both respect and fear.
The film is directed by Jesse V. Johnson, a veteran stuntman known for directing action films like “Accident Man” and “Triple Threat,” and who also worked on big-budget films such as “Mission Impossible III” and “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”.
“Above and Below” is being distributed worldwide by Capstone Pictures. No release date has been announced yet, but with production underway, further details and a premiere date are expected soon.
