We wanted to create a visual ‘love letter’ to Pedro Infante; a tender and funny homage that follows our beloved icon as he seeks redemption and love on the screen. Audiences will see Omar as they’ve never seen him before. We were thrilled to partner with Netflix to bring this film to life for the whole family” producer Carolyn Caldera De Fanti said.
"‘Como Caído del Cielo’ presented me with the enormous challenge of confronting an icon like Pedro Infante, with all the situations which this entails, in addition to alluding to the joy of the unforgettable characters that Pedro represented on the screen and who made him a symbol of Mexicanity itself. Omar Chaparro plays the role of his life.
