Guillermo Francella Details Pre‑Shoot Car Crash in Fuerteventura as 'Playa de Lobos' Stays on Schedule

Francella told El Hormiguero the collision was a scare with no lasting impact on the production.

Overview

  • The actor said the crash happened the night before filming and involved the producer Florencia, her daughter, and his brother, with airbags deploying and only non‑life‑threatening injuries reported.
  • He attributed the incident to getting lost among numerous roundabouts in Fuerteventura, some unlit, after following navigation directions.
  • Francella described an ambulance arriving almost immediately after the collision, a timing he found unusual.
  • Director Javier Veiga recalled fearing for a moment that the film had ended before it began upon hearing of the accident.
  • The Spain premiere remains set for Friday, December 5, 2025, with an Argentina theatrical release expected on February 26, 2026.
