Zico’s Documentary Sets April 30 Cinema Release After Rio Pre-Premiere

Overview

• At a pre-premiere in Rio’s Barra da Tijuca, Flamengo players including Paquetá, Jorginho, Pedro, Léo Ortiz and Saúl joined club president Luiz Eduardo Baptista and Zico’s family to preview the film.
• Zico, o Samurai de Quintino is scheduled to open in Brazilian cinemas on April 30 with wide backing from major media partners.
• Director João Wainer leads a production by Vudoo Filmes and Guará Entretenimento in co-production with Globo Filmes, SporTV, Pontos de Fuga and Ainvestimage.
• The preview features high-definition restorations of key moments plus new testimony from Maestro Júnior, Paulo César Carpegiani, Carlos Alberto Parreira, Ronaldo Fenômeno and broadcaster José Carlos Araújo.
• In launch-week interviews, Zico said Neymar’s talent is clear but a lack of steady matches is a concern for World Cup selection, and he framed the film as a look at his journey through pressures rather than a reel of goals.
