Shine Iberia, Elefantec & Legacy Rock Pact for Miguel Bosé Series

Shine Iberia, Legacy Rock Entertainment and José “Pepe” Bastón’s Elefantec Global have acquired the exclusive life-story rights of actor and recording artist Miguel Bosé to develop as a TV series.

Elefantec Global, the newly formed media and entertainment company from Bastón, along with Legacy Rock Entertainment, are co-producing the series and will handle international sales, marketing and distribution for Mexico and Latin America.

Bosé commented: “I was to live an exceptional life, full of privileges as well as miseries, born in the Olympus and wagered in hell, but nevertheless thrilling, unique and unrepeatable. Time has come to tell it all.”
