She really is about that American dream and getting what\u2019s hers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>La Fortuna, she added, is a<span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\"> \u201cnostalgic, treasure hunt, love story that takes place across two continents. It\u2019s so beautifully shot \u2013 the cinematography is stunning \u2013 and it\u2019s kind of leading the way in being multilingual, and that\u2019s a beautiful thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p> <p>As the inexperienced \u00c1lex goes up against the cunning Frank, Miller thinks viewers might not be sure who to root for \u2013 if indeed they should root for anybody. \u201c<span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">All the characters are very passionate about their own viewpoints and I think it\u2019s for the audiences to decide if there is a wrong or right, if there is a villain and a hero, or if there are any heroes at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">\u201cI think that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna come into question, if people really sit with it and take stock of what\u2019s happened. That\u2019s the interesting part of this story.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Though there\u2019s a glamour to the series courtesy of its gorgeous locations and themes of plundering the seas for lost treasures, Miller hopes the more hard-hitting themes that lie beneath the surface will resonate with La Fortuna\u2019s audience. \u201cC<span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">ulture is beautiful \u2013 we must keep celebrating it, because it\u2019s what makes the world a freaking interesting place,\u201d she said. \u201cBut we must not glorify colonialism, glorify the bloodshed and the genocide, in the name of f**king arts and culture.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>La Fortuna is directed and co-written by Amen\u00e1bar \u2013 an established player in the world of cinema but taking his first steps into the world of television. If adapting to a new medium was a challenge for the Spanish-Chilean filmmaker though, Miller says \u201cyou would never know it\u201d.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;LA\" fortuna=\"\" premieres=\"\" mon=\"\" january=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H3_hXY5c8Hk?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">\u201cHe\u2019s calm and cool and disciplined. He\u2019s so relaxed on set, he knows exactly what he wants and he never gets flustered. It was such a beautiful set to work on and that starts from the top.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Working with a writer\/director like Amen\u00e1bar \u2013 or The Haunting of Bly Manor\u2019s Mike Flangan \u2013 who has greater creative control over a project \u201cabsolutely\u201d has an impact on production, according to Miller.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">\u201cThere\u2019s just a bit more freedom \u2013 you know, we haven\u2019t got to run any changes up the flagpole, so that kind of collaboration is really lovely,\u201d she said. \u201cLa Fortuna was almost like theatre in that you got to play, you know? Some TV can be really quick \u2013 go in, say your lines, next next\u2026 and it feels a bit like a factory, sometimes. Not recently for me, but it can feel like that, because there\u2019s pressure for time. With this, we felt like we have the luxury of time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>La Fortuna will premiere with a double bill on Monday 17th January at 9pm on AMC, exclusively to BT TV customers.
