director Jonás Cuarón about Netflix’s upcoming action-adventure movie. Cuarón discussed his childhood love of Amblin movies and his passion for lucha libre.“Shy 13-year-old Alex flies from Kansas City to Mexico to meet his extended family for the first time. There he meets his grandfather and former lucha libre champion Chava, energetic, wrestling-obsessed cousin Memo, and fearless, hip cousin Luna.
Tyler Treese: I really enjoyed the movie and lucha libre plays a large part in Chupa. Are you a fan of Mexican wrestling? I really loved getting to see the footage of the old wrestling, followed by some of the moves brought out later on as well.: Thank you very much for having me. Lucha libre … definitely. Growing up in Mexico, I was a huge lucha libre fan. It’s such an acrobatic sport, but it is also a sport that comes with narratives.
I think I was a kid in the ’90s when the myth started. It started in Puerto Rico, but it really quickly spread all over Latin America. I was a kid in Mexico and I saw it everywhere in the news and it was very exciting, this idea, as a kid, that there could be a real magical creature outside your door, you know? So I think that was very exciting.
Well, first of all, working with Christian was incredible. This whole movie was a trip down memory lane for me, and Christian was a face I grew up watching. When building the character of Quinn, it was important for us that he wasn’t two-dimensional and that he actually was a scientist going after the creatures for a reason. A reason that maybe would have had a good purpose to it.
