A major extraterrestrial finding in the past was entirely fabricated.
The next big thing on Netflix is the highly-anticipated comedy-drama film, The Man Who Loved UFOs. It's a story that's been known in Argentina for years, but is now gaining attention worldwide. The film is inspired by the astonishing true tale of journalist José de Zer and his infamous report on a supposed UFO landing site in a small town in Córdoba.

It all began in 1986, when de Zer, a fearless entertainment journalist, received a dubious invitation to investigate strange occurrences in the hills of Córdoba. Accompanied by his trusted cameraman Chango, he set out to uncover the truth behind the mysterious circle that had appeared on a scorched field. However, what followed was not a genuine encounter with extraterrestrial life, but rather a case of complete fabrication.

In those days, people were more innocent and trusting, making it easier for de Zer and his team to fool viewers with their made-up story. This became the most famous alien sighting in the history of Argentine television, and de Zer's coverage of the event turned him into a local hero. But what motivated de Zer to concoct such a story? Director and co-writer Diego Lerman explains that he was inspired by the origin of fake news and the public's desire for something to believe in.

However, not everything in the film is completely true. Lerman admits to fabricating some details about de Zer's personal life, as he was a very private person. But the character of de Zer, played by Leonardo Sbaraglia, remains a fascinating and complex figure. Sbaraglia, who has starred in films alongside Robert De Niro and Sigourney Weaver, describes the film as one of the most beautiful he has ever participated in.

The rest of the cast includes Sergio Prina, Osmar Núñez, María Merlino, Agustín Rittano, and Norman Briski, with special appearances by Daniel Aráoz and Mónica Ayos. Interestingly, Lerman's own daughter, Marti, plays the role of de Zer's daughter in the film, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.

After premiering at the San Sebastian Film Festival, The Man Who Loved UFOs will be available for global release on Netflix on October 18. The film will be in Spanish, titled El Hombre Que Amaba Los Platos, but will also have a dubbed version with an English translation. So mark your calendars and get ready for a wild and hilarious ride with Jose de Zer and his infamous catchphrase, "Follow me Chango, follow me." If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, be sure to get in touch with the entertainment team at The Agency - they'd love to hear from you.
