Get Ready: Johnny Massaro and Rodrigo Santoro Lead Netflix's 'The Pilgrimage'
Johnny Massaro and Rodrigo Santoro are officially set to star in Netflix’s adaptation of Paulo Coelho’s The Pilgrimage, with cameras now rolling in Spain. We heard whispers about this one a while back, and now it's really happening!
Our screens are about to be blessed with not one, but TWO incredible actors taking on this journey. Rodrigo Santoro, who you might remember from his intense roles in 300 and HBO’s Westworld, is joining fellow Brazilian actor Johnny Massaro, who we adored in God Save The King. Seriously, we’re talking about a cast that will have us absolutely glued to our screens!
Johnny plays Paulo, a man embarking on a spiritual pilgrimage through the stunning mountains, forests, and fields of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. He's guided by the enigmatic Petrus, played by none other than Rodrigo, and their journey promises a series of trials that will transform Paulo’s search for self-knowledge. Expect mysterious encounters and invisible forces testing both men’s physical and spiritual limits. This sounds like the perfect blend of a road movie and the magical realism we love from Coelho’s work. We are beyond excited to see this bestselling book come to life!
