“Wild Oats� premieres November 18 across the island in film theatres at CC El Muelle, CC Vecindario, CC Las Arenas, Metropole and others. Most of the filming took place on Gran Canaria with prestigious Hollywood stars including Shirley Maclaine, Jessica Lange, Demi Moore and Billy Connolly, along with Spanish actors Santiago Segura and Tony Acosta. A wealth of locations on the island, including several from the Lopesan hotel chain, will be screened around the world in this comedy that tells the story of a widowed
lady, expertly played by Maclaine, who decides to travel to Gran Canaria with a friend, Jessica Lange, after having mistakenly received a millionaire insurance policy payout. Staying in the Lopesan Costa Meloneras, the protagonists experience an adventure of bedroom entanglements, sunshine and dangerous situations. Though clearly not to be an award winner, the heart warming plot certainly has plenty of scenes from beautiful and well known locations around the island. The shaky script does little justice to the outstanding cast, though sells the island well.
