Actor and film director Santiago Segura announced this Monday the return of ‘Torrente’ with the sixth film in the saga starring the fictional character of José Luis Torrente, a sexist, racist and Francoist policeman, with whom the filmmaker achieved great popularity.

In an interview on Antena 3’s ‘El Hormiguero’, Santiago Segura revealed that he has been writing the new ‘Torrente’ film for two and a half years, the shooting of which is scheduled to begin next year. Without giving further details, the actor did reveal that the film will be called ‘Torrente presidente’.

The filmmaker, immersed in the promotion of ‘Padre no hay más que uno 4’, has pointed out that he believes that the Spanish are “funny” and will continue to have “a great sense of humor” with the return of ‘Torrente’, a film starring himself and which premiered for the first time in 1998.

“People clearly understand what fiction is. Within fiction, there are things that you say ‘what bad taste’, ‘I didn’t like it’… but it’s okay, it’s a joke,” Segura said.
