'Reality Z': Meet Madonna's ex Jesus Luz, Sabrina Sato and rest of the cast of Netflix's Brazillian zombie horror
When a zombie outbreak plagues Rio de Janeiro, a TV-studio becomes people's last hope and resort for shelter to protect themselves. The people are primarily stars of a very successful reality show 'Olympus' where a bunch of people called TK, Augusto, Jessica, Marcos, Teresa, Madonna and Christina are all trapped, clinging on to their life. Of course, the zombies break in, and of course, the mayhem ensues, but if the faces of these characters slashing, chopping, and braving this horror to survive keep distracting you about where you've seen them before, we have some news for you.
Sabrina Sato
Even though listed as a guest star, almost every poster for 'Reality Z' has Sato at the front. She appears as Divina McCall and the trailer reveals she is either hosting, or a former winner, or some of the big shots surrounding the show. The Brazilian TV presenter herself has also been a contestant on 'Big Brother Brasil 3' (2003) and hosted the comedy program 'Pânico na TV' from 2004 until 2013. Her own show on Record TV has existed since 2014.
Guilherme Weber
Weber's character Brand, again, looks like the producer of 'Olympus'. The trailer doesn't entirely give it away, but he looks like he's behind pulling the strings just as much as Sato's is behind orchestrating the whole show. Weber is known for his extensive works on both the stage and the screen. He has been part of award-winning theatrical troupes since the age of 14, and some of his most memorable film credits include 'Árido Movie', 'Nina', 'Olga', 'Cruz e Sousa', and 'Fui Rei'.
Jesus Luz
The 33-year-old Brazilian heartthrob is a model and a DJ who stars as Lucas in the upcoming zombie horror. Most popularly known as Madonna's hot, younger ex-boyfriend, Luz and the pop icon's connection began when Steven Klein chose him to pose alongside her for a W magazine photoshoot. Rumors surrounding their relationship began in December 2008 and soon Luz became internationally recognized working with all the top high-end brands, while also practicing Kabbalah which he was introduced to by Madonna herself. His DJ-ing career saw him attend 'Dubspot' -- a DJ school in New York City and according to reports, and just on his second professional DJ job, he was being paid around $15,000.
Emilio de Mello
Mello plays the role of Alberto Levi, and while we don't know much about his character, he is an easily recognizable name in real life for his acclaimed filmography, which has been acknowledged by best actor nominations for an International Emmy Award, for his starring role in the series 'Psi'.
Carla Ribas
Starring as Ana Schmidt, the actress and producer, known for her works in 'Alice's House' (2007), 'Marighella' (2019) and 'Campo Grande' (2015). Luellem de Castro, Ravel Andrade, Wallie Ruy, and Ana Hartmann also star in the zombie horror dropping this June 10 only on Netflix.
