Escobar: Paradise Lost, a Chapter 2 and Roxbury production, internationally marketed by Pathé International and distributed in the United States by Radius/TWC, will close the Pearls section of the 62nd San Sebastian Festival.

Written and directed by Andrea di Stefano, the film stars Academy Award-winner Benicio del Toro as Pablo Escobar, Josh Hutcherson (Hunger Games), Claudia Traisac and Carlos Bardem.

Benicio del Toro has confirmed that he will come to San Sebastian to present the film and receive the Donostia Award for his whole career. Josh Hutcherson, Andrea Di Stefano and Carlos Bardem will also attend the Festival.

Benicio del Toro has earned critical accolades throughout his career, winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Steven Soderbergh's Traffic as well as an Oscar nomination for his work in Alejandro González Iñarritu's 21 Grams. Del Toro re-teamed with Soderbergh to star in the biography of Che Guevera Che. The performance won him the Best Actor award at the Palme D'Or Closing ceremony at Cannes in 2008, and again the following year at the Goya Awards in Madrid, Spain.
