Eduardo Noriega’s character in Alejando Amenábar’s 1997 Open Your Eyes has some similarities with Antonio from The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.
Eduardo Noriega is one of the many Spanish actors in the cast of the third season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, the AMC spin-off that has breathed new life into the zombi television universe based on Robert Kirkman’s comic by bringing the action to Europe: France in the first two seasons, and now Spain in the third season currently airing, and the fourth, which is being filmed now.
We recently spoke with the show stars at the San Diego Comic-Con in Malaga, asking for some nuances that their North American colleagues would probably miss. Specifically, Noriega, who plays Antonio, told us that his character’s portrayal reminds him of that of Abre los Ojos (Open Your Eyes), Alejandro Amenábar’s 1997 film that was remade four years later with Tom Cruise in Vanlilla Sky.
