The film is scheduled for its official release on August 13th.
This new installment moves its protagonists off planet Earth, facing them with an unprecedented climate crisis. In this plot, an advanced artificial intelligence has determined that the only solution to save the world is to eradicate humanity, forcing our peculiar group of heroes to embark on a space mission to prevent the end of civilization.
A stellar cast and narrative evolution
The film, under the direction of Yasser Michelén and the screenplay by José Ramón Alamá, combines elements of science fiction, drama, and a political satire that seeks to connect intelligently with the audience. Pedro Manuel Casals, a fundamental part of the cast, highlighted the evolution of his character, who now assumes a more significant role as a presidential advisor.
We Dominicans have moved on from simply making clumsy, occasional, or seasonal comedy films to now creating benchmark comedy. There are symbols in the film that carry a metapolitical message that I think the audience will enjoy.

Innovation in local cinema
For José Ramón Alamá, producer of the project, this sequel seeks not only to entertain, but to consolidate the path laid out by the first part, which marked a before and after in the country’s audiovisual industry. With a duration of 90 minutes, the film bets on a polished visual proposal, backed by the cinematography of Camilo Soratti and the editing of Marcos Caraballo.

“The Rejected 2: Space Operation” promises to be a box-office phenomenon, inviting the Dominican public to enjoy a proposal that redefines the standards of comedy in the Dominican Republic.
