Urbizu has made a number of crime thrillers and comedies but also, most interestingly, is credited as a co-screenwriter on Roman Polanski's horror film, The Ninth Gate.

De la Iglesia then took part in the short film, Mama (1988), a homage to American B-movies by Pablo Berger.

The two men became fast friends and have worked together ever since, writing the screenplays to every one of De La Iglesia's films.
