‘El Conde’’s Alfredo Castro to Star in Argentine Neo-Horror Femme Drama ‘Queen of the Woods’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Argentina’s Luján Loioco is prepping her third pic, ‘Queen of the Woods’ starring Chile’s Alfredo Castro and Argentine actress Delfina Chaves.
Principal photography is slated to start mid-2024 for a film that stands as a testament to the rise of women filmmakers in Latin America and their creative prowess. “I’ve always been an admirer of Luján Loioco’s previous indie films,” said Bove, adding: “Her vision, her fresh writing and directorial style as well as her handling of deep emotional conflicts with such strength and subtlety at the same time, inspired me to want to produce ‘Queen of the Woods.’” Loioco’s “About a Woman” (“Algo con una mujer,” 2020), which she co-directed with Mariano Turek, is a crime thriller set during a politically fraught period in Argentina in 1955 where a seamstress-housewife is the sole witness to a murder committed by her neighbor.
