‘El Encargado’ Star Guillermo Francella and Writer-Directors Mariano Cohn, Gaston Duprat Re-Team for ‘Homo Argentum’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Set up at Buenos Aires-based Pampa Films, ‘Homo Argentum’ is the latest from ‘Official Competition’ and ‘El Encargado’ writer-directors.
Argentina’s Guillermo Francella and writer-directors Mariano Cohn and Gaston Duprat, star and creators of Disney+/Star+ smash hit “El Encargado”(Hulu’s “The Boss”), are re-teaming on “Homo Argentum,” an around 10-episode movie anthology, skewering the frustrations, paranoia and bloodymindedness seething below the surface of modern-day life. Cohn and Duprat has consolidated as one of Argentina’s foremost filmmaking forces, with an ever larger international reach, directing Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas in “Official Competition” and Robert De Niro in Argentine TV series “Nada.” Now in pre-production, its episodes, lasting one to 20 minutes, will vary in format and content, but “all are within the framework of dramatic comedies, which is our auteurist hallmark, as in films such as ‘Official Competition’ and ‘The Distinguished Citizen’ or in series like ‘El Encargado’ or ‘Nada,” Duprat and Cohn told Variety.
