‘Santa Evita’s’ Natalia Oreiro to Star in EO Media-El Camino Murder Mystery ‘Punta Blanca’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Argentina’s EO Media has teamed up with Uruguay-based El Camino to co-produce murder mystery mini-series ‘Punta Blanca’ starring Natalia Oreiro.

Described by the producers as a “thrilling whodunit that takes place in the glamorous coast of ‘90s Punta del Este, Uruguay,” it’s inspired by such pics as “Knives Out“ or “Murder on the Orient Express” “where the identity of the killer remains a mystery until the very end and includes a nod to the Oscar-winning ‘Parasite.’ Here, beneath the veneer of glamour, another world lurks, waiting to be unveiled.” Its cash-strapped film-TV body, INCAA, has been defunded by the administration of the new far-right president Javier Milei, among other draconian moves to rein in the country’s hyperinflation. EO Media’s credits include Disney’s “Ringo,” Amazon Original “El Presidente” and the upcoming bio series “Cris Miró,” about the late Argentine trans artist who rose to prominence as a vedette in Buenos Aires’ revue theatre scene.
