Francella and Suar to Co-Star in Dark Comedy 'Un funeral y medio'

Finished shooting, the film has entered post-production ahead of a planned March 2027 theatrical release.

Overview

  • The production wrapped this week and the film will be the first feature to cast Guillermo Francella and Adrián Suar as co-leads.
  • Ariel Winograd directs an adaptation by Fernando Castets produced by Argentina Sono Film, Hillcrest Films Inc. and Sony Pictures International with Buena Vista International set to distribute.
  • The project is a dark comedy based on the British film Death at a Funeral and follows a family funeral that devolves into escalating chaos without revealing plot twists.
  • Distributors have begun early promotion with behind-the-scenes clips and the cast held a wrap dinner that generated celebrity coverage separate from core production news.
  • With two of Argentina’s biggest box-office names and Winograd’s commercial track record, the film is positioned as a key national release to watch in March 2027.
