Andor’s Adria Arjona is set to star alongside Edgar Ramirez (the Golden Globe-nominated actor of American Crime Story and Carlos) in El Sombreron, a dystopian thriller from Jayro Bustamante, the acclaimed director of 2019’s La Llorona and 2015’s Ixcanul.
“El Sombreron” tells the story of Lila, an ambitious woman trapped in hell as the trophy wife of a violent cartel boss.
Desperate for liberation, she seizes the opportunity presented by a mysterious stranger named Ramón, who promises to smuggle her north to Paradise.
However, as Lila journeys with him, she discovers the harrowing truth about her companion and finds herself thrust into a surreal odyssey through the depths of hell.
Bustamente’s previous crime horror “La Llorona” granted him the best director and best film awards in Venice Days.
“In ‘El Sombreron,’ Jayro fuses magical realism, folklore, and horror to vividly evoke the hell that borders create,” said the producers. “We could not have asked for two better guides through the inferno than the immensely talented Adria Arjona and Edgar Ramirez.”
Arjona will next be seen starring in Richard Linklater’s “Hit Man” opposite Glen Powell, which will be released in theaters on May 24 and on Netflix June 7. She will also be seen in Zoe Kravitz’s directorial debut film, “Blink Twice,” which will be released in theaters on Aug. 23.Arjona was most recently seen starring in Disney+’s series, “Andor,” in which she stars opposite Diego Luna.
