Luli Magda & Lore announce Burger Night cast

The bizarre alien horror universe of Jimmy and Stiggs is clearly ready for an international expansion. The franchise, known for its over-the-top practical effects and manic energy, is bubbling up a fresh spin-off titled Burger Night: Luli, Magda & Lore, which is taking the story to the heart of Argentina.

The project has already locked in a stellar cast, ensuring that this new cinematic adventure will be led by an extraordinary ensemble of actresses. Returning to the fold as executive producer is Eli Roth, alongside writer-director Joe Begos, bringing their established vision to this new narrative. Directing the project is Sebastián De Caro, who is tasked with reimagining the extraterrestrial splatterfest from an entirely new Argentine perspective.

This expansion isn’t a remake; instead, Burger Night: Luli, Magda & Lore tells a parallel story set during the same alien crisis in Argentina. It delves into a completely new group of characters facing existential dread under the shadow of an invasion, perfectly leveraging the DNA of the original series while offering something entirely unique for genre fans.

The creative team behind this venture is equally impressive. Producer Pablo Guisa Koestinger, founder of Grupo Morbido, has joined the production alongside Roth, Begos, and Meg Thomson, lending the project a rich foundation. De Caro expressed immense excitement about the talent assembled:

“I am thrilled with the cast — these are women of extraordinary talent, true cinema lovers, brave and wild. They are going to surprise everyone. Each one understands her character perfectly and they all fell in love with the original material.”

The lead roles are filled by a powerful group: Agostina Palazzolo (Ciclón​>), Agustina “Papry” Suásquita (Envious​>), and Maia Tarcic (Letters to My Ex​>). The excitement from the actresses is palpable. Agostina Palazzolo stated her pride in being part of a national project led by such talented women. For Agustina “Papry” Suásquita, this film represents her first foray into genre cinema, allowing her to experience adrenaline and creativity in a new linguistic space.

Maia Tarcic highlighted the unique angle of the story, noting that while everyone has seen movies about aliens landing in the United States, exploring what happens when they arrive in Argentina offers a uniquely stimulating creative challenge. She finds it exciting to participate in a creative journey quite unusual for Argentine cinema.

The original Jimmy and Stiggs became an independent horror sensation, lauded by reviewers for its visceral gore and practical creature effects. Now, the universe continues to expand with this new spin-off, promising an exhilarating and unexpected cinematic experience that blends genre mayhem with a fresh, passionate perspective.
