There have been rumblings of Luis Barone's upcoming superhero comedy Zenitram for quite some time now but also rather a lot of confusion surrounding Argentina's entry into the costumed hero world.
What's it about? Well, if I could speak Spanish I'd tell you but perhaps one of our readers can translate the official synopsis for us:
La película transcurre en un futuro no muy lejano (Año 2025) en una Argentina decadente, donde Buenos Aires resulta azotada por grandes corporaciones que acaparan el monopolio del agua y por un gobierno con gestos populistas y políticas antinacionales.
Una noche, en los baños de Constitución, un joven que acaba de perder su trabajo como recolector de basura, recibe un "don" que le permitirá dominar "el poder del agua" y poseer otros superpoderes entre los que no se cuenta, por cierto, la invulnerabilidad.
Aparece así a los ojos del mundo "un argentino que vuela...

Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I finally sat down to watch the two truly bizarre trailers for writer/director Luis Barone’s upcoming superhero flick “Zenitram.” The clips embedded below are completely without dialogue, leaving you to figure out the specifics on your own. As far as I can tell, Zenitram is a coke-addicted superhero who battles and array of adversaries that he may, in fact, be ill-equipped to properly handle. “Scarface” alumni Steven Bauer figures into this strange little cinematic concoction, and there are apparently several supervillains to contend with, as well. As zany and low-budget as the movie appears to be, I have to see it looks somewhat entertaining. Keep in mind, however, that “Super Mario Brothers,” “Troll 2,” and “Captain America” figure prominently into my personal movie collection. It’s nice to have a frame of reference, isn’t it? Here’s a synopsis,...

Actually make that two trailers. Nearly three years after we first reported on news that Argentina was to join the ranks of the super hero movie making world, we finally get to take a look at their first attempt, Zenitram: The Argentine Who Flies! Employing the most ridiculously catchy soundtracks, both trailers have absolutely no dialog, but instead purely rely on visuals to hook you in. And we have to say it looks like a blast. A black comedy set in a futuristic and decaying Buenos Aires, the movie stars Juam Minujin and Steven Bauer in the tale of Rubén a poor Argentine from the slums, struggling to come to terms with his Cocaine habit!? and newly discovered superpowers. With his tongue firmly in cheek, Zenitram director Luis Barone seems intent on parodying mainstream super hero movies (the scene in the “superhero hospital” rehab centre looks especially funny) through Rubén’s fall from grace.
