Bilib si yours truly sa Mentorque Productions 'coz ang first movie nila titled Mallari ay hindi lang napabilang sa MMFF 2023 this coming Christmas Day kundi ito rin ang first Pinoy film to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures all over the world.
And take note, nagkaroon pa itey ng biggest mediacon at fancon kick-off kamakailan lamang sa MOA na talagang sangkatutak na movie press ang invited with matching pa-raffle pa tapos ang daming fans na dumalo rin sa fancon ng said movie kahit na super-layo ng lugar, ha?
Sina Piolo Pascual, Janella Salvador, Gloria Diaz at JC Santos ang lead stars ng Mallari written by Enrico Santos at sa direction naman ni Direk Derick Cabrido.
Sa mediacon ng Mallari ay napansin namin na tipong bumata, pumuti at lalong naging pogi si Piolo Pascual, in pernes. Maging ang former beauty queen na si Gloria Diaz ay tipong hindi tumatanda ang fezlak, byuti pa rin at hindi halatang may mga apo na, sa true lang.
Tatlong characters ang ginampanan sa Mallari movie ni Piolo bilang Fr. Severino Mallari, John Rey at Jonathan at matagumpay naman niyang nagampanan.
“It was hard because, three roles, eh. So, I just... parang as an actor, that’s the challenge, not knowing what to expect. By just saying yes, I guess for me, I was up for the challenge and I just wanted to do something different. And when this came about, I guess it just fell into place, and the big production value alone was big consideration, who’s very ambitious, but they lived up to the expectations and everything. So. I just really happy about that.
“With this film, with the backing of Warner Bros., I hope we'll be able to not just be a top grosser but to be shown not just here but internationally. Para naman ma-notice ‘yung Philippine cinema, and horror genre for that matter, because malakas ‘yung horror dito sa Pilipinas.
“It was really hard but what made it easy was the vision of my director. Direk Derick (Cabrido) knew what he wanted and he knew his vision. He had a vision, in his film, his story. Ang pagkakasulat ni Sir Enrico, napakalinaw. Though it went through several drafts, and biggest blessing for me was having an acting coach. Tita Anggie Castrence,” ang mahabang pahayag ni Piolo during the Q&A portion ng Mallari mediacon.
O, siya, huwag kaligtaang panoorin itong Mallari movie this coming MMFF 2023 na tipong may pagka-horror ang tema ng istorya.
At tipong bagay ding panoorin itey ng mga magsyota 'coz puwede silang magyakapan nang magyakapan tuwing may mga nakakatakot na eksena.
Devah naman, Reggee Bonoan? Boom, 'yun na! Insert smiley, ☺!
