BUONG pagmamalaking ipinost ng producer ng Quantum Films na si Atty. Joji Alonso sa kanyang social media account na ang ikalawang franchise ng Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank ay kasalukuyang may screening sa Museum of Modern Art In New York ngayon.
Post ni Atty. Joji, “6 years later and after a sequel has been created -- ang Babae sa Septic Tank at the museum of modern art in New York. From Martinez Rivera and Quantum Films. #ProudlyInsane #ProudlyFilipino #NeverSayDie.”
Naririto naman ang post ni Chris Martinez, ang direktor ng pelikulang pinagbibidahan ni Eugene Domingo: “The Woman in the Septic Tank @ MoMA The Museum of Modern Art!!!
ALAMIN: Mga dapat malaman at gawin upang maging ligtas sa ‘tsunami’
“A three-person indie filmmaking team — all middle-class, English-speaking, young, and ambitious — has grand plans to make it big in the film world. Philippine films have been well-received at glamorous international film festivals, and they have just the right story to satisfy the appetite of the global film elites: a desperate mother of seven kids in an urban slum who has no choice but to pimp out one of her kids — initially a girl, but later switched to a boy for sure-win dramatic effect.
“On top of exploiting the ‘poverty porn’ formula, the filmmakers experiment with every possible stylistic cliché, from heart-wrenching docudrama to campy musical, to maximize the emotional response. This witty comedy, a box office success at home, proves that Filipino filmmakers are not afraid to poke fun at themselves and their colleagues.”
Nagpadala kami ng mensahe kay Atty. Joji para itanong kung may plano silang gawan ng isa pang sequel ang pelikula ni Eugene na malaki rin ang kinita sa box-office nang ipalabas, pero hindi kami sinagot habang tinatapos namin ang item na ito.
Ang alam namin, abala ngayon ang Quantum producer sa entry nila para sa Metro Manila Film Festival 2017 na pagbibidahan ulit nina Jennylyn Mercado at Jericho Rosales.
Matatandaang top grosser ang Walang Forevernina Echo at Jen noong 41st MMFF (2015) at nanalo rin ng awards -- Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Original Story, Best Screenplay, Best Picture, at Fernando Poe, Jr. Memorial Award for Excellence.
Hmmm, sayang at hindi namin naitanong kung ano ang titulo ng bagong pelikula nina Jennylyn at Jericho kay Atty. Joji nang makita namin siya sa advance screening ng Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin nina Kim Chiu at Gerald Andersonsa Trinoma Cinema 7 nu’ng nakaraang linggo. (Reggee Bonoan)
