MMFF Showdown - Yesterday Today Tomorrow


Diamond Star Maricel Soriano comes back in Yesterday Today Tomorrow.

Yesterday Today Tomorrow tells the interconnected saga of love, loss and deception.

It’s about what happens to a family when faced with a tragedy and how it changes each and every member and how they deal with that tragedy that befalls them,” explains the film's director Jun Lana in his first foray to directing an entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival.

“I never think of it as a Metro Manila Film Festival movie kasi it’s still the same effort. Kahit naman pang-regular playdate, sineseryoso naman namin at binibigay namin lahat.

“Even if they pressure me, I won’t allow them to pressure me. I’ll just do my best.”

Aside from being the only heavy drama entry to the festival, there is more with Yesterday Today Tomorrow that the audience will fall in love with.

“For one, ‘yong casting alone makes it a movie event,” boasts Direk Jun.

“And then we made sure that the story is very entertaining. I mean it’s for the film fest. Christmas siya lalabas, so dapat entertaining talaga siya.”

The film stars Diamond Star Maricel Soriano in her comeback roll since 2009, together with Gabby Concepcion, Jericho Rosales, Dennis Trillo, Paulo Avelino, Lovi Poe, Carla Abellana, Solenn Heussaff, Ronaldo Valdez, Agot Isidro and introducing Eula Caballero

MMFF Showdown – Manila Kingpin


Manila Kingpin: The Untold Story of Asiong Salonga is the only action movie in this year's MMFF. 




Manila Kingpin: The Untold Story of Asiong Salonga sets itself apart from other MMFF entries for two reasons. First, it is the only action movie to join this year's film festival. Second, it is the only entry to be in black and white. 


Storyline


The film biopic is based on the life of Nicasio Rodriguez Salonga, a heinous public enemy who was better known as Asiong Salonga. The film stars Laguna governor ER Ejercito, who uses his screen name Jeorge Estregan in the movie. The celebrity-politician said in an interview with PEP that the film was set in black and white to make it resemble the gangster films shown during Asiong's heydays than span after World War II and the early years of the 1950s.


Joining Estregan are Carla Abellana, Valerie Concepcion, Baron Geisler, Ping Medina, Dennis Padilla, and Philip Salvador. 


The film is directed by Tikoy Cruz and written by Roy Iglesias and Roy Ventura.
