Philippines’ Tba Studios has unveiled the trailer for historical biopic Quezon, ahead of the film’s domestic theatrical release on October 15.

Starring Jericho Rosales (Siargao) as Manuel L. Quezon, the feature is part of Tba Studios’ “Bayaniverse” trilogy, a series of films based on Philippine history.

Other stars in the film include Game of Thrones actor Iain Glen, Benjamin Alves (Widows’ War), Mon Confiado (Exchange) and singer-actress Karylle.

The “Bayaniverse” includes Heneral Luna (2015), the Philippines’ highest-grossing historical movie of all time — as well as Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral (2018). Jerrold Tarog directed both movies and returned to helm Quezon.

Tba Studios President and COO Daphne O. Chiu-Soon said that while Quezon is the conclusion to the film studio’s trilogy, Quezon is designed as a stand-alone film.

Following its premiere in the Philippines, Quezon will be released internationally at a later date.

The new film directed by Jules Katanyag, titled The Oskars Fantasy, is one of the most absurd movies I’ve seen recently. Starring Filipino actors Paolo Contis and Joross Gamboa, the film revolves around a movie crew that finds itself getting eaten alive by monsters from the netherworld. The plotline might sound like this is a horror film, but it’s an out-and-out absurd comedy. Two men team up together and try to make a film, hoping that it will win them an Academy Award. On the way, they encounter actual monsters that were supposed to have been generated by visual effects. Paolo Contis plays producer Bobby B, who quits his job working for a tycoon and dealing with his unbearable son. He finds an ally in Direk Dmz who brings a once-in-a-lifetime script to him. Fantasies take over, and they visit Dmz’s grandma’s village to start shooting,...
