Nadine Lustre natatakot bang makipagbakbakan kina Marian, Sharon, Vilma at Nora sa MMFF 2023?
Sharon Cuneta, Nadine Lustre, Dingdong Dantes at Marian Rivera
MAS lamang ang excitement na nararamdaman ni Nadine Lustre kesa takot at pressure sakaling makapasok sa Metro Manila Film Festival 2023 ang bago niyang pelikula na “Nokturno.”
Kung mapipili ang naturang pelikula na mula pa rin sa Viva Films at sa diresyon ni Mikhail Red, ito na ang magkasunod na taong lalaban si Nadine sa MMFF. Last year ang entry niyang “Deleter” ang itinanghal na big winner.
At kung mapapabilang nga sa mga official entrs year ang “Nokturno”, makakalaban ni Nadine ang entry ni Sharon Cuneta na “A Mother and a Son’s Story” at ang movie nina Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes na “Rewind.”
Inaasahan ding makakapasok sa MMFF 2023 ang comeback movie ni Vilma Santos with Christopher de Leon na “When I Met You in Tokyo”, at ang pelikula ni Superstar Nora Aunor na “Pieta,” kasama sina Alfred Vargas, Jaclyn Jose, at Gina Alajar.

Ayon kay Nadine, ipinagdarasal nila na sana’y makapasok nga sa taunang filmfest ang “Nokturno” tulad ng kanyang horror-suspense thriller na “Deleter na siyang naging top-grossing entry last year.
Sey ni Direk Mikhail nang makachikahan namin at ng ilan lang members ng press sa storycon ng “Nokturno”, hindi naman daw talaga nila inasahan na mapapasama sa MMFF 2022 ang “Deleter”.
“We just wanted to tell the story. I saw the passion and sincerity of Nadine to make ‘Deleter’ the best that it can be. Things just fell into place. Ang feeling ko ganu’n lang ang mindset namin when we make movies.
“We just want to have fun. The project should excite us and challenge us. Stars will align and the public will feel our passion to make a quality film,” aniya.

Patuloy pa ng blockbuster director, “Hopefully, ‘Nokturno’ will make it to this year’s film fest,” said Red. “In our films, the one that importantly matters to me is the distribution. I want it to be seen and shown even beyond the Philippines. So we’ll see.
“We don’t want to stick to a certain genre but we were very happy with the success of ‘Deleter.’ We just want to make projects that excite us and challenge us, as well as the cast. We don’t want to be very escapist. We always want to expand our craft as filmmakers,” dugtong pa niya.
Para naman kay Nadine, isang blessing kapag nakapasok sila uli sa MMFF 2023 at hindi niya iniisip na isang bakbakan o rambulan ng mga Pinoy movies at celebrities ang yearly December film festival.

“I think if anything, I’m really grateful there’s MMFF again. For me, the MMFF is not really a competition. It’s more of the Filipino filmmakers coming together and putting out their films for everybody to watch.
“Masaya na ako kung makapasok lang ang ‘Nokturno’ to this year’s film fest, at least, marami ulit makakapanood ng pelikula namin. I don’t see it as a competition. Happy na kami na mapanood ang pelikula namin,” sabi ng award-winning actress.
Excited much na rin daw siya sa pagsisimula ng kanilang shooting for “Nokturno”, “I didn’t have second thoughts when I learned about ‘Nokturno’. This is the kind of project that I want to make.
“I’m a huge horror fan and I like watching horror films. Of course, Direk Mik (Red) ‘yan. I really love working with his whole team,” dagdag ni Nadine.
Sey pa niya, “I’m the kind of person who makes it a point to surpass my performance in my last film with the new one I’m making. It’s just me. Inspiring in a way that ‘Deleter’ was my second project in the pandemic.
“The universe is merely proving to me that I’m going the right way. I’m really excited for ‘Nokturno.’
“I’m really just hoping that the viewing habit changes. I’m happy that tradition for a very long time continues every time there’s MMFF and a lot of people watch the good movies. I’m really hoping that even if it’s not MMFF season, Filipinos will watch local films,” sey ng aktres.
Kasama rin sa “Nokturno” sina Bea Binene, Eula Valdez, Wilbert Ross, at ang child star na si JJ Quilantang.
