Solenn, Benjamin go all the way in 'Misterio De La Noche'

-


Filipino-French star Solenn Heussaff and actor Benjamin Alves went daring in the horror-fantasy-drama "Misterio De La Noche," an entry to the Cinemalaya 2019 film festival at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP).

"Misterio De La Noche" is a period horror-drama flick that tackles the first reported mananaggal in the countryside.

Scenes showed Solenn in nude as she portrays the role of an 18-year-old lass who falls in love with Benjamin during an encounter in the forest.

Solenn transforms into a ghastly creature after her love affair with Benjamin went wrong.

Both stars said that by far, "Misterio" is the most difficult movie they have done.

Asked how she was convinced to go naked on screen, Solenn laughed and said: "I'm French. I have no inhibitions."

"Napakaliit lang ng part ng nudity doon. It's the story which requires us to be emotional," said Benjamin during an informal press conference after the movie premier at the CCP Little Theater over the weekend.

Solenn said that the most difficult part of the movie was pretending she was "eating the babies."

"You have to do it na parang tutoo. And then I get to kill people rin. And then we have to shoot in the forest for days. That's difficult," she added. 

Pageant guru Jonas Gaffud, creative and events director for Miss Universe Philippines and one of the producers of the film, said it was director Adolfo Borinaga Alix Jr. who convinced the two stars to do the movie. 

Gaffud also said that he doesn't have any idea how the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board will take the pumping and masturbation scenes once the film goes on regular showing. "We will see."

In July, "Misterio" made its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, Canada.

"Ibang-iba ang crowd reactions ng mga Canadians at Filipinos sa ganitong klaseng pelikula. Siguro sila (Canadians) sanay na sa ganitong genre pero tayong mga Pinoy nakakatuwa ang reaction natin," said Alix. 

About about his belief in manananggal, Benjamin said: "I believe in those creatures."

But Solenn gave a mixed reaction. "I'm having second thoughts about it. Walang kasing aswang sa France." - (ROBERŤ REQUINTINA)

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has complained about the construction of her neighbor's condominium unit, saying that it brought stress to her family.

Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
