Reality Entertainment and Globe Studios collaborate to produce its initial partnership to present the biggest and the scariest horror movie of the year, "Kuwaresma".
Sharon Cuneta, John Arcilla and multi awarded director, Erik Matti join forces to bring to the silver screen a horror movie of epic proportions, "Kuwaresma", presented by Globe Studios and Reality Entertainment.
Kuwaresma is Sharon's first all out horror film after being recognized as an award winning dramatic actress.
The megastar gave the project her nod notwithstanding her tight schedule mainly due to the gripping story written by Katski Flores and Erik Matti.
Her dream to work with Matti in a movie also convinced her to do "Kuwaresma" even when shooting required her to stay more than a month in Baguio City.
"The guy's is a master of cinematic language, the horror genre is unquestionably his domain. I'm so glad to comeback to my craft in this way."
"Creatively, this is one of the most rewarding, satisfying collaborations I have had. He's a director who knows what he wants, whose passion and integrity for a film will inspire your own well of creativity to keep flowing, who will not compromise his vision while allowing and protecting your own." Sharon said of Matti.
The film also marks Sharon's first team up with actor John Arcilla, who is best remembered for the blockbuster biopic "Heneral Luna".
He himself has a lot of good things to say about the brilliant director. "Film enthusiasts, the intellectuals, and people from all walks of life can surely relate to this family drama/horror film directed by master story teller Erik Matti", Arcilla said.
About Cuneta, Matti shares how she went all out for Kuwaresma. "Ang dami niyang ginawang pisikal. Emotional, sobra! 'Yung iyakan, ang dugo talaga! Ang maganda kay Sharon, mataas ang respeto niya sa mga director.Pag umoo na siya sa project, ibibigay niya ang sarili niya."
"Si John, very reliable na artista kahit saan mo itapon na role. Wala kaming maisip na iba na kakayanin ang role kundi si John dahil bida-kontrabida ang role. Wala na kasi tayong Vic Silayan, Dindo Fernando. Si John, kayang-kaya niya ang bida kontra-bida character. For the first time, napagsama nila ni Sharon. Two really big actors!" Matti added of Arcilla.
Apart from the two big stars, introducing in Kuwaresma, in their first movie, are real-life siblings Pam and Ken Gonzales.
"Nag-audition siya (Kent). Sobrang raw pero nakikita mong yung utak niya kung paano gumalaw. Unag eksena with Sharon, iyakan, pasok agad siya. Hindi siya natakot kay Sharon", Erik proudly said of the 17-year old young actor.
A mega star, a bankable actor, and two outstanding newcomers, all under the tutelage of a master director, form a powerhouse cast for a unique story about a mother willing to risk her everything to end the nightmare haunting her family.
Fresh from Reality Entertainment's blockbuster film, "Buy Buyst" in 2018, "Kuwaresma" is the first of its three ventures with Globe Studios, including Erik Matti's "On The Job 2".
Head of the Globe Studios Quark Henares says, "I'm very excited to be part of Kuwaresma as this is our first venture into horror, and I'm a major horror fan. I'm also a big Erik Matti fan and am looking forward to the first of many productions we'll be doing with him and Reality Entertainment." Henares also appeals to the public support local cinema by going to movie theaters. "Watching films in theaters is a national pastime, and that sense of community and family that movies bring is invaluable. Horror is especially fun to watch in groups, so please make sure you watch Kuwaresma with friends and family at the movies!".
"Kuwaresma" counts as Sharon's gift to her fans, followers, and supporters in celebration of her 40th year in show business.
This epic movie team up of Sharon Cuneta, Jonh Arcilla, and Erik Matti hit theaters nationwide starting May 15, 2019.
