Sukob: Shockfest at its Best!
Star Cinema's latest offering, Sukob has already given viewers the creeps through its shocking trailer. Topbilled by two of the country's well-loved actresses, Kris Aquino and Claudine Baretto and directed by cinema legend Chito Rono, Sukob definitely has the makings of a box office hit.
After the groundbreaking success of "Feng Shui", Chito Rono is back in his element as he tries to put a different twist with Sukob. "I wanted to do something very Urban Legend but at the same time Asian 'yung dating. So ginawa ko 'yung Feng Shui. After Feng Shui inisip ko kung ano ang magandang gawin (as a) follow up cause there was a request na gumawa daw kami ulit ng Kris ng ganoong klase ng pelikula…kaya lang ang challenge sa 'kin ngayon is to do a film that is more Filipino. Inherently Pinoy talaga," Rono adds, "ang pinaka-pure talaga na Pilipinong pamahiin ay Sukob – it's neither Asian, Oriental [nor is it] Catholic, Christian, Muslim or Hindu."
With his masterpiece in the works, Direk Chito Rono – who's known for his incredible taste and meticulous eye for detail made sure that everything's at par with the standards that he's trying to set. Research was a big part of the conceptualization of the film. This made him very particular to the accuracy of his film. "Ang Sukob kasi was really part of Filipino (culture). Before nagkaroon ng Pilipinas sinusundan na nila talaga itong paniniwalang ito…if you do not follow (this belief), may consequences na dumadating."
Another reason why Direk Chito's very proud of Sukob is because of his two main actresses, Kris and Claudine. "Siguro pinagpala. 'Pag napanood mo 'yung pelikula, mas maappreciate mo kung gaano si Kris kadaldal, ka-expressive. 'Eto namang isa napaka-reserved, misteryosa. 'Di mo alam kung anong sinasabi ng mata niya so it really worked for me." He adds that Star Cinema's also very pleased with the film's outcome especially it's casting, "I'm very happy that everything fell into place, parang it was meant to be."
He certainly cannot contain his excitement over his latest film – which aims to shock audiences out of their seats. Witness Sukob's intriguing tale on its premiere night on July 25. Regular screening will start on July 26 in theaters nationwide.
