THE cameras have started to roll for “Nokturno,” the upcoming horror movie starring award-winning actress Nadine Lustre.
On Instagram, producer Evolve Studios shared a glimpse of Nadine as her character Jamie in “Nokturno.” The film is directed by Mikhail Red, who also helmed the 2022 Metro Manila Film Festival entry “Deleter” starring the actress.
Earlier, producer Viva Films also released a first look at “Nokturno,” showing Nadine with her co-stars Eula Valdes, Bea Binene, and Justin James Quilantang.
“You have no idea what’s coming. FIRST LOOK at #Nokturno Starring 2022 MMFF Best Actress and Two-time FAMAS Best Actress Nadine Lustre, 38th Gawad Urian Best Actress Eula Valdes, Wilbert Ross, and Bea Binene. From 2022 MMFF Best Director, Mikhail Red. Coming soon!” the post read.
It was in February this year when reports confirmed that Nadine and Mikhail were teaming up for another horror movie project.
The two first worked together on the box-office hit “Deleter.” The movie took home several awards at the 2022 Metro Manila Film Festival Gabi ng Parangal, including Best Picture, Best Director, and a Best Actress award for Nadine.
Set for release this 2023, “Nokturno” is described as a film about a primal and supernatural curse that haunts a rural Filipino family and the daughter who left them to live overseas.
In a statement given to ABS-CBN News — Mikhail, who is also known for his work on the critically acclaimed films Eerie and Birdshot — said “Nokturno” aims to present a Filipino story with exciting plots and imaginative ideas.
“We will take wild swings, aim for spectacle and fresh concepts, yet ground them in sustainable and feasible production. Our films aim to be accessible and exciting to the everyday Filipino audience and will have the craft, production value, and sensibilities for international export as well,” he said.
The acclaimed director is also working on a new project, “Helel,” a sci-fi spiritual horror film set in the near future about a Filipina astronaut who encounters the devil. (PUSH)
