MANILA -- After appearing on the big screen alongside Hollywood heavyweights in director John Dahl’s well-remembered war film, “The Great Raid” , Cesar Montano gets another crack at international star
dom with his forthcoming movie projects.
Based on the memoir, “The Guerilla Wife,” written by World War II survivor Louise Reid Spencer, who lived in the Philippines during the Japanese occupation, “Freedom Fighters” will have Pacquiao playing Col. Macario Peralta Jr., a war hero. Montano, meanwhile, will take on the role of Rev. Delfin Dianala, a Protestant minister.
The fourth film that Inspire Studios will produce is “Open Doors,” although Montano will not be a part of the project. “The film focuses more on the Jewish families that President [Manuel] Quezon helped, as opposed to President Quezon himself,” said Ho. ‘Open Doors’ tells the other side of the story. The opposite of ‘Quezon’s Game.’”
After all the challenges that happened in his life in the last two years, Montano admitted he has a stronger faith in God now. “One day, God talked to me. He told me He gave me great talent to do films and I went out of my way to do other things. I am done with politics. I will merely support,” he said.
Montano also plans to resurrect his other personal project, “Sultan Kudarat,” which he will pursue next year. “We went to Catobato and met with the mayor there and the family of Michael Mastura, who was a descendant of Sultan Kudarat,” he offered. “I will meet again with the family and discuss the project more.”
