The trailer for “Leonor Will Never Die,” a wonderfully weird homage to ‘80s Filipino action flicks, was released on Wednesday. The film follows a once-celebrated action film director named Leonor Reyes (played by Sheila Francisco) who is inspired to finish an unfinished script after seeing a newspaper advertisement for screenplays. Director Martika Ramirez Escobar’s debut feature-length film was screened at the Sundance International Film Flestival – where it was awarded the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Innovative Spirit – in January.
