Dolly De Leon Sets Serial Killer Series Role as Philippines Producer CreaZion Studios Builds Film Slate

Dolly De Leon, who rocked the Cannes Film Festival two years ago in “Triangle of Sadness,” has joined the cast of “Severino: The First Serial Killer,” an upcoming series from Philippines outfit CreaZion Studios.

While “Severino” is the highest profile project, the producer is building a larger slate of feature films.

“Severino” De Leon is a large-scale period thriller series, chronicling the tale of Catholic priest Severino Mallari, who killed 57 people during the Spanish colonization era of the country. Producers RJ Agustin and Real Florido have tapped Yam Laranas known for his horror films “The Echo” and “The Road” as series director. The cast also includes Dennis Trillo as Severino and Chai Fonacier. Production is scheduled for August.

Florido is set as director and working with producer Kristine De Leon on development of “The Fantabulous Badingger-Z,” a rotoscope animation movie adapted from the comic book “Badingger-Z and the Accla Assassin.” The story involves a timid teenager, wearied by bullying at a military campus, who stumbles upon a mysterious particle in the woods that transforms him into a superhuman and the indispensable defender against cyborg attackers and the enigmatic mastermind behind the chaos.

Kristine De Leon produced short film “Radikals” which is in this year’s Critics Week. Also producing is Carl Papa, who previously produced animation movie “Iti Mapukpukaw,” the Philippine’s latest official entry to the Oscars.

In a separate development, CreaZion has teamed with French producer Frank Priot of Ghost City Films and Avid Liongoreng of Rocket Sheep for“Zsa Zsa Zaturnah Ze Movee,” an internationally co-produced animation film that is now in production.

The story sees a lonely gay man in Manila take his beauty parlor and his niece, to the provinces to start a new life. One night, while singing in the shower, he is hit on the head by a strange meteorite. The cosmic encounter transforms him into a sexy superheroine.

“Zaturnah” previously received support from South Korea’s BiFan, Philippine’s ICOF and Switzerland’s Vision Sud Est. It was also pitched at the Venice Bridge, Locarno, BiFan and TAICCA project market events.

Now in post-production, “Everything about My Wife,” is a Philippines’ adaptation of Argentine romantic comedy “Un Novio Para Mi Mujer.” It will star Dennis Trillo, Jennylyn Mercado (“Rosario,” “English only Please”) and Sam Milby (“No Other Woman”).

“Everything” sees a man trapped in a loveless marriage adopt an unconventional solution. He enlists the help of the town’s Casanova to seduce his wife, hoping to free himself from her constant complaining.

The firm’s “Ghost Party” horror film sees a woman return to her provincial home-town and discover that the residents are playing a deadly game that is killing members of the community.
The film, which heads into production in July, is directed by Chito Roño from a script by Enrico Santos, author of “Rewind,” The Philippines’ highest grossing movie. Roño also has box office form, with hits including “Feng Shui” and “Sukob.”
