'Sunod' stars Carmina Villaroel and Mylene Dizon under TEN17P

MANILA, Philippines —(K)ampon, starring Kris Aquino is officially out of the Metro Manila Film Festival 2019 and will be replaced by a new movie.

On Tuesday, September 3, talent manager and Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) spokesperson Noel Ferrer said Sunod will take over the slot.

The MMFF also said that the rest of the MMFF 2019 lineup will be selected from finished films. The deadline for submission is on September 20 at 5pm.

 

(K)ampon, which was supposed to star Kris Aquino, was announced as part of first 4 films in the festival. In a later statement, Kris said that the original lead actor Derek Ramsay had to bow out of the project due to his commitments with GMA 7. Derek was replaced by Gabby Concepcion. —Rappler.com
