“Nagalit ako nun kasi shooting lang naman ‘yan eh, hindi naman dapat patayin si Rocco.”
This was Direk Jun Urbano’s firm statement during his interview with Rocco Nacino on Unang Hirit for their upcoming indie film Ibong Adarna.
The director narrated that during one of Rocco’s fight scenes with an Ifugao warrior, he was surprised to see his actor wounded.
“'Yun pala totoong spears ‘yung gamit, tinamaan siya sa likod. Nasugat,” he said.
But for the Kapuso actor, he was able to manage the accident.
“Bumaon sa likod ko [‘yung spear]. Pero okay lang, battle scar. One good thing about being a nurse,” he quipped.
For this adaptation, Rocco will give life to the character of the sole prince. Aside from this change, his father is also a sultan, rather than a king as in the original story.
“This is adapted to Filipino culture. 'Pag binasa mo, estudyante ka, you relate with what’s happening,” Direk Urbano explained.
He also commended Rocco for being professional.
“Matagal din pero madali lang pagka shooting nito. Ang galing-galing nitong bata. Totoo lang, ang galing-galing nito. Hindi ko sinasabi ito porke’t andyan ka,” Direk Urbano emphasized.
Playing alongside Rocco is an all-star cast that includes Joel Torre, Angel Aquino, Benjie Paras, and Leo Martinez.
Ibong Adarna will hit the theaters starting October 1, 2014.
