Column: Check It Out AFTER his first Hollywood film, “The Echo,” director Yam Laranas is back in the local scene with “Patient X” which stars Richard Gutierrez and Cristine Reyes.
It is no surprise that direk Yam wanted to work again with Richard who was his lead actor in “Sigaw,” the film that brought him to Hollywood. “The Echo” is now showing in local theaters, and we urge people to watch it before it's gone. We feel so proud that a Filipino director is at the helm of a Hollywood movie, starring one of the most-sought-after Hollywood actors, Jesse Bradford (he was also in a remake of another Asian hit, My Sassy Girl) and one of the most beautiful actresses, Amelia Warner (who, if you still don't know was Colin Farrel's first wife —her nickname Millie still tattooed on his left ring finger).
Now, with “Patient X” (which will be released October 28), direk Yam puts to good use what he learned from Hollywood. We learned that the movie will be entered in a foreign competition and will have a premiere night in Hawaii simultaneously in SM Manila on October 25.
Meanwhile, Cristine looked so beautiful in the film (in the early part, at least). We won't be surprised if in direk Yam's next Hollywood outing, he will have her (Cristine) star in it, after giving that big break to Iza Calzado in “The Echo.” MICHAEL V IS BACK AFTER Bitoy's Funniest Videos bowed out, here comes a wacky, worldwide comedy search, “ShowwwTime” every Saturday night on GMA7.
