John Lloyd Cruz wants to make it clear that his appearance in the film Culion is only a cameo, just in case the recently released trailer of the movie led audiences to expect more— the actor himself told ANCX Tuesday evening.
Cruz’s face showing up at the end of the trailer of the new indie film, written by Ricky Lee and directed by Alvin Yapan, sparked many enthusiastic reports online announcing the actor’s return to the movies.
The excitement over a comeback film is understandable; it’s been two years since his last big screen project, Finally Found Someone, came out in theaters — and for some time it did seem like Cruz didn’t have any more interest in reviving his acting career. And then the Culion trailer came.
But the actor didn’t want to give his followers the wrong idea. Cruz said he really only appears in one scene in Culion. “I thought including me in the teaser was preemptive. It was the opposite of what I actually requested and agreed on,” the actor told ANCX in an SMS message.
“But as much as I am drawn to the idea of letting my work, of any kind, have its own life and take its own course in terms of output (unmindful of how it mutates, grows and sometimes gets diminished) I am also wary of misleading an audience," continued Cruz. "That wouldn’t be fair. Hence, I felt compelled to clarify my participation in the film.”
Culion is a period piece set in the once popular leper colony of the same name. It stars Iza Calzado, Meryl Soriano and Jasmine Curtis-Smith. The film has been submitted for consideration to this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival. The trailer was released Monday, September 30, alarming Cruz who is currently out of the country.
Tested the waters. Kaso mukhang waley.
ReplyDeletePero sa huli nga nilagay eh. Tipong ekstra lang talaga. Hinahanap itong si JL okay din eh
DeleteLaging hinahanap si JL, hindi nawawalan ng balita sa kanya. Sa lahat ng nawala, siya lang un hinahanap.
DeleteGood for him to clarify the matter before the movie is released so moviegoers won't cry foul na cameo lang pala siya sa movie. Nevertheless, the movie still looks interesting.
DeleteWary of misleading the audience????? E yun nga ang work ng mga actor to mislead the audience!!!! Puro FANTASY rom-com mga pelikula niya kaya nga MALAKI MGA KINITA!!!!
Delete732 thats not his point. He is wary of misleading an audience who might watch the movie thinking he has a bigger role.
Delete7:32 di mo na nagets point ni JLC, wala ka pang point.
DeleteHindi naman ako manonood nito kasi di ko na gusto si JLC. Pero tama naman siya, misleading sa mga fanneys niya ang trailer. Akala nila mapapanood nila si JLC ulit, eh baka split second lang siya sa movie.
DeleteOk lang yan 8:16 ndi karin naman nya gusto
Delete2:05 LOL ang lame naman ng comeback. let me guess, isa ka sa mga fanney? Obviously di ko kelangan si JLC na gustuhin ako.š Baka siya ang may kelangan na gustuhin pa siya ng mga tao, at slightly nagbabalik showbiz kahit sinuka na niya dati
DeleteUuyy umaasa pang may magugulat sa mga appearances nya.
ReplyDeleteMarami nga kami.
DeleteJohn lloyd is john lloyd iba talaga ang talent niya magaling na artista
DeleteBakit di aasa, JLC is a brilliant actor. He is one of the best if not the BEST actor of his generation.
DeleteMarami pa rin fans si Lloydie. Di kumo ayaw mo sa kanya ganun ang lahat.
Delete1 na ako sa mga umaasa. can’t wait for his comeback movie man or tv
DeleteYup, 1:04. I am one of those umaasa at magugulat sa appearance niya.
DeleteEwan d naman ako manonood
DeleteAno bang ieexpect mo kay alvin yapan, eh game nga yan na may patayin na aso for "art"
ReplyDeleteIto ba yung pumatay ng aso sa Oro?? Ay! Hindi ko to support!
Delete8:41 Siya nga. Buti nga namention siya dito kasi interested pa naman ako sa movie. Eh wag na lang. Never ako susupport sa mga projects nian after nung dog cruelty sa last movie niya
DeleteWala na, bagsak na ulit ang interest ng mga tao. But he has the right to air his side. And tama, medyo misleading. Really thought this was a comeback.
ReplyDeleteSame. Akala ko rin comeback movie niya.
DeleteI get his point but maybe, just maybe including him to the trailer would spark the viewer’s interest and curiousity hence, point is to sell the film. Maybe his part though a cameo is that important kaya siya nasa trailer. Parang tulong niya na din sana sa creative team, sa director and producer considering the fact na kesyo cameo he is still part pf the film. Naging nega and user tuloy ang dating ng team and the movie dahil sa statement niya. Can’t help not to compare him with much more veteran stars like, example (example lang not name dragging ha) sina Richard Gomez at Dawn Zulueta, nag cameo dati sa movie nina Kath and Daniel (She’s Dating the Gangster) partida wala sila sa trailer at mallshows ha, but if you were able to see the whole film, sa kanila umikot ang story. Never naman sila nag reklamo at nag pa interview, yung dalawa di hamak na mas beterano pa kay JLC. Ka umay din si Kuya. Mag hiatus ka dyan hangga’t gusto mo.
ReplyDeleteBaka naman hindi na nagpabayad si JL don at usapan eh huwag na ipalabas sa trailer un eksena niya. Tutal ekstra lang naman. Pang gulat na lang sa manonood. Kaso di nasunod. At FYI hindi cameo si Dawn at Richard don sa KN movie, supporting cast sila. Hindi ekstra.
Delete1:18, deception, do you know what that means? JLC has a cameo role but they made It look like he has a major role in the movie to draw interest. That's deception, plain and simple. They have Used him for their interest and for their cheap promo.
DeleteU can't compare richard and dawn situation to this one coz d di naman sila nilagay sa trailer. JL's scene inclusion in the trailer is really misleading - a mktg ploy.
Deletekahit saan basher talaga tong keyen,walang pinipili
DeleteI hope makapasok pa rin sa mmff kc quality film nmn sya.. Good actors mga gumanap at maganda yong story..
DeleteHiw low can they go. People will really get pissed if he just has a cameo and they were expecting a bigger role
ReplyDeleteNilinaw ng producer na cameo c John Lloyd napanood q sa interview.
DeleteAng Indie film hindi uso yong suspense na guest gaya ng mainstream.Inilalagay nila sa trailer yong mukha ng actors..At yong cameo role nya plays an important part sa movie..
John Lloyd kc kaya pinag usapan.
Hahahahaha...cameo lang pala e. One scene lang pero ginawang big deal. Kaloka naman yan. That’s fooling your audience. Shamless.
ReplyDeleteAyan nagalit na si lolo.
ReplyDeleteHe has a point.
DeleteOh I seee, so he was fooled by the producers who are trying to fool the audience. That’s foolish.
ReplyDeleteYikes, isn’t that breach of contract from the producers of the film. They didn’t do what they agreed on.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha.......they are using him to promote the movie kasi. Ayaw niya e.
ReplyDeleteOo. Kasi hindi naman niya talaga movie yon eh
Deleteeh di sana di na lang sya nag cameo! parang di nya pa alam ang kalakaran ng showbiz! since he ‘was’ a big star the producers will always use him to promote their movie..nothing wrong w/ it kung gusto nya tumulong sa mga kakilala nya..nag inarte pa itong kalbo na to!
Deleteyun na nga eh, "tumulong"na nga, siya pa masama ngayon na umaangal siya, eh pano pag madami manuod tapos high expectation sa kanya because of that teaser siya ang dudumugin kasi in a way nag connive siya sa panloloko if di niya nilinaw early on, buti na rin sinabi niya.
DeleteJohn Lloyd is not new to showbiz nong inalok sya sa role pumayag sya,kilala nya yong producer. So alam na nya beforehand na may mangyayari na ganyan..
Delete2:35 nothing wrong with deception? My dear... use your brain. There’s a thin line between ‘promo’ and just plain deception.
DeleteUsually Naman kase pag cameo Lang wala sa trailer Diba? Pano Kung magalit Yun mga tao kase isipin movie nya yun..lalo na mga fans nya na nagexpect na kanya Yun..Yun Pala cameo Lang sya
DeletePag cameo lang hindi sinasama sa trailer. Deception yun. Sayang ang pera nung mga taong manunuod dahil akala nila malaki role ni JLC.
DeleteIpinaliwanag nmn ng producer ng movie na pumayag sya mag cameo..nasa hulihan nga sya ng teaser ng movie.
ReplyDeleteTama si JLC to speak up. Nanloloko yung direktor na dati pumatay ng aso sa pelikula niya. Btw, Ano na bang naging parusa niya doon?
ReplyDeleteIt's not the director to blame.
DeleteThe director must have learned his lesson.
Different story to wag iconnect yong past..
11:53 direk ikaw ba yan?
DeleteAnong not the director to blame ka dian, eh siya ang may authority kung tutuloy o hindi ang shoot. So kinakatay na yung aso, anong ginawa, ayun kasama sa movie. š¤¬
Hindi na mawawala sa history niya yan kahit pa ayaw mo na iconnect.
OMG! Is that the director who had a dog killed in one of his movies? No way will I ever support that jerk. Sorry Iza Calzado, I love you as an actor, but I cannot watch that movie of yours. How can you associate yourself with that dog killer of a director????
DeleteGinamit si JL para pagusapan ang movie. Aminin natin wala naman following ang mga bida sa movie na yan.
ReplyDeletepati sa pagrelease ng statement projecting to be an artist pa rin. Always may extra effort to sound smart.
ReplyDeletegrabe! nag-clarify lang yung tao so that people will not be mislead by what the trailer seemed to convey, "projecting to be an artist...extra effort to sound smart" na dating. 'yan tayo eh, lahat na lang may criticism/judgment tayo kahit sa hindi naman dapat.
DeleteNothing wrong sa taong gustong iimprove ang sarili at maging smart. And yes, he is an artistš
DeleteWhats wrong with him being a smart artist? Artist naman talaga siya na smart sa trabaho niya bawat papel pinag aralan niya
DeleteHaist, ang yabang naman neto. Wag mo na pakelamanan ang gusto isipin ng tao JLC. Basta makita ka knila masaya na sila eh. Kasi namiss ka nila. As if nman may atakihin sa puso kung inakalang un lang talaga ang scene mo na un. Ano ka hilo?
ReplyDeleteSmall minded people like you won’t really get it.
Delete4:00 kaw yta mayabang e. Kung anu anu ina-assume mo
DeletePero aminin nating lahat..mata palang ni JL may kwento may damdamin at may sarili ng emosyon doon sa iisang picture nya nsramdaman ko yung mga tingin nya kahit ano pa ang sabihin ng mga tao magaling syang artista sana hindi nya nakakalimutan yun
ReplyDeleteReklamo pa siya e bayad naman siya dyan, kahit saan tingnan ay bayad siya sa film na yan kahit cameo or main role.
ReplyDeleteHindi porket bayad siya pwede ng walang rules, malay mo sa usapan nila ay hindi siya isasali sa trailer, at bayad lang naman jan ay pa thank you pag sa indie, swerte na ng producer kung pumayag ang isang di kalibreng actor tulad ni jl
Delete7:15, mukhang ikaw ang nangangailangan sa comments mo. Mayaman si JLC, hindi importante sa kanya ang bayad. Maraming celebrities na sikat na may cameo para makatulong lang. In JLC's case, isinama siya sa trailer, implying that he has a bigger role which is plain deception.
Delete7:15 ndi yan ang point. Basahin mo ulit.
DeleteTama lang si JLC. Very misleading sa trailer eh. Dapat hindi ganon kase matatalino naman ang viewers lalo na kapag napanood na buong movie. Sa 1st day lang sila bebenta pero pagtagal waley na kapag nalaman na cameo lang si JLC. Kung sya yung direktor na pumatay ng aso, dapat hindi yan makapasok sa MMFF!!
ReplyDeleteTrue,matatalino na ngayon ang moviegoers.. Kaya alam nila yan na guest role lng sya. Kasi kung lead actor sya malamang nasa unahan sya ng trailer kaso nasa dulo ng trailer..
DeleteKaya nong napanood q, Inisip q agad cameo sya..
Grabe til now feeling important si kuya! Dapat talaga dyan tinatanggalan ng kahit anong ilaw ito eh! Pampam na
ReplyDeleteHe is important hindi siya naka rating sa kinalalagyan nya ng walang hirap at ilang taong trabaho sa craft niya, pam pam tawag mo sa taong may prinsipyo? His achievements was made thru years and years of hardwork
DeleteIsa ako sa manunuod sana bevause akala ko malaki role niya. Tama lang ginawa niya!
DeleteHindi siya feeling important. Tinatama lang niya ang mali. He is included in the trailer when he only has a cameo role. Amoy na amoy ang gamitan issue.
Delete10:12, like most posters' comments, matatalino na ngayon ang moviegoers and they know he only has a cameo in one scene but included him in the trailer. Mukhang ikaw, hindi mo naintindihan.
DeleteEextra extra...tas kapag binigyan ng kaunting pagpuna..rereklamo pa! JLC ano ba talaga trip mo..parang kahit san ka mapunta di ka masaya
ReplyDeleteIniisip niya na nga yung audience siya pa ang masama para sayo
DeleteCameo, Hindi extra. Learn to know the difference.
Delete10:13 Ndi nga daw un ang usapan e. Read again
Delete10:13 humirit ka nanaman. Ndi nga un ang usapan at cameo lang sya. Misleading nga sa audience.
Deletethis guy’s got serious issues..di nito nakikita kahit anong blessings na dumadating sa buhay niya..lahat tinatapon ni boy gasul
ReplyDeleteHow do u know that? Wag k nman mag-assume
DeleteAnong conection nyan? At super close ba kayo na alam mong ndi nya nakkita blessings sa buhay nya?
DeletePayag ka ng payag sa umekstra, pag nadamay name mo..galit ka! Gulooo
ReplyDeleteD nga daw yun yung napag usapan nila na isama sya s trailer na ganun. Pero wala eh they broke their word. Hassle nga naman dn yun kay JL.
Delete10:16, the word is not extra. Cameo role ang tawag. Maraming sikat na celebrities ang nag cameo including Ms Charo Santos. Don't twist the story unless you really did not comprehend.
DeleteDirector ng culion pinatay yung aso for real sa movie
DeleteExtra is for non-celebs - cameo is for celebrities 10:16.
DeleteAnd may point naman si JLC, that single scene is being used for marketing - which is not within the bounds of what they agreed on. So tama lang na pumalag sya.
Grabe naman mga nega dito. Hindi ba pwedeng JLC is just clarifying to give credit to the main stars of this film? Sila dapat ang focus, hindi siya.
ReplyDeleteHit on the spot. Korek ka, pero Hindi Kasi mawawala ang gamitan issue.
DeleteMay mga galit lng sa mundo. Ewan ko kung ba't dito pa nagvvent.
DeleteKunwari pa itong si JL, gusto mo lang din umingay pangalan mo. Nagagalit kuno eh publicity parin yan sa movie.
ReplyDeleteDi mo gets? Basa uli
DeleteLost in translation si 4:46.
DeleteHay naku, shut up ka na lang Loyde, it’s not your movie anyway.
ReplyDeleteComprehension baks
Deleteui, kagabi lang sabi ng mother ko may movie daw si JLC. I told her baka yung kay bea na Last Chance nakita ko sa IG ni bea,nilagyan lang ng Turks ung caption. hindi daw, horror film daw ni JLC. need to tell her maya na cameo lang pala.baka magexpect.
ReplyDeleteEhhh... Hollywood do this all the time:make misleading trailers to fool and draw audiences. They even shoot scenes for the trailer itself
ReplyDeleteThat doesn’t make it right, lol. Kaloka ka.
DeleteAnd it's wrong. Misleading talaga
DeleteEpal na jlc! Pasalamat ka nga nababalita ka pa!
ReplyDeleteEpal mo din. Di ka nagbasa. Intindihin mo issue.
