Apart from his regular and overly-demanding schedule directing, writing and acting in ABS-CBN’s most watched primetime action series ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’, Coco Martin is teaming up with Vhong Navarro for a limited series.
Speaking exclusively with ABS-CBN News, Martin said he has been gearing up to work on a limited series for the very first time in his career. The Kapamilya leading man has dabbled into indie filmmaking, mainstream TV and movies, and now he’s ready to take on some new chores.
“May binubuo akong konsepto with Vhong Navarro. Medyo mabigat. Action, suspense drama at saka comedy. Pero sabi ko kasi, iba ang atake nang paggawa ng series, sa ibang platform kesa sa mga teleserye.”
He added that this project will be totally different from what we see on “Batang Quiapo” or his past movies. “Ito mas madugo, mas brutal, mas sagad. Dapat unexpected, dapat first episode pa lang mapakapit mo na agad ‘yung mga viewers. Kaya sabi ko, ‘yung hindi ko nagagawa sa ‘Batang Quiapo’, dito sasagarin namin ‘yan.”
Martin also said there will be a lot of surprises when it comes to casting.
“Alam ko ‘pag nagsama kami, alam ko na ‘yung iisipin ng mga tao, na action-comedy ‘yan. Hindi. Iibahin ko. Iba ang character niya (Navarro). Iba ang storya,” he said.
Martin has been eyeing this venture for quite some time now and he really wants to get into the series-in-streaming-platforms path.
Return to indie
Recently, his last two movies with indie-director and his first mentor Brillante Mendoza “Apag” and “Pula” topped Netflix Philippines’ most-watch movies.
“Pula” is a crime drama thriller that delves into faith, fanaticism and vigilante justice. He co-starred with his real-life partner Julia Montes and his friend Raymart Santiago.
“Sobra kong na-miss makatrabaho si Direk Dante (Mendoza) and anytime na kailangan niya ako okay lang. Kahit na from Ilocos na walang pahinga, diretso agad sa shooting. Natapos ko ‘yung dalawang pelikula kasi sobrang akong proud, actually pati ‘yung ‘Apag’ nag-number one sa Netflix,” Martin said.
He added: “Ang sarap balikan. Ang tagal kong nag-TV, nag-mainstream movie, ngayon lang ako ‘pag nagkakaroon ng pagkakataon bumabalik ako sa indie films. Ang sarap balikan kasi ito ‘yung time para makapagpasalamat ako kung saan ako nagmula. Sino ‘yung mga taong tumulong sa akin noong nagsisimula ako.”
