Actress Bea Alonzo is set to star in the feature film that seeks to showcase a love story against the backdrop of the epic clash between pre-colonial Filipinos and the Spanish forces of Ferdinand Magellan in Mactan, Cebu more than 500 years ago.
The movie “1521: The Battle of Mactan” is a collaboration between US-based Filipino producer Francis B. Lara Ho and Fil-American actor-director Michael Copon.
It will feature Copon himself as Lapu-Lapu, American actor Danny Trejo as Magellan, and Filipino actress Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan as Ahmani.
Alonzo is set to play the role of Diwata. Puerto Rican actor and Power Rangers star Hector David Jr. portrays Diwata’s love interest Enrique.
According to its producers, the film would be shot entirely in Palawan.
The historical film, produced by Inspire Studios, is set to premiere on June 12, 2023 in time for the 125th anniversary of the Philippine Independence Day.
