The history of Iglesia Ni Cristo will be made into a movie set for a July 2014 release. It is titled Ang Sugo (The Last Messenger).
A presscon for the movie was held on Tuesday at the Quezon City Sports Club. It was attended by its lead stars Richard Gomez, Albert Martinez and Senator Bong Revilla.
The historical movie will feature the three generations of leaders from INC’s first Executive Minister Felix Manalo to be portrayed by Richard, second leader Eraño Manalo to be played by Albert, to the current leader Eduardo Manalo which will be played by Bong.
The three said they were honored with the role. Richard even said that it’s “a privilege to be chosen as Ka Felix Manalo.”
Albert, meanwhile, said he wanted to portray the role in detail. “Pag-aaralan ko the person, the man, the dream, the passion, lahat ng iyon,” the Princess And I actor said during the presscon.
Bong considers playing Eduardo Manalo as a challenge, and said that it won’t be the action star that people will see in him in the said movie. “Isang Ka Eduardo ang makikita nila (sa akin) sa Sugo,” he said. “Pag-aaralan natin ‘yong galaw niya, pananalita niya, mannerisms niya. Malaking hamon ito.”
Bong’s wife Congresswoman Lani Mercado will also be in the cast as well as Snooky Serna.
And will they pair the former young sweethearts Albert and Snooky?
Ang Sugo will be directed by Tikoy Aguiluz from the script written by Arlyn dela Cruz.
