Sons Of Mother Lily And Boss Vic Team Up To Do The Kind Of Movies Their Parents Won'T Do

THE SON OF Mother Lily of Regal, Dondon Monteverde, and the son of Boss Vic of Viva, Vincent del Rosario, have signed a contract to be business partners. Dondon’s Reality Entertainment will do five movies with Viva and their first project is a sex-drama, “Rigodon”, to be helmed by Erik Matti. This is about a love triangle with Maxine Eigenmann (daughter of Mark Gil and sister of Sid Lucero) as the wife, John James Uy as the husband and new Viva sex kitten, Yam Concepcion, as the other woman.

“It’ll be told from the differing points of view of the three characters on how they regard love, lust and marriage,” says Direk Erik, who promises to make it very sexy then try to enter it in international film festivals. “We sent the script first to Mark Gil to make sure his daughter has his permission to do the sexy scenes in it and he said it’s okay. The three stars already underwent character development and sensuality workshops for them to know what’s expected of them during the actual shoot.”

Their next movie is a horror flick, “Pagpag”, with Mark Anthony Fernandez, Claudine Barretto and Heart Evangelista, to be helmed by Topel Lee. They want to start shooting it by the end of March.

“We will be doing the kind of projects our parents can’t do,” says Dondon.

How long did it take them to decide to work together? “Not very long. Everything just got synchronized on the right time in choosing the kind or projects we want to. Now, we’re synergizing our resources.”
How did their more famous producer parents feel about it? “They’re very open, very supportive,” says Vincent. “Okay sa kanila and we’re all excited about the partnership.”

For Reality Entertainment, Dondon has finished principal photography of “Tiktik, The Aswang Chronicles” starring Dingdong Dantes and Lovi Poe. They’re now busy with its post-production. “It’ll take a year to finish the post-production due to the CGI work involved. It’s like ‘300’ and ‘Speed Racer’, shot on a green screen and everything is added in through computers. We now have the technology for it here.”
