DELETED SCENES FROM "CALL ME MOTHER"? 😲
(Warning: Spoilers ahead)
Director Jun Robles Lana bared details about scenes in "Call Me Mother" that were removed from the film's final cut.
Lana said they spent "weeks planning and an entire day shooting" the massive parkour sequence of Vice Ganda's character Twinkle as she rushed her child to the hospital.
"It was a logistical beast... It was visually spectacular... But in the end I cut it," Lana said. "While the scene worked on paper and was technically impressive, it felt tonally out of place once edited into the sequence."
He also shared other scenes that didn't make it to the final piece: Nadine Lustre's "Squid Game"-style pageant training as Mara and the PBB Collab cast's "samurai confrontation."
"Ultimately, filmmaking isn't about flexing the spectacle or showing off your technical range as a director. It’s about honoring the story above all else, even if that means leaving your most ambitious work on the cutting room floor."
The 51st MMFF Third Best Picture "Call Me Mother" is still showing in cinemas.
