On The Job Starring Piolo Pascual and Gerald Anderson to Premiere at Cannes Film Festival

On The Job (OTJ) starring Piolo Pascual and Gerald Anderson will have  its world premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in May as part of the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs or the Directors' Fortnight section held independently by the French Directors Guild.

Directed by Erik Matti, On The Job is an action-drama film produced by Star Cinema and Reality Entertainment. In OTJ, Piolo portrays an NBI agent running after a hitman played by Gerald. Shaina Magdayao plays the role of Piolo's wife.

Also starring Joel Torre, Joey Marquez and Angel Aquino, On The Job is the only Filipino movie (and one of the three Asian films) in the said section that will be screened alongside 30 other films from around the world.

However, two other Filipino films will participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival. Competing at another section (Un Certain Regard) in Cannes are Death March directed by Adolfo Alix Jr. starring Sam Milby, Zanjoe Marudo, Jason Abalos, Luis Alandy and Felix Roco, and Norte, Hangganan ng Kasaysayan by acclaimed filmmaker Lav Diaz.

Sam Milby Stars in Indie Film 'Death March'

Sam Milby has started shooting for the indie movie Death March. Sam shared a photo of him on instagram showing what to expect on his character in the said film.

Death March, according to ABS-CBN News, "tells the story of its namesake -- the forcible transfer of 76,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war by the Japanese Army in 1942." This historical film about the fall of Bataan also stars Jason Abalos, Felix Roco, Luis Alandy, Zanjoe Marudo, Ejay Falcon and Carlo Aquino.

Death March is actually one of the films submitted for consideration to the 38th Metro Manila Film Festival 2012 but unfortunately, it did not make the cut along with Dante Mendoza's Thy Womb (starring Nora Aunor) which is set to compete at the 59th Venice International Film Festival at the end of the month.

Directed by Adolfo Alix Jr., Death March is expected to hit theaters later this year.
