"Way Of The Cross" : An Enthralling thriller-action-drama story
In a Catholic country like here, in the Philippines, if we get to here the phrase "Way Of the Cross," one would easily think that you are pertaining to our religion, which is, in a more profound way, referring to Jesus Christ's Fourteen Stations of the Cross that we commemorate yearly, during Holy Week. But when we get to talk to this upcoming film's producer/director/screenplay writer and lead actor, Anthony Diaz V, we were enlightened.
My first impression of Mr. Anthony, was that, he was a smart, English-speaking lad and with no information about him in my mind, I just thought, he's one of the cast only not until we had him interviewed... this guy had a lot to give and a real film buff! Not only he can do acting, but he can also write scripts, direct and produce a movie. He is a Fil-Am born and raised in the United States, and he gives credits to his Filipino dad, who is also an actor back in Los Angeles, California.
Anthony Diaz V during our pocket interview with him regarding his upcoming action-thriller movie,
"Way Of The Cross."
About his upcoming film, "Way Of The Cross," according to Mr. Anthony, without spoiling the whole film, it is an action-thriller, where he plays an Fil-Am FBI agent, who went home here in the Philippines to take care of some personal matters regarding his father and half-sister, until something happened in the nearby town... a series of killings or murders have been haunting the towns people and that it occurred during the Holy Week season. Because of his FBI instincts, he doesn't want to lose time in solving the series of crimes. He had also some encounters with the local police who tried to stop him. The big question is, how will he able to pursue his undaunted mission despite all the animosities he'd been experiencing while trying to resolve the serial killings?
Mr. Anthony had also shared us that he had conducted an audition to complete the cast. He doesn't actually have anyone in mind, during that time, that's why, all the actors in the said movie had undergone the process. And fortunately, he was feeling so lucky and happy with full of admiration to our Filipino actors namely Roxanne Barcelo (Maria), Daiana Menezes, Alvin Anson (Padre Luna) , Rafael Rosell (Michael, Maria's husband in the movie), Isay Alvarez whom he considers as one of the greatest actors he had worked with here in the Philippines and the other members of the cast as well.
The first part of the movie was filmed in Las Vegas and the rest was shot here in the Philippines which he recalls, a perfect location for the movie.
SYNOPSIS
Set against a small religious town in the Philippines, "WAY OF THE CROSS" follows Rogelio "Rogue" Marquez (Anthony Diaz V), a Las Vegas based Filipino American FBI agent, whose estranged father living in the Philippines, is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Rogue travels to the Philippines to visit his dying father and half sister in Manila. A string of murders occur during holy week celebrations in the nearby town of San Antonio that send waves of terror among the local town people, and stuns the NBI and its top agent. Rogue's curiosity and FBI instincts lure him into a dark cat and mouse world of religious abstracts as he attempts to uncover the motivation behind these murders in hopes to solve the mystery.
