Filipino-Canadian actor Manny Jacinto from Disney’s upcoming Freakier Friday is coming to Manila for the movie’s red carpet premiere on August 5.
The actor, who rose to fame with his role in the TV series The Good Place and then went to appear in other acclaimed shows like The Good Doctor, Nine Perfect Strangers, and The Acolyte, joins the cast as Eric Reyes, a single parent and successful chef who owns a restaurant, and is the love interest of Anna (Lindsay Lohan).
Ahead of the movie’s nationwide release, Jacinto will visit the Philippines to make an appearance at the premiere to be held at the SM Mall of Asia Main Atrium where fans can get the chance to attend and see the movie first.
In the film, Curtis and Lohan reprise their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman. The story picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured an identity crisis. Anna now has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter as she prepares to get married to Eric. As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.
Freakier Friday is directed by Nisha Ganatra and based on the book Freaky Friday by Mary Rodgers. The film, which also stars Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Manny Jacinto, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Rosalind Chao, Chad Michael Murray, Vanessa Bayer, and Mark Harmon, is produced by Kristin Burr, p.g.a., Andrew Gunn, p.g.a., and Jamie Lee Curtis, with Nathan Kelly, Ann Marie Sanderlin, and Lindsay Lohan serving as executive producers.
This event is made possible by Globe Telecom, and its mall and cinema partners, SM Mall of Asia and SM Cinema.
