MANILA, Philippines — Kapuso actress Gabbi Garcia shared some behind-the-scene photos of her “Prisoner of War” shoot with English actor Scott Adkins.
On her Instagram account, Gabbi called it an honor and “a true thrill” to work on the film with Scott, a celebrated action star.
“Prisoner of War” stars Scott, who also co-wrote the story, as a British pilot captured by the Japanese during World War II and is sent to an internment camp in the Philippines.
Before setting out on the now-historic Death March, Scott’s James Wright and other prisoners engage in death matches, leading to a plan for escape.
Gabbi portrays a nurse named Theresa alongside taekwondo star Pauline Lopez. Also in the film is Filipino-American director-actor Michael Copon as Gabriel Villanueva.
Michael commented on Gabbi’s post praising her participation in the film and hoped to cast her in another project having directed Danny Trejo, Bea Alonzo, Hector David Jr., Maricel Laxa, and Costas Mandylor (brother of “Prisoner of War” director Louis Mandylor) in “1521.”
The filmmaker also teased he was producing another movie this December in Silang, Cavite and and would be working on three more films next year.
Others who left congratulatory messages were Iza Calzado, Janine Gutierrez, Karen Davila, Max Collins, Ina Feleo, and Melai Cantiveros-Francisco, who joked that Scott looked like entrepreneur-content creator Nico Bolzico.
“Prisoner of War” at the Beverly Hills Film Festival last April and had a limited wide release in the United States last month.
Some of Scott’s best known action roles are “John Wick: Chapter 4,” “The Expendables 2,” “Ip Man 4: The Finale,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” and the “Undisputed” films.
