Ang Diyaryong Pinagkakatiwalaan
FROM Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures and starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, “A Minecraft Movie,” directed by Jared Hess, is the first-ever big screen, live-action adaptation of Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time.
The film also stars Emma Myers (“Wednesday”), Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks (“The Color Purple”), Sebastian Eugene Hansen (“Just Mercy, “Lisey’s Story”), with Jennifer Coolidge.
Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.
Oscar nominee Hess (“Ninety-Five Senses,” “Nacho Libre”) directed, with Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Jason Momoa, Jill Messick, Torfi Frans Olafsson and Vu Bui producing, and Todd Hallowell, Kayleen Walters, Brian Mendoza, Jonathan Spaihts, Pete Chiappetta, Andrew Lary and Anthony Tittanegro executive producing.

Si Nanay Cristy mismo ang nagkuwento ng naging pag-uusap nila ng kontrobersyal na direktor.
Sagot naman niya, “Sabi ko, talagang tatanggihan ni Boss Vic Del Rosario ‘yan dahil ang kanyang pakikipagkaibigan sa Tito, Vic, and Joey ay malalim pa sa alam mo.
“Ang singing at recording career ng Tito, Vic, and Joey ay nagsimula sa Vicor (Music) kay Boss Vic.
“Hindi niya talaga papayagang siya pa ang maging dahilan para mai-produce at lumabas itong pelikulang ito.”
Dahil dito hindi na niya suportado ang bagong pelikula na ginagawa ng direktor, dahil nakakawalang respeto.
“Ako ang tingin ko kay Direk Daryll Yap ay isang witty director. Natutuwa ako sa kanyang mga atake paminsan-minsan. Pero this time, hindi mo ako kasama sa gusto mong palabasin.
“Ano ang gusto mo, Direk Darryl? Ang wasakin si Bossing Vic Sotto dahil sa tagumpay ng ‘The Kingdom’? Ang wasakin din ang nalalapit na pagkandidato ni dating Senate President Tito Sotto, kaya mo ito pinalulutang.
“Gusto ko ring wasakin ang imahe ni Joey de Leon, ano ang gusto mong palabasin dito, ” matapang na pahayag ni ‘Nay Cristy.
Dagdag pa niya, “Ikaw pa siguro ang isa sa pinakahuli na maaaring maglatag ng kuwento ni Pepsi Paloma. Kahit pa magkababayan kayo sa Olongapo, wala kang alam. Anong sabi ko sa ‘yo? Bakit kailangan mo pa itong gawin? Ano ang iyong layunin?
“Ang sagot niya, kasi pinag-usapan, pero ang tanong, pinaniwalaan ba?”
Sabi pa ni ’Nay Cristy, “Meron tayong tinatawag na respeto sa ating kapuwa. Dapat nando’n pa rin ‘yon. Hindi nawawala.
“Matindi ito, ewan ko kung paano ito tatanggapin ni Bossing Vic, puwedeng makawasak sa kanyang pangalan kung paniniwalaan.”
Sa Facebook post naman ni Direk Darryl, inamin niya na hindi ang Viva Films ang producer ng “The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma”. Wala rin daw koneksyon ang pamilya Jalosjos at ang kalaban sa politika ni Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto sa kanyang pelikula.
Paglilinaw niya a kanyang post, “Ang THE RAPISTS OF PEPSI PALOMA ay hindi produced ng mga Jalosjos (Kaaway ng TVJ) o ng mga Discaya (Kalaban ni Vico).
“Hindi ako padidikta sa pelikulang pangarap gawin ng bawat Batang Gapo, hindi pulitikal ang pelikulang tungkol sa kababayan ko.
“Wala akong pake sa mga drama nila.
“Pero kung pakiramdam nila eh pabor sa kanila ang paglalahad ko ng buong kwento—at gusto nila akong bigyan ng pera—SINO BA NAMAN AKO PARA TUMANGGI?!
“Hindi ako mapagmalaking tao.
“Hindi ako mapride.”
“Tag nyo nga,” pahayag pa ni Direk Darryl.”
Mahaba-haba pa ang usaping ito, na siguradong marami ang patuloy na masasangkot.
