DOMINIC ROQUE is more senior than Ronnie Alonte but it’s Alonte who plays the lead role in the Metro Manila Filmfest horror entry, “Seklusyon”. How does Dom feel about this? “”Okay lang naman kasi when they offered the movie to us, alam na namin what roles we’ll play,” he says. “So from the start, we all know nina JohnVic de Guzman and JR Versales na mas angat ang role ni Ronnie kaysa sa amin. But lahat kami, may kanya-kanyang highlight.”
We heard his highlight is a love scene with newcomer Phoebe Walker, who plays a nun, and he has butt exposure. “Yes, yun na ang pinakamalalang ginawa ko mula nang pumasok ako sa acting. Kontrobersyal yung love scene kasi nga madre siya, ako naman is a deacon, magpapari who’s being tempted by the devil ara hindi ako matuloy sa pagpapari ko.”
So he’s ready to play daring roles? “Okay lang naman. We consulted my managers sa Star Magic. Inexplain naman sa’kin ang importance nung love scene sa movie at okay lang. I trusted Direk Erik Matti who’s an acclaimed director. Mahirap gawin yung eksena. Nag-usap muna kami ni Phoebe so we’d be comfortable with each other. Paulit-ulit, maraming takes, nakakapagod, buti okay naman daw lumabas. But it doesn’t mean na puro pagpapa-sexy na ang gagawin ko. Parang subok-subok muna ito and we want to hear the feedback. Sabi nila, makinis naman daw ang puwet ko at baka matanggal daw sa local version kapag hindi inaprub ng MTRCB. Pero sa international version shown in Macau Hidden Dragons sec tion, kasama yun. As for me, okay lang namang makita yung ng lahat ng viewers.”
