Topel Lee's WAPAKMAN Brings Super-Heroics To The Philipines!

by Todd Brown, July 16, 2009 9:55 AM


Freshly announced as part of the lineup for the 2010 Metro Manila Film Festival, Topel Lee looks to bring the latest Filipino superhero to the screen with his Wapakman. With the film still relatively early in production - Metro Manila basically screens every Filipino film of note for the given year - details are still sketchy beyond the fact that Manny Pacquiao stars as a normal man who develops super powers and WWE star Dave Batista is in the cast, I presume as the villain. Our own Joey Fernandez has been singing Topel Lee's praises in these pages for years now and it's not hard to see why based on the short teaser that has just been released. Simple concept, stellar execution. Very nice. Find it after the break.

Oddly shows how the local elite regards that lapdog cashcow.

Batista recently headed up Manny Pacquiao's entourage to the ring during his last fight. He's been embracing his inner partial Filipino in him.

People forget that Manny Pacquiao is the pound for pound best boxer in the world right now. Glad he's taking a cinematic jab at himself.
