Frank Marshall considers the Philippines 'the most production-friendly country' he has ever visited

MANILA, Philippines – Hollywood producers Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley are all praises for the Pinoy hospitality accorded them while shooting their latest movie “The Bourne Legacy.”

“Nagpapasalamat ang dalawa sa pambihirang pakikisama ng mga Pinoy. Ang mainit na pagtanggap ng mga Pinoy ang dahilan kung bakit napili ang bansa bilang location shoot kaysa sa ibang bansa sa Asya,” Ginger Conejero reported on “TV Patrol,” Jan. 17.

“They’re having a great time. They’re very comfortable where we’re shooting. I always find it funny when we arrive in the morning and all the kids say, ‘Hi, Pat!’ This is the most production-friendly country that we have visited,” Marshall said.

Among the movies the tandem of Marshall and Crowley produced in the past were “Raiders of the Lost Ark” of the “Indiana Jones” series, “The Sixth Sense,” “Sleepless in Seattle” and “Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.”

“Pagtitiyak nila, mapapahanga ang lahat sa action stunts ng pelikula,” Conejero reported.

But, Crowly stressed in a presscon tendered for the Hollywood producers, “We’re not going to tell you at all what the action sequences are going to be like but you will have never seen the things that we are doing.”

Marshall and Crowley are asking the public to understand why “The Bourne Legacy” stars Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz did not attend the press conference.

“Pero enjoy daw ang mga bida sa kulturang Pinoy,” Conejero informed.

“Posible raw magkakaroon din ng red carpet premiere sa Pilipinas ang pelikula.”
