EXCLUSIVE: Filipino producer-distributor CreaZion Studios is unveiling a slate of film and TV productions here in Cannes, including Severino: The First Serial Killer, which has Dolly De Leon joining Dennis Trillo in the cast.
Scheduled to start shooting in September, the series tells the true story of Catholic priest Severino Mallari, who predated Jack The Ripper by killing 57 people during the Spanish colonial era of the Philippines.
Trillo is playing Severino, while De Leon will play his mother, in what looks set to be one of her darkest roles yet. Severino believed his mother was bewitched and that he could cure her condition by killing people.
Yam Laranas, known for horror films The Echo and The Road, is directing the series, which has been scripted by Dodo Dayao (Cattleya Killer), Rona Co (Hello, Love, Goodbye) and Rody Vera (Die Beautiful).
De Leon has been working between the US and the Philippines since her Golden Globes and BAFTA-nominated role in Cannes Palme d’Or winner Triangle Of Sadness. She recently filmed with Nicole Kidman on the second season of Nine Perfect Strangers in Germany. Trillo and De Leon previously starred together in Erik Matti’s On The Job 2: The Missing Eight.
Trillo also stars in CreaZion Studios’ Everything About My Wife, a Filipino remake of Argentinian hit Un Novio Para Mi Mujer, which is in post-production for a late 2024 release.
Jennylyn Mercado (Rosario) and Sam Milby (The Gifted) also star in the film about a man trapped in a loveless marriage who enlists the help of a local Lothario to seduce his wife. Remakes have also been produced in Spain, Chile, Mexico, Italy, India, Vietnam and Korea.

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Dolly De Leon, who rocked the Cannes Film Festival two years ago in “Triangle of Sadness,” has joined the cast of “Severino: The First Serial Killer,” an upcoming series from Philippines outfit CreaZion Studios. While “Severino” is the highest profile project, the producer is building a larger slate of feature films. “Severino” De Leon is a large-scale period thriller series, chronicling the tale of Catholic priest Severino Mallari, who killed 57 people during the Spanish colonization era of the country. Producers RJ Agustin and Real Florido have tapped Yam Laranas known for his horror films “The Echo” and “The Road” as series director.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Arriving in the middle of the art smorgasbord that’s the Cannes Film Festival, a three-hour Western directed by Kevin Costner sounded like it might be just the ticket for a perfect night of counterprogramming: a grandly scaled slice of neo-classical Hollywood. That, after all, describes the other two Westerns Costner has directed (“Dances with Wolves” and “Open Range”), as well as his quirky sci-fi pseudo-Western “The Postman.” There’s no question that “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1,” Costner’s fourth outing as a director, gives off some of that traditional flavor.
