‘Bourne Legacy’ benefits Manila residents, Rachel Weisz awes Filipinos





Philippines—Residents of Abella Court on Leveriza Street in San Andres Complex were not allowed to go out of their house or peek through their windows during the filming of “Bourne Legacy.”
But the discomfort was nothing compared to the benefits received by the residents.
The barangay tanods in the area said roofs of some houses have been repaired for the scene where there will be jumping from one roof to another.
“The house beside ours which is a sari-sari store was repaired and arranged to make it look like a pharmacy,” Teresa Jacela, a resident of Abella Court on Leveriza Street said.
Jacela said she took her kids to school around 6 a.m. “because we were told beforehand that when the filming started, we can no longer go out of the house except during breaks.”
When she returned, the filming already started thus she lingered around the San Andres Gym for about 30 minutes before she managed to return home. But she said it’s only a slight convenience.
“It’s not every day that a Hollywood star will sit outside our gate. I am very proud that they have chosen to shoot in our neighborhood of all the many places in Manila,” she said.



Sources said in the scene, lead actress Rachel Weisz will buy something at the pharmacy, from where the chasing scene will ensue after lead actor Jeremy Renner arrived in a motor cycle.
On Thursday, another source said the crew already repaired the house and building where Renner will jump from a three-story building to a residential house.

The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Assistant General Manager Emerson Carlos said they have deployed 166 MMDA personnel for the whole shoot of the film in Metro Manila.
Members of the Manila Police District (MPD), who will be part of the filming, have been provided new uniforms and a Camry which will be used as their mobile patrol in their film.
The production will also shoot in various locations in the country such as Marikina market, Navotas fish port, Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard, Jones Bridge, Pasay Rotonda and Palawan.

‘Bourne’ secrecy


“The Bourne Legacy” lead actor Jeremy Renner, who turned 41 on Jan. 7, may not know it yet, but he is about to get bibingka and puto bumbong as belated birthday gifts. The traditional Filipino delicacies will be from Lope “Jun” V. Juban Jr. of Philippine Film Studios Inc., local producer of the Tony Gilroy spy-thriller film currently shooting in the country.
Renner, an American, arrived in Manila last week, while his costar, British actress Rachel Weisz, planed in Sunday night. Juban said another actor playing a major role, Edward Norton, is expected to arrive any day now.

“They’re adjusting well,” said Juban of Renner and Weisz’s first few days here. “It looks to me like they already feel at home. Paikot-ikot lang sila sa Metro Manila. Like them, the entire production team is just settling down, trying to acclimatize.”
Manila will serve as the setting for the film’s climax—specifically the last 20 to 25 minutes. Juban said two other cities were considered—Jakarta in Indonesia and Ho Chin Minh in Vietnam.

“Manila’s selling point was its people,” stressed Juban, denying talk that the city was picked for its squalor. “While [the producers] were scouting for a location, we showed them pictures of Manila, with people smiling despite obvious hardships. And when they got here, they said they immediately felt welcome.” Filming began Wednesday on San Andres and Remedios streets in Malate. Some parts will be shot in scenic spots in El Nido, Palawan, Juban said.

Unique work week

In a previous interview, Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) chair Briccio Santos said most of the movie’s action scenes were to be filmed here. He reported that Weisz was to have some shots inside a spinning jeepney, and that a chase scene would take place along the Metro Rail Transit line. Santos emphasized that Manila would be filmed as Manila, and not as a stand-in for another city. Juban added,

“There’s a negative impression about Manila that we hope to dispel with this project. I’ve been in this business long enough to know that no producer would bring clients to a place that he knows is dangerous.” Manila is part of the story, said Santos. He elaborated, “What I know is that Bourne’s group comes here in search of a rare medication and some forces try to stop them.”

“The first scenes to be filmed are all general, establishing shots— mostly day scenes,” Juban told Inquirer said on Tuesday, but did not confirm whether the lead actors would be working yesterday. “I hope people understand why we’re being very secretive. We don’t want to disrupt filming.” Shooting in the Philippines will last for 40 to 45 days.

In a report, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chair Francis Tolentino said the production team will be working only Wednesdays to Sundays. The first shooting location was the Remedios Circle in Malate. Juban, who had been working with the “Bourne” production team for over a year now, said he still felt “tense and stressed.” He explained: “Anything can happen. Every project poses problems. Manila is supposed to have clear skies in January. Let’s hope typhoons will steer clear of us for the duration of the shoot.”
