Manila, Philippines - Host-actress Kris Aquino confirmed on ABS-CBN's morning show 'KrisTV' that her son James "Bimby" Yap Jr. will play a boy with "super powers" in the sequel of "The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin."
Bimby has debuted acting in a movie in the 2013 blockbuster film "My Little Bossings". He has been included in the sequel of Vice Ganda's hit movie, which will be part of the 2014 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). It will be directed by Wenn Deramas.
"Parang kailangan siyang i-protect ni Vice. Parang shini-shield siya kasi marami ang gustong pumatay sa kanya dahil mayroon siyang super powers," Aquino said on Thursday.
Bimby will start shooting for "The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin 2" by end of July.
"Parang gusto nila na maka-two o three weeks bago siya bumalik ng school para hindi stressful," Aquino said.
According to Kris, it was Bimby's decision to do a movie with the influential comedian.
"Tinanong ko si Bimby, sinabi ko, 'Honey, it's your choice, do you want to do the movie?' At ang sinabi ni Bimb nung nalaman niya na sundalo si Praybeyt Benjamin at soldier ...pumayag siya and because si Tito Vice naman 'yon," Aquino explained, adding that her son's only condition is for him to have action scenes.
For this year's MMFF, Aquino will be competing with her son and good friend since she will be doing the sequel of her hit 2004 horror film "Feng Shui" with actor Coco Martin also for the annual film fest.
