Filipino Movie Filmed in Chicago is a hit!
At 81 years old, Dolphy is still in the business of making movies. The King of Comedy will be returning to the big screen with a love story that spans several decades, just like his colorful showbiz career.
This Metro Manila Film Fest entry was originally titled Juan but when the Wondergirls song “Nobody” became a big hit, Dolphy himself suggested that they add “Nobody, Nobody” to the title. It is directed by Dolphy’s son, Eric Quizon, from a screenplay by Bibeth Orteza, and produced by Joe Aldeguer Productions, Kaizz Ventures and RVQ Productions.
Simply called Juan, this movie is a heartwarming love story and family-centered comedy that encompasses the 1940s to the present. It takes place in the United States and the Philippines. Nobody, nobody but…Juan tells the story of a U.S.-based senior citizen named Juan (Dolphy) who lives in a senior citizens’ home run by his son (Eric Quizon) and daughter-in-law (played by G Toengi). Juan’s favorite pastime is watching Wowowee on The Filipino Channel. He does not watch the show just for entertainment’s sake. Aside from wanting to connect with the Philippines that he dearly misses, Juan is lonesome for his first love Aida, with whom he lost touch during the Japanese occupation of Manila. Wowowee is Juan’s way of coping with homesickness and reliving the past. When watching Wowowee is banned in the home, Juan takes drastic measures to watch his favorite TV program. In his quest, he crosses paths with his old friend Tu (Eddie Garcia) who used to be his partner in the vaudeville duo Juan Tu. Pokwang is cast as the partner in crime of Tu. Juan is then reunited with his long-lost love Aida (portrayed by Gloria Romero). Will they have a happy ending after all these years? That will be for you to find out!
This film was shot for 13 days in the Philippines and six days in Chicago. Why did they decide to shoot Juan in the Windy City?
“Para maiba naman kasi usually, yung mga pelikula either New York or San Francisco. Chicago is a beautiful city. Ang maganda sa kanya meron lake, ang Lake Michigan. The architecture of Chicago is very nice. You have tall skyscrapers and, at the same time, you have all these Gothic structures,” explains Direk Eric Quizon.
It is said to be a real treat that Filipinos and Filipino-Americans young and old will enjoy.
