James Reid is the new Pedro Penduko!

 

Viva Artists Agency officially announced at the History Con at the World Trade Center in Pasay City last week that James Reid is set to reprise the iconic comic book hero “Pedro Penduko” created by Franciso V Coching on the big screen.

Last year VRJ Books unveiled the newest Pedro Penduko book written by Regene Estolatan under Epik Studios entitled “Pedro Penduko: The Legend Begins” at the 35^th Manila International Book Fair with the special participation of James Reid in the book launch that already gave a hint that he wasn’t only the peg for the new look of Pedro, but also he will be the one playing the role.

“Pedro Penduko: The Legend Begins” is a reimagined version of Pedro Penduko, it will be far from the past Penduko Movie as it will have a modern twist on it, focusing on the character of Peter Harris, who was a Fil-am boy who went back in the Philippines to search for his mother, only to find out that he is in for a supernatural adventure to track down his biological mother.

The 5^th “Pedro Penduko” movie is set for 2018, to be directed by Dan Villegas. In the meantime, James Reid is also set to work for another movie with Nadine Lustre under Viva Films that is targeted to premiere this year.
