From the film’s press release: “Astral Productions, a new adventurous independent outfit, has given young filmmaker Adolfo Alix, Jr. a respite from the real stories he has been churning out since he made his directorial debut via Cinemalaya’s “Donsol,” which was followed by his acclaimed films “Kadin,” “Tambolista,” “Manila,” “Daybreak,” and “Adela” to name a few. Unknown to many, Alix is also one of the writers of the smash comedy hit “D’Anothers” starring Vhong Navarro. For a change, Alix now treats you to a screwball comedy where anything goes and nothing is predictable.

“D’Survivors” is, as the title suggests, a take on the popular reality show of adventurous, young people put in man-made survival and matter-of-life-and-death situations and challenges to test one’s mettle, physical strength, human disposition and character. Interestingly, the present movie was shot in the very same islands where the “Survivor” of other franchise countries are shot- in the pristine Caramoan Islands, CamSur.

On their way to Babuyan Island for a pictorial, a group of models finally finds themselves stranded in an unknown island. Chaos reigns as they try to survive there along with the other survivors.

The current spoof boasts of a breath-taking locale, a paradise island of blue waters, white sands and lush green vegetations; and a handful of beautiful people, mostly supermodels, and talented comedians, who all let their hair down, so-to-speak, and came up with a real-funny rib tickler.

Brazilian heartthrobs Akihiro Sato, Daniel Matsunaga, Fabio Ide with Pinoy hotties Rocky Salumbides, Lemuelle Pelayo, Don Mendoza, Jubail Andres, Aaron Tuiza, and Kerbie Zamora star with newcomer Darlene Anderson and with brilliant support from seasoned comedians K Brosas, Divine Tetay, theater veteran Marife Necessito and comedy royalty Evelyn Vargas, who’s making her comeback.

Director Adolfo Alix, Jr., recently cited by The Hollywood Reporter in its Next Generation Asia List as one of the 20 young movers in the Asian entertainment region (filmmakers below 35), helms this 360-degree turnabout genre which might yet prove an untapped talent of Alix’s in comedy.”

“D’Survivors” opens on April 28, 2010.
