Kylie Padilla is joining the cast of “Green Bones,” GMA Pictures’ entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival 2024.
The Sparkle star shared the news through an Instagram post by sharing a photo of the script written by National Artist Ricky Lee and MMFF 2023 Best Screenplay winner Anj Atienza.
“Bucketlist check,” Kylie wrote, along with the hashtag #grateful.
Kylie will star alongside Ruru Madrid, Dennis Trillo, and Sofia Pablo in the film, which will be helmed by award-winning director Zig Dulay.
“Green Bones” is based on an original story by JC Rubio, senior documentary manager of GMA Public Affairs.
According to GMA Pictures, “Green Bones” tells the story of a man, who is notorious for the grisly murder of his sister and her daughter. Already up for parole, a newly assigned prison guard takes a personal interest in making sure that he remains behind bars – no matter what it takes.
The film made it to the first five finalists of MMFF 2024, along with “And the breadwinner is…,” “Strange Frequencies: Haunted Hospital,” “Himala: Isang Musikal,” and “The Kingdom.”
Kylie currently appears in GMA Prime series “Asawa ng Asawa Ko.”
She is also set to make her comeback as Amihan in “Sang’gre.”
