The next several weeks will assure some more coverage from fellow niche sites in lieu of actor and director Vincent Soberano’s new martial arts thriller, The Trigonal. Viva Films has dibs on its local release in the Philippines and has since begun its final string of promotional rounds with the first of several countdown trailers leading up to its September 26 release.
An underground fighting circuit run by an international crime syndicate invades a retired martial arts champion’s small idyllic town.
When syndicate thugs brutally assault his wife and murder his best friend, he is left with no other choice but to fight for justice.
Actor and martial artist Ian Ignacio emerges to lead a cast that includes Soberano with actress Rhian Ramos, fellow action cinema legends Monsour Del Rosario and Levy Ignacio with Gus Liem, Christian Vasquez, Li Jingliang, Paul Allica and actress Sarah Chang who also serves as fight choreographer.
The Trigonal is one of a few films that have been kept in limbo for the past year as Soberano himself had been mired in negotiations with studios over distribution. Our readers and film fans alike will get to learn more from his perspective when we publish our interview with the director on Monday, August 27.
