John Lloyd Cruz and Piolo Pascual are starring in a movie together

(SPOT.ph) Here's a collaboration we never saw coming, but we have to admit—it's about time it happened.

John Lloyd Cruz and Piolo Pascual are slated to star in a new movie together and guess what: it's not a rom-com! In fact the film will be helmed by award-winning director Lav Diaz. Producer Paul Soriano posted photos from the movie, which is currently being shot in Lake Bulusan, Sorsogon.

According to PEP.ph, the film is a mystery that "marries Literature (the missing chapters of El Filibusterismo), Mythology (tikbalangs), and History (Oryang's 30-day search for the lost body of Andres Bonifacio)."

The film will also feature some huge names, including Alessandra de Rossi, Sid Lucero, Cherie Gil, Angel Aquino, and Bernardo Bernardo.
