Filipino-Canadian Alex Mallari Jr. on working with Ryan Reynolds in ‘The Adam Project’

Hand-picked by box-office Director Shawn Levy himself to be one of the main antagonists in The Adam Project, Filipino-Canadian actor Alex Mallari Jr. is surely one to watch out for on the big screen. Born in Lubao City in Pampanga, Mallari moved to Canada where he grew up and pursued Criminology but then realizing he really wanted to take on his childhood dream to become an actor. Since then, he’s been a part of shows like Dark Matter, Shadowhunters, Designated Survivor, Ginny & Georgia, and more.

Double Trouble: a review of ‘The Adam Project’

In a roundtable interview with select media from the Philippines, Alex Mallari Jr. shared his journey as an actor in Hollywood, how he thinks there should be more opportunities for the Filipino community, what it was like working with such a star-studded project, and more.

What was it like knowing you were casted as one of the main antagonists in The Adam Project?

Alex: I was on the set of “Working Moms” and my manager got in touch with me. It was first about the movie “Resident Evil” so I first got that offer and shortly after that he called and told me that I also got “The Adam Project.” He asked me what I wanted to do because there was one day that won’t work out so I can’t do both of them. As much as I love Resident Evil, this movie had Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy, Zoe Saldaña — that’s something you can’t say no to so it was an easy choice.

How would you describe your journey as an actor in Hollywood? Do you think the opportunities for people of color are improving?

Alex: They’re certainly improving. There was a point where we were able to say “Hollywood isn’t doing a good job in bringing inclusiveness into the picture,” but now I don’t think we can say that anymore. I think now we can start to be a little more specific, as far as who isn’t and what isn’t being inclusive.

My journey has been fun and there have been a lot of opportunities that I found to be just learning opportunities because Filipinos aren’t really recognized. When they want Asian, we’re not the typical Asian look that they want. Very rarely that you see Filipinos until recently I have seen Pacific Islanders, Southeast Asians which is great but up until then, a lot of the things that I have gone out for and even now are open ethnicity, so we leave it at that.

But I do feel there needs to be not just more Filipino actors, but more Filipino writers, publicists, directors. I just worked with an awesome Filipino director of photography. It was just so nice — to just have our community there.

What was the most difficult part of portraying your character Christos?

Alex Mallari Jr.: The most difficult part was wrapping my mind around the fact that I was going to be in a movie with the best in the business — Zoe Saldaña, Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy, Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, Catherine Keener, and newcomer Walker Scobell who acted so professionally. So wrapping my mind around the fact I was walking with the giants, I think that was the most difficult part. But when it came down that it was time to start working, it came so naturally. I feel like everyone on set had such awesome energy — everyone was just thankful to be there to tell this incredible story.

What were your specific preparations for Cristos? Were there any fighting styles that you worked on?

Alex: As far as prep goes, the moment I found out about it, it was a very strict diet because I had to be beside Ryan Reynolds and just a lot of working out as far as that. Taekwondo is something I’ve always done in my life so I’m proficient in that, and boxing as well. I’m not trained in it but there was a specific thing that I did ask for. In the movie, you see two sticks that I pull out — those weren’t really there, to begin with.

They asked if I was proficient in any weapons and I said there was a series that I did that I spent a lot of time with a katana, but I wanted to do something for the Philippines. So I asked if we can do something with arnis sticks or some sort of kali knife or something. It was nice that they were so accepting of my need to represent the Philippines in some capacity. I know it only made a few movies but I’m happy that it made the movie at all.

How did this project help you as an actor?

Alex: It helped me immensely! I’d probably give myself a six or seven out of 10. If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to just be more comfortable and to let loose a little and don’t seek that permission to try things, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.

I think this film, thus far, has been my best learning experience. This publicity stuff is great, being able to work with these people is great, but being able to learn from my co-actors is better. There’s this old saying, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” And I think that’s what The Adam Project was for me.

Two adrenaline-pumping blockbusters, F9: The Fast Saga and Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins will premiere on Friday, March 18 and Saturday, March 26 respectively on HBO GO.

The high-octane Fast and Furious movie franchise continues with its ninth chapter F9: The Fast Saga with acclaimed filmmaker Justin Lin (The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Fast 5 and Fast & Furious 6, Star Trek Beyond) back at its helm. It reunites the original cast members and a number of the creative minds who have worked on the franchise over the span of the last two decades.

Vin Diesel’s (Chronicles of Riddick, The Last Witch Hunter) Dominic Toretto is leading a quiet life with Letty (Michelle Rodriguez – S.W.A.T., Resident Evil: Retribution) and his young son Brian. However, danger lurks in the form of Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob (John Cena – The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker), the best assassin and high-performance driver the crew has ever encountered. Also with the manipulative Cipher (Charlize Theron – Mad Max: Fury Road, Bombshell) wreaking havoc once more, Dom must choose between his responsibility as a father, loyalty to his chosen ‘family’ and the need to confront the sins of his past.

F9: The Fast Saga welcomes back Tyrese Gibson as Roman, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges as Tej, Nathalie Emmanuel as Ramsey, Jordana Brewster as Mia, Sung Kang as Han, Helen Mirren as Queenie and Kurt Russell as Mr Nobody, with new faces Anna Sawai as Elle and Thue Ersted Rasmussen as Otto.

Written by Daniel Casey and Justin Lin, F9: The Fast Saga is produced by franchise producer Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel, Justin Lin, Jeffrey Kirschenbaum, Joe Roth, and Samantha Vincent.

In Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians, Last Christmas) is Snake Eyes, a tenacious loner welcomed into an ancient Japanese clan, the Arashikage, after saving the life of their heir apparent. As the Arashikage trains him in the ways of the ninja warrior, it also provides something he has been longing for: a home and the closest thing he has to a family. However, when secrets from his past are revealed, Snake Eyes’ honour and allegiance will be tested, which could mean losing the trust of those closest to him.

Based on the iconic G.I. Joe character, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins also stars Andrew Koji as Storm Shadow, Úrsula Corberó as Baroness, Samara Weaving as Scarlett, Haruka Abe as Akiko, Takehiro Hira as Kenta and Iko Uwais as Hard Master.

Double Trouble: a review of ‘The Adam Project’

Watch the official trailer of The Adam Project here:

In a roundtable interview, we talked to Ryan Reynolds and Walker Scobell who play Big and Small Adam Reed, and Zoe Saldaña who plays Adam’s wife Laura. Reynolds shares the story of how he and Shawn Levy ended up working again, Scobell’s wrap gift, Saldaña’s advice to her 12-year-old self, and more. Read the interview below:

What made you say yes to ‘The Adam Project’?

Ryan Reynolds: It was very weird. I just finished Free Guy with Shawn [Levy] and I was looking to tell something that was some sort of ‘Field of Dreams’ kind of space. I really wanted to be a part of a story that uses that kind of 80s architecture and film which is a huge spectacle-driven wish-fulfillment type filmmaking that there’s always that really emotionally important at its core.

Shawn and I were actually about to make a whole other movie that dealt with similar themes but wasn’t quite as sharp and as resonant as The Adam Project. And then we left it and found The Adam Project and we were both just in right from the get-go.

The idea was pitched to me by David Ellison who runs Skydance [Media] and I fell in love with the idea. I immediately pitched it to Sean and I threatened his life that he was going to do this movie with me or face dire and fatal consequences. And then off we went! We just went into development, Sean and I did a little rewrite on the script and then we were shooting.

Adam goes back in time to reunite with you in the movie, what would you say is the greatest or craziest thing you’ve done for love?

Zoe Saldaña: Get married! I met a guy, fell in love, and married him. Marriage is such a big step. It’s a commitment, an everyday exercise of love, and that takes discipline, energy, passion, determination, and perseverance — and that’s crazy to me. The fact that we wake up and generate all this energy to put into love because if we get lazy in love, it begins to die. So the craziest thing I’ve ever done for love is to marry and I’m very happy with my decision.

What were the lessons of time traveling have you learned from The Adam Project?

Zoe Saldaña: Sometimes things are better left untouched. Yes, they’re worth reliving because if they are wonderful moments in your life, the possibility of getting to relive a special moment again is just a wonderful gift.

Did you get to keep memorabilia when you wrapped up shooting?

Walker Scobell: Um, I did. Well, that was a wrap gift. I’m wearing it now actually!

Ryan Reynolds: There it is. That was his wrap gift on the movie — the actual watch!

Walker Scobell: But I took my whole costume, a couple of pairs of shoes but I grew out of them in like two days. I also took this hard drive thing that’s pretty cool.

What advice would you give your 12-year-old self?

Zoe Saldaña: Push yourself and stay curious. Try to find comfort in uncomfortable places because it only means that you’re challenging yourself, and you’re learning and growing. And I think I would have let my 12-year-old self know that “You’re on the right track. Everything that you’re doing for yourself, it’s going to help you find who you truly want to be.” And I feel like that would have saved me a lot of moments of tears, anxiety, and paranoia.

WATCH: Global Sensation ‘Bridgerton’ Returns with Season 2 Official Trailer

Netflix and Shondaland released the official trailer and new images for Bridgerton Season 2. The new photos take a look at a fan favorite Pall Mall game from the book which appears this season on screen. Bridgerton returns for a second season on March 25, 2022. In keeping with the tradition of the novels, season two tells the romance story of Lord Anthony Bridgerton’s quest for love. Bridgerton comes to Netflix from Shondaland and is executive produced by Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, Tom Verica, and Chris Van Dusen. Van Dusen also serves as creator and showrunner.

About Bridgerton

From Shondaland and Creator Chris Van Dusen, the second season of Bridgerton follows Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), the eldest Bridgerton sibling and Viscount, as he sets out to find a suitable wife. Driven by his duty to uphold the family name, Anthony’s search for a debutante who meets his impossible standards seems ill-fated until Kate (Simone Ashley) and her younger sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran) Sharma arrive from India.

When Anthony begins to court Edwina, Kate discovers the true nature of his intentions — a true love match is not high on his priority list — and decides to do everything in her power to stop the union. But in doing so, Kate and Anthony’s verbal sparring matches only bring them closer together, complicating matters on both sides. Across Grosvenor Square, the Featheringtons must welcome the newest heir to their estate while Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) continues to navigate the ton whilst keeping her deepest secret from the people closest to her.

Bridgerton is a romantic, scandalous, and clever series that celebrates the timelessness of enduring friendships, families finding their way, and the search for a love that conquers all. The series also stars Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury), Lorraine Ashbourne (Mrs. Varley), Harriet Cains (Philipa Featherington), Bessie Carter (Prudence Featherington), Shelley Conn (Mary Sharma), Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Featherington), Phoebe Dynevor (Daphne Basset), Ruth Gemmell (Violet Bridgerton), Florence Hunt (Hyacinth Bridgerton), Martins Imhangbe (Will Mondrich), Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton), Calam Lynch (Theo Sharpe), Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton), Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte), Luke Thompson (Benedict Bridgerton), Will Tilston (Gregory Bridgerton), Polly Walker (Portia Featherington), Rupert Young (Jack), and Julie Andrews as the voice of Lady Whistledown. The series is inspired by Julia Quinn’s novels.

Double Trouble: a review of ‘The Adam Project’

Ryan Reynolds has a type. He really shines as a wise-cracking tough guy that’s hiding a fragile, sensitive heart. He’s got a lot of charisma and great comedic timing. I first caught wind of this in 2004’s ‘Blade: Trinity’ where he was the most enjoyable character in the film (along with Parker Posey, another fantastic actor with great charisma and comedic timing). And while it took a long while for him to be fully appreciated for his talents – it wasn’t until 2016’s ‘Deadpool’ where he finally hit it big – he has had a stable career building this character and turning it into his own.

I mention this because a lot of Netflix’s new Shawn Levy-directed sci-fi adventure ‘The Adam Project‘ is centered on Ryan Reynolds and his particular style of performance. The film’s script, written by Jonathan Tropper, T.S. Nowlin, Jennifer Flackett, and Mark Levin has turned this time-traveling family adventure into a vehicle to showcase more of Reynolds’ trademark cinematic allure.

Reynolds’ Adam is a sarcastic, quick to the hip wise-cracking time traveler on a “classified” mission that leads him to meet up with his 12-year-old self, played by Walker Scobell. The 12-year old Adam is just as sarcastic and biting, throwing quips and verbal jabs at every turn.

I suppose the appeal here is that you get two Ryan Reynolds for the price of one. What’s even better? You put a Ryan Reynolds character against his younger self who is written just as funny and just as acerbic.

If this is your jam, then you’re going to have a fun time. Except, for me, it’s gotten old already. I think it would be great for Ryan Reynolds to do more, spread himself, and explore the range of his charisma and comedic timing. I’ve seen all of this in ‘Deadpool’ and this film is really milking this schtick so much. Every time ‘The Adam Project’ gets really thrilling or properly emotional, it is immediately undercut by a one-liner.

And it’s a shame because, with all the enjoyable fight sequences and the novelty of being able to imagine what it would be like to meet your younger self, there’s a rather lovely story here about coming to terms with your past and unresolved feelings.

Personally, I’m tired of Reynolds’ brand of comedy and it doesn’t help that Walker Scobell has Reynold’s timing but none of his charm. Granted he’s a kid but he doesn’t have the same power that Tom Holland (as a kid in ‘The Impossible’) or Haley Joel Osment (from ‘The Sixth Sense’) had as a young actor.

Instead, the ones who really bring this movie to its full potential are Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Garner. Garner, as Adam’s mother, can really imbue a scene with so much heart and emotion that I really wanted more of her in this film. Mark Ruffalo can juggle both humor, big-budget setups (and not get swallowed), and empathy in one go. In fact, he turns a crucial scene in the film from the beginning as a comic thing and then turning it into something very emotional and touching. It’s a genius move.

Zoe Saldana and Catherine Keener, on the flipside, shine as they synch into the adventure part of the film. Keener is enjoyable as a straight-up villain while Saldana handles the action woman role expertly, bringing humanity in an otherwise extraordinary role.

The film has great action choreography where you can really see the movements and enjoy them. The film doesn’t do quick cuts or tight close-ups so you can fully appreciate the movements of the action. As a sci-fi film, it doesn’t delve too much into the science but it doesn’t disregard it either, giving important explanations to the physics and the “rules” behind time travel. It isn’t bogged down by the science so that it can focus on Adam, the younger and the older, and how they can reconcile their own brokenness.

It has beautiful moments that are unfortunately undercut by the Ryan Reynolds-ness of the script, favoring the witty comebacks over emotional depth. Everything else feels by the book that doesn’t do anything much to really reinvent the genre. If it focused on the family bond, it might have been more impactful.

Is it great? Probably not. Is it enjoyable? Definitely. Especially if you love Ryan Reynolds and his cinematic persona.

My Rating:
