‘Forgotten Island’ Stars H.E.R. and Liza Soberano on Giving Filipino Culture Its “Flowers”
Forgotten Island stars H.E.R. and Liza Soberano chat with Collider about the authentic Filipino representation found in the original DreamWorks movie.
“Don’t stop believin’. Hold on to the feelin’.” These iconic lyrics from Journey are the mantra to DreamWorks’ latest movie, Forgotten Island. Set in the Philippines, the original movie centers on two best friends — Jo (H.E.R.) and Raissa (Liza Soberano) — on the eve of a big move when they find the legendary island of Nakali, a place they had dreamed of finding since they were kids. The longer they stay and interact with Nakali’s mystical creatures, the more they risk forgetting each other. With the stylish flair of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish directors and a supporting cast featuring the likes of Dave Franco and Jenny Slate, Forgotten Island is a high-octane magical adventure for all ages.
