Manuel V. Pangilinan, the tycoon behind Metro Pacific Investments Corp., is getting ready for his Hollywood debut, according to a report by Deadline.

The article states that Pangilinan will serve as the executive producer of “The Last Resort,” an upcoming romantic comedy set in the Philippines.

The film will star Daisy Ridley and Alden Ehrenreich, both prominent actors in the “Star Wars” franchise.
