Rachel
Weisz came to Manila on January to film the fourth instalment of the successful
Hollywood movie Bourne, The Bourne Legacy. She ended up leaving
a gift and legacy instead to about 600 kids. It is a playground in San Andres,
Manila. This was revealed by the film’s producer
and director Pat Crowley and confirmed by Rachel Weisz’ Filipino co-actors in
the film Lou Veloso and John Arcilla.
“Everyday she came out and she saw the
playground and she saw the kids in the playground. I think that had a lot to do
with motivating her…that she always makes a contribution on every movie that
she works on,” Crowley mentioned to a TV press.
Crowley also shared that Weisz contributed
Merry-Go-Round and new seesaw for the kids. He added that Weisz’ main concern
was the safety of the kids as there were lots of sharp edges that can injure
the kids.
“We can do better for the kids,” is what Crowley
remembered that Rachel Weisz have quipped.
Filipino architects Roy Lachica, Dan
Fernandez and Kenny Yanga were commissioned to design the playground’s
makeover. “Rachel approved the drawing we showed her before she left Manila.”
Lahica said. “She wanted us to include rubber mats, because the floor area is
all concrete.” It was completed on March 5, 2012.
Meanwhile, Crowley also revealed that the “Bourne
Legacy” will have a special screening here in the Philippines this year.
“I don’t know if there will be a world
premiere but definitely a special screening here for the people who were
involved and people in Manila.
