John Sayles working on a war film ‘Baryo’

Posted by Jack On February - 3 - 2010

ComingSoon got the word that Indy film maker John Sayles is working on a war film, called Baryo.


An anonymous source tipped us off to the fact they were involved with a movie in the Philippines and doing a bit of research, we discovered it was Sayles’ latest project Baryo, his fictionalized account of the Philippines-American War that took place between the countries at the turn of the century after two American privates killed three Filipino soldiers in a suburb of Manila. The incident turned into a bloody war that lasted two years as the Philippines Army used guerilla tactics to make up for being under-equipped to face the overwhelming American forces.


This should be an entertaining film to follow up to its release, so stay tuned for more information.
