Los Angeles —The memoir \u201cChasing the Light: Writing, Directing, and Surviving Platoon, Midnight Express, Scarface, Salvador, and the Movie Game\u201d of 73-year-old award-winning director-writer-producer Oliver Stone talks a lot about his experiences in the Philippines while filming both \u201cPlatoon\u201d (1986) and \u201cBorn on the Fourth of July\u201d (1989).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d found a new home out here after my first family came to an end, and although I had no claim, I felt welcomed back,\u201d he told us in an interview. \u201cPeople smiled with genuine happiness; there was such a thing in life as joy, and it could be had — here and now, it need not be delayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI plunged into rainforests outside Manila with a small Filipino crew under the local producer, Jun Juban. We knew with our budget we\u2019d have to be a guerrilla version of \u2018Apocalypse Now,\u2019 which had experienced well-documented problems in the Philippines, among them trying to shoot in the typhoon season. But the jungle itself was pure, and I could imagine cutting trails deep into it, leading actors down into the riverbeds and up into the valleys. I fell in love with the landscape and the people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told us, \u201cThe Philippines gave birth to my new life in a way. It was my beginning as a director. Right from \u2018Salvador\u2019 in Mexico to the Philippines was exciting beyond belief. I had been to the Philippines the first time in 1983 with Dino De Laurentiis so Alex Ho and I planned out the whole thing. I went to many places, beautiful people, and beautiful reception, not much of a film industry. They made a lot of films but it wasn\u2019t like very expensive films. But they were wonderfully cooperative<\/p>\n\n\n\n …

The local producer of the Hollywood spy-thriller Bourne Legacy was once voted ‘Most Unlikely to Succeed’
BOURNE TALENT. Lope Juban is the man behind the movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MANILA, Philippines \u2013 During his days at De La Salle University, Lope \u2018Jun\u2019 Juban was voted \u2018Most Unlikely to Succeed.\u2019 Years later, Juban is one of the most successful producers in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philippine Film Studios, his production house, has worked on a string of international titles, including: \u201cAn Officer and a Gentleman,\u201d \u201cPlatoon,\u201d \u201cBorn on the 4th of July,\u201d and the \u201cSurvivor\u201d series for Israel, Sweden and France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juban, who has helped keep international film focus on the Philippines, is now the local producer for \u201cBourne Legacy.\u201d The spy drama is the first Hollywood film of its magnitude to be shot here and feature Manila as itself, instead of as a double for another Southeast Asian locale. From securing locations, negotiating fees and assembling crew, tremendous responsibility sits on Juban\u2019s shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
