Development

edit

The project has been in the works for decades according to director Matthew Rosen which started since 1984 when he started to do research on biblical mysteries in Filipino folklore which created The Gatekeeper. Rosen quoted in the press conference: "I've been working on it since 1984 ... it actually takes a lot of research, there's a lot of stuff to get your head around all the way through it." He also stated that he had to research because it is not commonly known. The film will have demonic mysteries lurking in the real world while blending biblical elements into Filipino folklore.[2]

Marketing

On September 11, 2024 both the trailer and the official moving poster was revealed during the press conference and then released online an hour after.[3][4]
