Uunahan na ng Regal Entertainment Inc. ang Metro Manila Film Festival 2019.
Ipapalabas na nila ang pelikulang The Heiress starring Maricel Soriano and Janella Salvador with McCoy de Leon and Jane de Leon directed by Frasco Mortiz.
Intended for 45th MMFF ang The Heiress but sadly, hindi ito nakasama sa four additional official entries na nagkaroon ng announcement kanina (October 16).
The bad news: Hindi kami nakapasok sa MMFF. The good news: The Heiress will be shown on November 27! #TheHeiressWalaKangTakas pic.twitter.com/haeb5AY6iP
