The release of Halina Filipina last October Komiket 2015 had sent smiles to fans of Arnold Arre's work, for finally a new material is once again presented to us.
However, the excitement does not stop there. The biggest news came from a transcript published by Radio Republic last September 24, 2015 (days before Komiket was held). It was a transcript of an interview with director Jerrold Tarog, director of Heneral Luna [2015].
"What's next, I dunno yet. We're developing Arnold Arre's Mythology Class. Maybe starting on the Luna sequel, Goyong" he said.
News of Arnold Arre's The Mythology Class being crafted into a movie made a lot of komik lovers, especially fans of Arnold Arre and those that have a deep appreciation of the Philippine Mythology, giggle and rejoice. The best part of the transcript was that the director of Heneral Luna, who clearly got the attention of most Filipinos due to his very provocative movie and his defiance to Filipino cliche movie structures, was the one who mentioned of a movie adaptation of The Mythology Class as a future project of his.

Additional information about the director's vision for this movie can be seen on an ABS-CBN News article that states director Jerrold Tarog had already pitched The Mythology Class to the producers. The producers had liked it and the story is now currently being developed.
Jerrold adds, "It will be done in two parts, with the original group of students divided into two since the whole book is rich enough for two films. We also have a couple of actresses in mind for some of the lead roles, but it's way too early to seriously discuss the casting."

This movie will surely be on the watch list of avid comic movie fans and those who have been captivated into following Jerrold Tarog's works after the success of the Heneral Luna biopic. The countdown into meeting Mrs. Enkanta, Nicole and the rest of the class awaits in the hands of director Jerrold Tarog.
