TWO MAGICAL SCHOOL TEAMS JOIN UAAP
The magical heroes and villains of Netflix’s “The School for Good and Evil” took over the country’s premiere collegiate basketball league to usher in the film’s launch last week. The teams from the School for Good and School for Evil made their debut on the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) court through a mesmerizing acrobatic basketball show. The show’s characters— fairies, princes, a cyclops and heroines Agatha and Sophie— captivated the audience with various flips and jump shots.
A flying Stymph was seen soaring outside the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Stymphs are birdlike creatures from the film that shuttle students to either the majestic School for Good or the mysterious School for Evil.
In the film, the School For Good and Evil headmistresses unlocked students’ magic through their Finger Glows. Similarly, the headmistresses were also present by the entrance of the MOA Arena to give out finger glows representing UAAP school colors, making the games even more magical.
They then joined the courtside correspondents in their reports. The characters gave unusual, yet enchanting takes on basketball as we know it.
“The School for Good and Evil” is a film based on the bestselling series by Soman Chainani. It is directed by Paul Feig and stars Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Sofia Wylie and Sophia Anne Caruso, among others.
