Gagambino

When GMA Network bought the rights to Carlo J. Caparas' graphic novel on February 2007, Richard Gutierrez was attached to star. The series was shelved until 2008, but Gutierrez opted to work on his dream project: Codename: Asero. The network decided that they could not longer delay the series and gave the role to Dennis Trillo, over another heavy contender: JC de Vera, who later joined the cast in LaLola.

Director Topel Lee required Trillo to learn three martial arts in preparation for the role: wing chun, judo and kendo - a Japanese martial art of sword-fighting. He also underwent a rigorous training for parkour.

"Gagambino" is the superhero story of a young man named Bino and his adventures with his giant spider as they fight evil forces in a darker, crime-infested re-imagination of Manila. Bino and his group of friends, all possessing insect-like superpowers like him, are pitted against Abresia, a terrorist mastermind and a very powerful woman who can command giant insects.
