Dingdong Dantes Optimistic About ‘Tiktik’

Kapuso primetime royalty Dingdong Dantes is very optimistic about the success of his ground-breaking horror film, “Tiktik: The Aswang Chronices,” which opened today, October 17, in theaters nationwide.

The movie, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Erik Matti, is pioneering in its use of digital set extension via chroma key or “green screen” technology in all of its sequences. The film, arguably the biggest horror film of 2012, is shot entirely in green screen and utilises a combination of live action footage and three-dimensional computer graphics (CG).
In his rounds of radio promotions for the film starting with GMA’s flagship radio stations DZBB (AM) and Barangay LS 97.1 (FM), Dantes expressed pride for his film, which took more than a year to create.
“Very entertaining talaga yung pelikula. Bukod sa pagiging isang horror film niya, nandun din ang action at comedy, at makikita mo rin sa pelikula yung true Filipino values pagdating sa pamilya, and definitely, it’s an eye candy,” Dingdong said.
“Tiktik” also stars Lovi Poe, Joey Marquez, Janice de Belen, LJ Reyes, Ramon Bautista, RJ Salvador, Mike Gayoso, Montito Almario, Jeff Fernandez, John Harley, Cris Pastor, Roi Vinzon and Rina Reyes.
The film is produced by five production outfits namely Reality Entertainment, Agostodos Pictures (owned by Dingdong Dantes), Reality Entertainment’s sister companies and post-production arms PostManila and Mothership and GMA Films.
Watch out for the biggest horror movie of the year — “Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles” — coming to nationwide theatres beginning October 17. The film is rated PG by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), meaning children below 13 years old may watch the movie as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles’ Production Cost is Almost P80 Million

During the press conference of the upcoming horror film “Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles” the producers of the film confirmed reports that they have apparently spent close to P80 million for its production.


Given the complexity of the film’s effects, it is not unlikely that its total cost would reach close to the rumoured amount, explained the producers. While the live action sequences were shot within just 28 days (still unusually longer than most local productions), the post-production stage took more than a year to complete.
Starring Dingdong Dantes with Lovi Poe, Joey Marquez and Janice de Belen, the film by acclaimed director Erik Matti is produced by five different film companies: Reality Entertainment, Agostodos Pictures (owned by Dingdong Dantes), Reality Entertainment’s sister companies and post-production arms PostManila and Mothership and GMA Films.
“Tiktik,” which is poised to be the biggest and perhaps the most expensive horror movie of 2012, is the only full-length Filipino film shot entirely in chroma key or “green screen” technology. It also utilised somewhere between 30 and 40 computer graphics (CG) artists to create the complex three-dimensional environments and creatures which were seamlessly incorporated into the live action footage. “Tiktik” joins the ranks of only a handful of films shot in this kind of technology including the Hollywood produced “300″ and “Avatar.”
“Isa lang ang hangarin namin nang ginagawa namin into: to entertain. Sa amin, wala kaming tinipid; lahat ng kaya namin ay ibinigay namin dito,” said lead star and co-producer Dingdong Dantes.
Also starring in “Tiktik: The Aswang Chronices” are LJ Reyes, Ramon Bautista, RJ Salvador, Mike Gayoso, Montito Almario, Jeff Fernandez, John Harley, Cris Pastor, Roi Vinzon and Rina Reyes.
Watch out for the biggest horror movie of the year — “Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles” — coming to nationwide theatres beginning October 17. The film is rated PG by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), meaning children below 13 years old may watch the movie as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

Derek Ramsay and Anne Curtis Reunite in ‘A Secret Affair’

Derek Ramsay and Anne Curtis, stars of last year’s blockbuster “No Other Woman” which holds the record for being the highest-grossing Filipino dramatic movie of all time, reunite in “A Secret Affair.”



The movie is said to be a follow-up to “No Other Woman” with Andi Eigenmann joining the tandem of Ramsay and Curtis to complete the love triangle.
The three stars, considered today’s hottest and busiest, figure in a sizzling, dramatic tale of love, lust and deceit. Ramsay and Curtis are a couple whose relationship is seriously challenged with the intrusion of a third party, played by Andi.
The movie has all the elements that made “No Other Woman” such a phenomenon—a great-looking cast, an engaging story, memorable dialogue peppered with quotable quotes, beautiful locations, and the
trademark gloss of classic VIVA melodramas. But it’s even sexier and more stylish, with more lavish sets and eye-popping production values. It’s also bigger in scope as it touches on family and friendship. Both Anne and Andi play strong, feisty characters but with different sensibilities molded by their family backgrounds and
situations. The movie is also even more contemporary, as it shows how relationships are shaped by new media these days.
“A Secret Affair” promises to cement Anne’s reputation as one of the very best actresses of the new generation, as well as Derek’s image as today’s top sexy actor. The movie also heralds the arrival of Andi as a new movie drama princess.
Directed by teleserye veteran Nuel Crisostomo Naval from a story and screenplay by award-winning writer Mel Mendoza-del Rosario, “A Secret Affair” boasts a formidable supporting cast led by acclaimed veterans Jaclyn Jose, Joel Torre, and Jackie Lou Blanco. It also features Say Alonzo, IC Mendoza, Shy Carlos, Petra Mahalimuyak, and Gee-Ann Abraham.
“A Secret Affair” is set to open in theaters nationwide on October 24, 2012.

Toni, meanwhile, feels proud with her first team-up with Luis, Vice, and Direk Wenn. “Pinapangako po namin sa inyo na this is worth every centavo of your money. Bibigyan namin kayo ng isa’t kalahating oras ng kasiyahan na makakalimutan niyo pansamantala ang lahat ng mga problema niyo,” she said.

Despite being a comedy flick, Vice assured that “This Guy’s In Love With You, Mare” will share life lessons to moviegoers. He explained, “Itong pelikula namin todo talaga sa patawa, todong laugh trip, at todong good vibes. Pero eventually meron itong mai-impart na importanteng lesson sa audience.”

‘The Mistress’ is Now the 2nd Pinoy Movie in History to Surpass the P300 Million Mark at the Box Office

According to a report by Star Cinema, “The Mistress” starring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo has already grossed P300 million worldwide making its lead stars both shoo-ins for Box Office King and Queen, respectively.



The feat makes “The Mistress” the second Filipino movie in history to surpass the elusive P300 million at the box office and it has the potential to become the highest-grossing Pinoy film of all time since it’s still screening in theaters (fourth week).
The romantic drama from Star Cinema is now poised to break the box-office record of the Vice Ganda-starrer, “The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin,” which earned a whopping P342 million last year and the “Box Office Phenomenon” title for the gay comedian.
Can “The Mistress” break the box-office record of “Praybeyt Benjamin”?
