‘My Valentine Girls’ Official Movie Poster Released

The official movie poster of the GMA Films and Regal Entertainment trilogy “My Valentine Girls” has been released.

The film stars the Valentines Box Office King Richard Gutierrez as a novelist searching for a girlfriend with Jillian Ward as his little sister who will have a cupid-like purpose in the movie.

“Soulmates” tells of a relationship that started with a vehicular accident involving Richard and Rhian Ramos, a fashion stylist. Richard dies and appears to Rhian as a ghost to ask for help in going back to his family. Eventually, they get closer to each other but what else can happen to them if Richard is already a ghost?

Another story features Richard’s team-up with Survivor Philippines’ Solenn Heussaff in “BBFF”. Richard plays the role of a lawyer who decides to propose to his best friend Solenn.

Will Solenn regret her match-making in the end?

The trilogy also includes “Gunaw”, an apocalyptic tale with ace comedienne Eugene Domingo. Uge convinces Richard that they have a mission to procreate because they are the only humans left after a worldwide disaster. Will Richard give in to Uge for the sake of humankind?

Richard Gutierrez Reunites with KC Concepcion in ‘When I Met U’

After the success of their first movie “For the First Time”, Richard Gutierrez will be reunited with mega-daughter KC Concepcion for the Valentines movie “When I Met U.”

When I Met U is co-produced by GMA Films and Regal Films as part of their exchange deal with Star Cinema in order to make the team-up of Richard and KC possible.

The first team-up of Richard and KC was with Star Cinema’s “For the First Time.” It was helmed by Dyesebel director Joyce Bernal. It became a monster hit to be the 3rd biggest pinoy movie of 2008 with a box-office gross of P134.7 million.

Can GMA/Regal surpass the amount hauled by the Star Cinema produced Richard-KC movie? Another obstacle that the film outfit recently faced was when the original director of When I Met U, Jose Javier Reyes, resigned due to tight schedule and creative differences. He was later replaced by Joel Lamangan.

The theme song of When I Met U was based on a classic Apo Hiking Society love song of the same title. It was revived by Sarah Geronimo in 2003 and now it was recorded by KC Concepcion for the music video of their movie.

When I Met U will hit theaters nationwide on February 11, 2009.

Richard Gutierrez and KC Concepcion to star in Valentine movie from GMA Films and Regal

Tuloy na tuloy na ang Valentine movie nina Richard Gutierrez at KC Concepcion next year from GMA Films and Regal Entertainment.

Gabi ng Miyerkules, May 21, isang biglaang invitation ang natanggap ng Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) mula sa Corporate Communications Department ng GMA-7 saying, "tuloy na ang contract signing tomorrow of Richard and KC and Direk Joey [Reyes] tomorrow 11 am at the 16th floor Board Room."

Kasunod nito ay nakatanggap kami agad ng tawag sa Project Development Manager and Head of Synergy ng GMA Films na si Noel Ferrer. Ang una naming tinanong sa kanya ay kung "naayos" na ang lahat for the contract signing to push through. Oo raw, so all is set for GMA Films to announce its separate project with Richard and KC.

IMPOSSIBLE DREAM. Mula pa sa simula, everyone wanted to see Richard and KC on screen but it seemed an impossible dream. Richard is an exclusive GMA Films artist at si KC, ipinahayag na noon na pipirma sa Star Cinema as an exclusive artist.

Making the Richard-KC team-up happen began in an early morning talk nina Noel Ferrer and Joey Abacan, VP for GMA Program Management. They wanted to suggest the idea to Star Cinema.

Sinundan ito ng public pronouncement ni GMA Films President Annette Gozon-Abrogar, when she said that GMA Films is open to the possibility of a co-production deal with Star Cinema. The next move was for GMA Films to pursue this co-production initiative along with KC's managers, Sandra Chavez and Shirley Kuan. And, in a way, tumulong na rin pareho sina Richard at KC sa pagiging vocal nila pareho na sana nga ay magkaroon ng isang pelikula na magkasama sila.

THE DEAL. A deal was set between GMA Films and Star Cinema. May sariling pelikula na gagawin ang film arm ng ABS-CBN starring Richard and KC at mauuna itong ipalalabas this August 2008. And then, ang GMA Films naman ang mag-a-announce ng kanilang separate movie, also starring the two stars na may Valentine 2009 release naman.

Nauna na nga ang dalawang big announcements ng Star Cinema. First ang pagpirma ni KC as an exclusive talent with a three-picture contract. Ikalawa, ang pagpirma ng one-picture deal ni Richard sa Star Cinema para maging kauna-unahang partner ni KC sa big screen.

It was also announced that the Star Cinema movie will be directed by Ms. Joyce Bernal and that some of the scenes will be done in Greece.

Naghintay muna ng dalawang linggo ang kampo ng GMA Films bago magbigay ng sariling announcement dahil nasa Europe pa si Annette, nasa Dubai si Richard for his new show, Codename: Asero, at busy naman si KC sa UN work niya sa Marawi.

Tuesday, May 20, of this week na-set ang announcement. But some technicalities surfaced na kailangang ayusin about the contract of KC sa Star Cinema kung kaya't na-postpone ito.

"WHEN I MET YOU." Wednesday, May 21, natuloy naman ang story conference and pictorial nina Richard at KC for their Star Cinema project. Meanwhile, the talks continued between GMA Films and Star Cinema para maayos ang ilang gusot and, presumably, all went well for GMA Films to do its own announcement Thursday morning, May 22.

Alas-onse pa lang ng umaga, kumpleto na ang triumvirate ng GMA Films na sina Ms. Annette Gozon-Abrogar, Joey Abacan, at Noel Ferrer. Ayos na rin ang boardroom ng 16th floor arranged by the Corporate Communication unit headed by Angel Javier. Maaga ring nagsidatingan ang GMA TV crew pati na rin sina Ricky Lo at Lhar Santiago, at sumunod na ang mga publicists ng GMA Films.

Sa background, pinapatugtog ang kantang "When I Met You." We later found out na ito pala ang magiging title ng pelikula na nina Richard at KC, na isinulat at ididirehe ni Direk Joey Reyes, na nasa grounds na rin at hinihintay ang pagdating nina Richard at KC.

According to Direk Joey, When I Met You is a "sweeping romance" about the joy of being young, alive, and in love. Basically, sabi niya, it is everything that's beautiful in the world.

PEP asked Noel and Direk Joey kung magkakaroon din ito ng out-of-the-country scenes. Ito raw ang isa sa mga pag-uusapan sa itaas. Malamang na magkaroon din daw, pero ayaw munang ipasabi kung anong bansa sila pupunta.

When I Met You is scheduled to open February 11, 2009. Like the first four Valentine movies of Richard—Let The Love Begin, I Will Always Love You, The Promise, and My Best Friend's Girlfriend—it will be co-produced by Regal Entertainment.

Marian Rivera and John Lloyd Cruz Together in a Movie?

After the possibility of pairing KC Concepcion and Richard Gutierrez in a movie was realized, Star Cinema is now contemplating of putting together GMA’s Marian Rivera and their very own John Lloyd Cruz together in a movie.

Marian Rivera is a movie contract star of Regal Films and Mother Lily is open to the idea of working with Star Cinema, ABS-CBN’s film company, for a joint project in the condition that they will also produce a movie with Angel Locsin.

Last year, the camp of Mother Lily threatened Star Cinema not to do a movie with Angel Locsin until she finishes her film assignments with Regal Films. This was rooted from Angel’s transfer to the kapamilya station last year and it was reported that she’s still under exclusive movie contract with Regal at that time.

Piolo Pascual - Marian Rivera Movie in the Works?

The chemistry between ABS-CBN top actor Piolo Pascual and GMA’s top actress Marian Rivera could create fireworks if they ever team up on a movie.

In the press conference of a new spa where Piolo Pascual and Marian Rivera are the endorsers, their chemistry was put to test and somehow, it worked! As a matter of fact, Mother Lily Monterverde of Regal Films is now planning to make a movie for the two big stars from rival tv stations.

Eight films will compete in 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival

This year's Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) will be free-for-all with returning superstars, sequels and, yes, even an animation.

Walong pelikula lang ang maglalaban-laban this year sa MMFF, so malamang na wala na itong two-parts like the past years; most opening on December 25 and the rest on January 1

Walang Judy Ann Santos-Ryan Agoncillo movie this time, pero may ibang "Anne" ang lalaban. Magbabalik si Vic Sotto, not with his Enteng Kabisote retinues but with his old classmates in Iskul Bukol.

Last year's sleeper hit Desperadas will have a sequel and the longest-running horror franchise in the Philippine history of movies marks X. Isang senador lang ang lalaban this year and an animation will follow the footstep of Urduja. Lastly, Regal Entertainment and OctoArts have two movies each again.

Narito ang entries sa 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival:

Desperadas, Regal Entertainment; script by Roy Iglesias and direction by Joel Lamangan.

A continuation of the story of four women with the same mother of different fathers, the original stars are back-Ruffa Gutierrez, Rufa Mae Quinto, Iza Calzado, and Marian Rivera—with the addition of a fifth cast, si Eugene Domingo na magpapakilalang kapatid din daw nila.

This will be Ruffa's second movie for the year after My Monster Mom ng Regal and GMA Films; baka fourth ni Rufa Mae after Regal Films' Manay Po 2: Overload, the upcoming I.T.A.L.Y. from GMA Films which will open on August 5, at kung matatapos ang Viva Films movie na Civil Status: Single.

Second movie rin ito ni Iza kung maipalalabas ang Amnesia ng GMA Films at second movie rin ni Marian after last Valentine's hit from Regal and GMA Films na My Best Friend's Girlfriend.

Hindi namin alam kung makakailan ngayon si Eugene. But so far, she has Viva's Ikaw Pa Rin, Regal/GMA Films' My Monster Mom, and GMA Films' I.T.A.L.Y.

Shake, Rattle & Roll X, Regal Entertainment; script from Fairlane Raymundo and Cheryl Ann Narvasa and directors Topel Lee and Mike Tuviera.

Tenth installment na ito ng original festival horror trilogy na nagsimula noong 1984. Wala pang final cast, although nakakarinig na rin kami ng mga pangalan like that of Lovi Poe. This tenth of the series will also have a first; there will be a recurring theme of the No. 10 in the three stories like ten friends, tenth floor, and a third ten something.

Ang Tanging Ina Niyong Lahat, Star Cinema; script by Mel del Rosario and direction by Wenn Deramas.

Ai-Ai delas Alas and Star Cinema's biggest hit on record gets a sequel after five years. Now the president of the country, most of Ai-Ai's original children in the movie will return save for one or two, most notably Heart Evangelista dahil Kapuso star na raw kasi ang dalaga.

Ironically, the eldest sibling na si Marvin Agustin, who plays Uno, is also now an exclusive Kapuso star but will still be part of the cast. Another brother na si Carlo Aquino, who is already a Viva Artist Agency star, is mostly seen sa GMA7.

Pinalitan ni Paula Peralejo si Heart as Portia. Ito ang pagbabalik ni Paula sa pelikula, just like the now-retired Serena Dalrymple as Cate.

Mas malaki na rin ang participation ni Eugene Domingo as Rowena rito, giving the two-time Best Supporting Actress award-winner the privilege of being the only major star to be part of two festival movies.
Escalera Brothers, Octo-Arts/M-Zet Production; script by and direction by Tony Y. Reyes.

After four installments of the old TV series of Vic's Okay Ka Fairy Ko, magpapahinga na muna si Enteng Kabisote to give way to the Escalera and the Ungasis based on the sitcom that launched Tito, Vic &, Joey in 1977, ang Iskul Bukol. Tito, Vic, and Joey will reprise their original roles Tito Escalera, Vic Ungasis, and Joey Escalera, respectively.

Hindi pa raw nababasa ng supervising producer Ms. Malou Choa-Fagar ang final script, so hindi pa sigurado kung makakasama ang ilan sa original cast like Bibeth Orteza, Anthony "Tonette Macho" Roquel, and Mely Tagasa.

Baler, Viva Films; script of Roy Iglesias and direction by Mark Meily.

Submitted as The Siege of Baler, Anne Curtis gets her biggest break in the movies as she stars in a war-time love story based on the siege of Baler, Quezon noong Spanish era. Hinahanapan pa ng leading man si Anne for the movie.

According to producer Veronique del Rosario-Corpuz, tulad ng mga Hollywood movies na Titanic and Pearl Harbor, fiction ang love story but the backdrop of war will be based on historical facts.

The other three official entries with not so much information yet are One Night Only from Canary Films, Magkaibigan from Maverick Films, and Dapo from Cutting Edge.

Last year's Best Actor Jinggoy Estrada will produce and star in Magkaibigan. Dapo will have the distinction naman of being the first all-animation movie accepted for festival entry to be directed by Robert Quilao with Artemio Abad Jr. and Eric Cabahug.

Twelve entries were submitted for this year, so apat lang ang nalaglag: Canary Films' Inocencia, Octo-Arts' Here Comes The Bride, Focus Films' Maldita, and an untitled horror movie from Star Cinema.
