GMA Films: DAGAW ( Starring Richard Gutierrez,Jewel Mische, and Marvin Agustin)

Richard Gutierrez and Dingdong Dantes to co-star in a horror flick
Allan Diones


Nakatakdang magsama sa isang pelikula ng GMA Films ang top matinee idols ng GMA-7 na sina Richard Gutierrez at Dingdong Dantes.

Kinumpirma ito ni Richard nang makausap siya ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) last Saturday night, July 7, sa Conspiracy bar on Visayas Avenue, Quezon City, during his official launch bilang spokesperson ng environmental group na Greenpeace here in the Philippines.

According to Richard, isang horror movie ang gagawin nila ni Dingdong to be directed by multi-awarded director Chito Roño.

"I'm excited!" bulalas ni Richard. "Siyempre, Chito Roño ‘yon, di ba? Wow! Kumbaga, he's like a living legend," papuri niya sa direktor ng blockbuster horror flicks like Feng Shui and Sukob.

Excited din si Richard that he'll be working for the first time with Dingdong. Naalala niya na may short fight scenes sila together in Mulawin The Movie (2005) wherein nag-merge ang story ng Mulawin at Encantadia na parehong hit fantasy series ng GMA-7.

Dingdong was part of Encantadia as the warrior king Ybarro/Ybrahim while Richard was the main star of Mulawin as the winged hero Aguiluz.

Richard told PEP na na-inform na siya about the project but no details yet kung anong title nito, story, at sinu-sino ang bubuo sa cast. Ang alam daw niya ay silang dalawa ni Dingdong ang bida at may dalawa silang girls na makakasama.

Wala pa ring definite date as to when they would start the movie, pero ngayon pa lang ay looking forward na rito si Richard.

Unang narinig ng PEP ang naturang project from Dingdong, who mentioned in his solo press con for the movie Angels recently na may nilulutong pelikula ang GMA Films for him and Richard.

Wala pa ring mai-share na detalye that time si Dingdong, ang nabanggit niya lang ay it's gonna be a horror flick with Chito as director.

ANGEL LOCSIN. Samantala, kinumpirma rin ni Richard ang ibinalita ng PEP na dinalaw siya ni Angel Locsin sa taping ng Lupin last Wednesday, July 4, before Angel left for the States to attend the US screenings of Angels.

"Oo, dumaan siya sa set namin, na-surprise nga ako, e!" nakangiting sabi ng heartthrob. "Na-touch kaming lahat na kami ‘yung last stop niya before she left. Nakakatuwa lang na dumaan si Angel at nagpaalam sa amin.

"But it was really just a light moment. It wasn't like a formal goodbye or whatever. Light lang, kuwentuhan lang, catch up on things, ganu'n lang," paglilinaw niya.

Na-miss daw ba siya ni Angel kaya siya dinalaw nito sa set?

"Ayoko namang sabihin ‘yon, di ba?" tawa niya. "Actually, hindi lang naman siya sa akin nagpaalam. It was more like for everyone... To my director in Lupin, si Direk Mike [Tuviera], close din kasi si Angel kay Direk Mike and to our executive producer. So, it was more for everyone. I don't wanna take the credit for it."

Kasunod nito ay itinanggi rin ni Richard ang isyung may movie project na ino-offer sa kanya si Angel for her own film company Eagle Eye Productions. They didn't talk daw anything about work at talagang light lang ang naging pag-uusap nila.

LUPIN. By the way, tonight ang start ng lipat-timeslot ng Lupin, na mapapanood na pagkatapos ng Mga Mata ni Anghelita sa GMA Telebabad, taking over the former timeslot of Impostora.

Paliwanag ng star ng Lupin, "It has nothing to do with the ratings. We're doing good and we're very happy with our timeslot.

"Actually, ‘yung timeslot ng Lupin na late night, first time na it became number one for a long time. So, we're very happy with it, pero meron kaming mga concerns. According to studies and surveys kasi, ni-launch ang Lupin, summer break. So, the kids were able to watch it all the time.

"Pero ngayon, may pasok na sila sa school kaya masyado nang late para sa mga bata. Pati mismo ‘yung mga kakilala ko, minsan tulog na o minsan ayaw na nilang payagan ‘yung mga anak nila na manood.

"At saka kung medyo adult at sexy dati ‘yung show namin, ngayon, gagawin naming more for kids. It's surprising nga, kasi ang crowd ng Lupin, e, for all ages.

"May matanda, may bata, may lalake, may babae. It's for everyone. So, susubukan ng GMA kung mas magiging effective kami sa timeslot na ‘yon and I believe it's gonna be effective," confident na pahayag ni Richard.

Star Cinema's LOVE IN HEAVEN - ANGEL LOCSIN & AGA MUHLACH

Finally, Star Cinema confirmed that Love Me Again had been very successful on its box office result especially on its first day of showing because it grossed more than 15 Million. Angel Locsin was very ecstatic with the result of her first movie under Star Cinema. Then, she gladly says that after this movie she will be having a movie with Aga Muhlach, entitled Love in Heaven. It is expected to be shown on theaters this late 2009 under Star Cinema.

Aga, excited kay Angel
By: Nel Alejandrino
MORE Christmas wishes.

Aga Muhlach – In a recent conversation with him, we asked Aga what he would want most for Christmas.

Ang sagot niya: “For the years, yes, years, I feel so blessed na so much so, whatever other blessings na dumarating sa akin at sa aking pamilya ngayon, I considered bonuses na lang.

“Napakabait sa akin ng Diyos. Sa aking pamilya. Every day na lang, ’di ko siya nakakalimutang pasalamatan.

“OA man itong ituring. Pero ang pinaka-utmost wish na puwede kong hilingin for Christmas ay for the much-talked about financial crisis sa buong mundo ay ’di gaanong makaapekto sa ating mga Pilipino. Lalo na sa ating mga taga-industriya. As it is, hirap na nga tayo.

“Sana, for the year, 2009, makabangon tayo. Lalo na ang industriyang mahal nating lahat.”

Told that in an interview with Angel Locsin, during the one-on-one interview with her after the presscon of Love Me Again, her first movie with Star Cinema with Piolo Pascual, Angel expressed excitement over the prospect of doing a project with him, ani Aga: “Tell her, the feeling is mutual.”

As it is, Star Cinema has already told Aga they want him na gumawa ng two movies in 2009.

“Sagot ko sa kanila, game ako,” tugon ni Aga.

‘Love Me Again’ 2 Weeks Gross is P53.2 Million

The Star Cinema movie Love Me Again (Land Down Under) starring Angel Locsin and Piolo Pascual has grossed P53.2 million on its 2nd week, similar to the 2-weeks gross of the GMA/Regal movie One True Love.

Last week, Love Me Again topped Philippine Box-Office by raking in P29.48 million beating Hollywood films debuting at the same period like Bride Wars, Changeling and the Haunting of Molly Hartley.

Love Me Again is at the same pace as the movie One True Love last year. The Marian Rivera-Dingdong Dantes movie also registered P53.2 Million on its 2nd week of screening.

For further comparison, let’s check the Hollywood movies that Love Me Again and One True Love have pitted during their screenings.

One True Love succumbed to the Hollywood monster hit movie Twilight which premiered on its second week of running. Twilight hit a whopping P84.6 million at the Philippine Box-Office on the weekend of Nov. 26-30, 2008, the same period One True Love is running on its second week. Quantum of Solace was also running at that time. Please take note that Twilight became the top-grossing Hollywood movie in the Philippines for the whole year of 2008 and the latest James Bond film was one of the Top 10.

Love Me Again, on the other hand, succumbed to another vampire movie Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. It was also pitted against Jim Carrey’s Yes Man, Adam Sandler’s Bedtime Stories and Brad Pitt’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. But the box-office gross of these films, even combined, cannot match the one-week gross of Twilight.

This analysis is for the sake of argument as the two romantic films One True Love and Love Me Again both hit the two-weeks gross P53.2 million using the conversion rate on the time these movies were shown.

Philippine Box Office
(January 21 to 25, 2009)

1. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans - P19.58 M
2. Love Me Again - P11.71 M
3. Yes Man - P7.01 M
4. Bedtime Stories - P4.64 M
5. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - P4.11 M
6. Bride Wars - P3.15 M
7. Transporter 3 - P2.21 M
8. The Abandoned - P1.23 M
9. The Haunting of Molly Hartley - P1.19 M
10. Changeling - P0.27 M
