Tanging Ina, Iskul Bukol Top MMFF’s 1st Day Earnings

According to the box-office report from the festival insider, Star Cinema’s entry to this year’s MMFF - “Ang Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat” - leads 1st day earnings.

Ang Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat is the sequel to the no. 1 all-time box-office hit “Ang Tanging Ina” which was shown in 2003. The movie is topbilled by Ai Ai delas Alas and Eugene Domingo among others and directed by Wenn de Ramas for Star Cinema.

There are early predictions that the Ai Ai delas Alas-starrer will lead the box-office race and it looks like it’s heading to reality as tickets for the Star Cinema movie were sold out in some SM Cinemas. The said comedy film is rated G by the MTRCB for the whole family to enjoy.

Running in second place is Iskul Bukol: 20 Years After. Tito, Vic and Joey reprises their role in the film adaptation of their hit tv sitcom 20 years ago. Directed by Tony Reyes, expect to catch several stars making a cameo in the movie including Bong Revilla Jr., Manny Pacquiao and Sharon Cuneta.

In 3rd place is the 10th installment of the popular horror franchise Shake, Rattle and Roll. The Regal Films entry is topbilled by Gerald Anderson, Kim Chiu and Marian Rivera.

On the other hand, two entries received the highest grade of “A” for excellence in filmmaking from the Cinema Evaluation Board. The Viva Films entry “Baler” and the Jinggoy Estrada-Christopher de Leon starrer “Magkaibigan” will be exempted from paying amusement tax to the government for receiving the “A” grade. Apparently, “Baler” badly needed the tax exemption because according to reports, it is the highest-budgeted film among the 8 entries of the Metro Manila Film Festival this year.

The Awards Night is happening on December 27. Among the 8 entries, Magkaibigan and Baler are expected to haul trophies including Best Picture. Unless, another surprise is in store.

The Metro Manila Film Festival will run from December 25, 2008 to January 7, 2009 in theaters nationwide.

Wenn Deramas: Busiest director in town

Mataas ang energy level ng direktor na si Wenn Deramas nang bisitahin siya ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa first shooting day ng bago niyang pelikula na Pasukob under OctoArts Films. This is the frist time na gumawa siya ng project sa produksiyon na pag-aari ni Orly Ilacad. Reunion movie rin ito nina Ai-Ai delas Alas at Rufa Mae Quinto pagkatapos ng Booba (2001).

"Okay na okay ang first shooting day namin. Magaan ang shooting namin at walang hassle. Higit sa lahat, all-out ang support ni Boss Orly sa project," masayang pahayag ni Direk Wenn.

Simula pa lang daw ito ng maraming pelikula na pagsasamahan nila sa OctoArts, ayon na rin kay Boss Orly. May playdate na ang Pasukob on November 28. Pagkatapos nito, may isa pang nakapila agad na project si Direk Wenn sa OctoArts Films.

"Eto ‘yung movie nina Juday [Judy Ann Santos] at Ryan [Agoncillo] na pang-filmfest sana ng Octo. Actually, na-approve ang script namin sa [MMFF] committee, kaya lang may ruling sila na isang movie lang dapat bawat bidang artista. E, may Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo na sila sa Star Cinema, so, ‘yung sa amin baka next year na," kuwento ni Direk Wenn, na ang tinutukoy ay ang project na Mister Housewife.

Tinatapos na rin ni Direk Wenn ang isa pa niyang pelikula under Viva Films, ang Four In One starring Rufa Mae, Pokwang, Candy Pangilinan, at Eugene Domingo. Natapos na niyang i-shoot ang mga eksena sa Hong Kong ng apat na artista niiya bilang mga domestic helpers.

After this movie, hinahanda na ni Direk Wenn ang launching movie ng "lucky charm" niya na si Eugene bilang matandang dalaga na may titulong Demetria.

By November, balik Star Cinema si Direk Wenn. Masaya niyang ibinalita na okay na ulit sila ng Star Cinema. Ipinatawag siya ng managing director ng film arm ng ABS-CBN na si Ms. Malou Santos. Hindi itinanggi ni Direk Wenn na nagtampo siya sa Star Cinema pagkatapos ng Ang Cute Ng Ina Mo.

"Nagtampo talaga ako noon," pag-amin niya. "Pero ngayon naayos na. Hindi man nadagdagan ‘yung bonus ko, idinagdag naman nila sa talent fee ko. Kung magkano ‘yung talent fee ko outside Star Cinema, ganun na rin ang rate ko sa kanila."

Gagawin na ni Direk Wenn ang long-overdue na sequel sa monster hit na Ang Tanging Ina nila ni Ai-Ai na pinamagatang Ang Tanging Ina Ninyong Lahat. Ayaw munang i-reveal ni Direk Wenn kung bakit ganito ang titulo ng sequel nila. Magsisimula raw sila ng shooting ni Ai-Ai sa Star Cinema right after ng Pasukob.

Mamayang gabi ay matatapos ang isa sa dalawang teleserye ni Direk Wenn sa ABS-CBN, ang Walang Kapalit nina Piolo Pascual at Claudine Barretto. Pero hindi pa man nagtatapos ang Walang Kapalit ay naplantsa na ang usapan sa panibagong programa na gagawin niya for ABS-CBN.

"It's another fantaserye at isang remake ulit. Mas bongga sa Kokey. Gagawin namin ni Ai-Ai ang Volta: The Series sa ABS-CBN," kuwento ni Direk Wenn.

On September 15 ay magse-celebrate ng kanyang birthday si Direk Wenn. Wish niya ay kumita ang lahat pelikula niya sa mga sinehan.
