Also featured in the film are similarly interesting characters of a seaman and a loan shark.

Vilma Santos, Luis Manzano & John Lloyd Cruz - ‘In My Life’

In My Life is the final title of John Lloyd Cruz, Luis Manzano and Gov. Vilma Santos‘ upcoming movie from Star Cinema.

Formerly known with the working title “A Mother’s Story”, the movie highlights the comeback of the Star for all Seasons in the silver screen. Even before they started shooting the film, it has been controversial because of the report that there will be a lips-to-lips “kissing scene” between John Lloyd Cruz and Luis Manzano who will portray a gay couple.

Vilma plays the overweight Shirley who owns a pet cat named Kiki in “In My Life.” Luis Manzano and Dimples Romana play her son and daughter. John Lloyd Cruz is Luis’ gay lover. She wears a fat suit in the movie, giving her a totally different look from all the movies she had done.

Aside from the movie, ABS-CBN will air a one month television special called “In My Life” prior to the premiere of “In My Life the Movie.” It will feature Vima’s career as a multi-awarded actress, a showbiz icon, a well-loved politician and a loving mother.

The fourth week will feature behind-the-scenes exclusive features on the making of the film and the three-week shoot in New York. It will be the final episode culminating in a live press conference to be held at the Dolphy Theatre.

In My Life is directed by Olive Lamasan and co-written by Raymond Lee and Senedy Que. No playdate is announced as of yet.

Star Cinema’s ‘And I Love You So’ Banned in All SM Cinemas?

Star Cinema’s latest offering “And I Love You So” starring Bea Alonzo, Derek Ramsay and Sam Milby is now showing in all theaters nationwide EXCEPT SM Cinemas.

The Laurenti Dyogi romantic drama had a very successful premiere night at the Trinoma Mall Cinema in Quezon City last night, August 11, 2009.

In the past, SM Megamall Cinemas (particularly Cinema 9 and 10) were the venue for all Star Cinema movie premiere nights. But why Trinoma Cinema this time?

SM Megamall Cinema 10 was supposedly the venue for the movie’s premiere night as announced by Star Cinema through its multiply site but the site’s content says otherwise (see Google search result below).

Watch the report of Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino Tuesday night on Showbiz News Ngayon making it very clear that And I Love You So is opening today in more than 100 theaters nationwide EXCEPT SM Cinemas. They announced the list of theaters where the public can watch the movie and not even 1 SM cinema was mentioned.

The two hosts did not make any comment regarding the matter. When Boy Abunda mentioned “…EXCEPT SM Cinemas”, Kris Aquino could only mutter “Oh, Oh.”

SM Supermall is an avid sponsor of various GMA shows. Their condominium is being endorsed by Darna star Marian Rivera. Is the network war behind this matter?

Star Cinema, on the other hand, said they will release an official statement regarding this matter any time from now.

Here’s the video clip:

‘Sundo’ Tops RP Box-Office with P17.98 M, ‘You Changed My Life’ Hits P216.3 M

Directed by Topel Lee (Ouija), Sundo received a grade of “B” from the Cinema Evaluation Board. It is rated PG by the MTRCB because of some violent scenes not suitable for children.

It is a story about a retired military operative who goes into seclusion and discovers that he has the uncanny ability of seeing ghosts around people who will soon encounter sudden, disastrous deaths.

It stars Robin Padilla, Sunshine Dizon, Rhian Ramos, Hero Angeles, Mark Bautista and Katrina Halili.

The Star Cinema movie You Changed My Life, on the other hand, raked-in P11.29 million last weekend for a total 4-week gross of P216.3 Million, the highest top-grosser in Philippine history!

Maricel Soriano Stars in T2 (Tenement 2)

The Diamond Star Maricel Soriano topbills Star Cinema’s 3rd offering for 2009 - a horror movie entitled “T2.”

In the tradition of horror films such as Feng Shui and Sukob, Star Cinema finally brings back the box-office director of horror movies, Mr. Chito Roño in his next horror movie project in the said film outfit.

The story is about a young girl (played by Mika dela Cruz, younger sister of actress Angelika dela Cruz) who lost her parents and then meets Claire (Maricel Soriano), a volunteer worker in an NGO for orphans. She is assigned to take Mica to some living relatives. She’s married to Derek Ramsay.

Also starring in Tenement 2 are Tetchie Agbayani, Camille Prats, Kai Brosas (as their neighbors in the tenement) and Eric Fructuoso (as Maricel’s driver).

According to Chito Roño, T2 is his most expensive horror film yet because of special effects. The last 11 minutes are all CGI set in the other world.

According to reports, John Lloyd Cruz and Malaysian actress Carmen Soo will have cameo roles in the movie.

Tenement 2 is Maricel Soriano’s fifth film with director Chito Roño and will hit theaters nationwide on April 11, 2009.

‘You Changed My Life’ Hits P100 Million Before 7 Days

Star Cinema’s “You Changed My Life” starring box-office king and queen John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo hits a record-breaking P27 million last Saturday to be on track of surpassing the P100 million mark on its first week of screening.

Today, March 3, is the 7th day of screening concluding the first week run of the romantic comedy helmed by Cathy Garcia-Molina. On it’s first day alone, You Changed My Life has earned an estimate of P18 million (without padding) according to Star Cinema Booking and Distribution Department.

Although the film outfit did not reveal the box-office outcome for Thursday, Friday and Sunday, they are optimistic that the movie will hit P100 million in box-office receipts on Monday.

Based from the public’s overwhelming response in theaters across the country last weekend, You Changed My Life is on track to surpass the earning of A Very Special Love, the no. 1 movie of 2008. The first John Lloyd Cruz-Sarah Geronimo starrer has grossed a total of P180 million.

Lead star John Lloyd Cruz and director Cathy Garcia Molina are both in the United States for the film’s screening there. SNN reported Monday night that the US screening was very successful as the tickets were all sold out in Los Angeles.

“Ang nakakalungkot may mga grupo na lumapit sa amin. From Arizona pa sila…hindi na sila nakapanood,” John Lloyd Cruz said.

After the successful launch of his tv series “Totoy Bato” on GMA, Robin Padilla will now star in the upcoming horror movie Sundo.

Also starring in Sundo are Sunshine Dizon as Louella, Romano’s childhood friend who harbors affection for him; Rhian Ramos as Isabel, Romano’s younger sister; Katrina Halili as Kristina; Hero Angeles as Eric, Mark Bautista as Baste; and Glydel Mercado as Lumen.

Gist: Seven passengers on a trip to Manila escape death and their respective “sundo” by a twist of fate. Soon, they realize that the price they have to pay for gambling with the spirit of tragedy is the hardest and most ruthless battle they will ever come to face.

‘You Changed My Life’ Receives a Grade of “A” from CEB

The romantic comedy movie starring Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz is the sequel to the no. 1 Pinoy film of 2008, A Very Special Love, which also received a grade of “A” from CEB last year.

Also starring in You Changed My Life are Rayver Cruz, Dante Rivero, Rowell Santiago, Joross Gamboa, Matet de Leon, Gio Alvarez, Bernard Palanca, Beverly Salviejo and Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski.

Last night, the premiere of You Changed My Life was successfully held at SM Megamall cinemas 9 and 10. Thousands of Sarah and John Lloyd fans flocked the ground floor to the third floor of the mall to see their idols walk through the escalators to the cinema.

Sarah Geronimo demonstrated the “power hug” with John Lloyd Cruz as a request by Phoemela Barranda who is covering the said event. Also present in the premiere night are Rayver Cruz, director Cathy Garcia-Molina and the rest of the cast.

The grand opening of You Changed My Life is today in more than 100 theaters nationwide.

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.
