John Lloyd Cruz Reunites with Sarah Geronimo in the Movie ‘It Takes A Man and A Woman’

The record-breaking team up of Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz returns on the big screen.

After the astounding success of their films A Very Special Love and You Changed My Life which earned for them the country’s Box-office King and Queen two consecutive years, John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo are set to reunite in the upcoming movie with the working title “It Takes A Man and A Woman.”

“Oo, excited ako diyan kasi alam ko pong maraming mga supporters na naghihintay na makita kami ulit na magkatrabaho. Pero wala pa po akong naririnig na confirmation from my manager and Star Cinema. Basta ipagpre-pray natin kung ano ma yung will ni God, kung matuloy man yung project,” Sarah revealed.

The news about the Sarah-Lloydie reunion movie came out during the Star Cinema trade launch last June 16. The film outfit of ABS-CBN revealed that a third movie starring Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz has been green-lighted.

Just like in their first two films, “It Takes A Man and A Woman” is going to be directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina. And rumor has it that the movie will also star Gerald Anderson, Sarah’s love interest in the 2011 hit romantic-movie “Catch Me, I’m In Love.”

“Hating Kapatid” – The Making of a Would-Be Blockbuster Film

The people behind Viva Films, the outfit producing the Judy Ann Santos and Sarah Geronimo starrer tentatively titled “Hating Kapatid,” is in full throttle promoting the film, making sure it becomes a major success. Hating Kapatid has the makings of a would-be blockbuster film, and if it becomes a certified one, it will be Sarah’s third consecutive blockbuster movie in a row — a feat only a few Pinoy actor/actress ever achieved. And with Judy Ann in tow, sigurado na ang pagtabo nito sa takilya. Ang hihintayin nalang natin ay kung ilang milyon ang kikitain nito sa box office, at kung gagawa ba ito ng kasaysayan as one of the top Pinoy movies of all time.

Here’s the release that AccessPinoy got from Viva about “Hating Kapatid:”

This early, the local moviedom is celebrating already because of the much-awaited major movie project under Viva Films starring Judy Ann Santos and Sarah Geronimo.

Viva big boss Vic del Rosario is proud of the movie. He said, This is the first time that Juday and Sarah will be seen in a movie. That is a casting coup in itself. But other than the two of them, we also enlisted veteran actress Gina Pareño and Luis Manzano to join the cast. This is big.

The Viva producer also made sure that the movie will have the most excellent production values. Films also tapped the tried-and-tested tandem of Wenn Deramas and Mel Mendoza-del Rosario to direct and write the film, respectively. The biggest movie the two have worked on was the groundbreaking Ang Tanging Ina and its sequel starring Ai-Ai delas Alas.

The Judy Ann-Sarah movie, working title is Hating Kapatid, tells the story of sisters Rica and Cecilia who love each other so much that they are willing to sacrifice even their personal happiness to stay together.

The romance-comedy will make viewers laugh, cry, think, wish to fall and stay in love and realize that family members should be friends, too. Judy Ann and Sarah will showcase their outstanding comedic talents and their ability to make people cry.

But the Judy Ann-Sarah ticket is not the only tandem that people await in their movie. For the first time, Luis will play Sarah’s love interest. Also in the cast is Vice Ganda.

Judy Ann and Sarah bring to the table an unrivaled record of achievements in their respective careers that have made them the biggest stars of their generations.

Judy Ann is an award-winning and multi-nominated film and television actress. Since entering showbiz in 1986, she has appeared in more than 70 blockbuster movies with 12 Best Actress awards. Judy Ann stars on ABS-CBN’s Habang May Buhay.

Sarah, on the other hand, has been acknowledged both by the public and her peers as heir-apparent to concert and recording royalties what with hits and shows. She also has blockbusters You Changed My Life and A Very Special Love with John Lloyd Cruz.

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.

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.

You Change My Life - A Very Special Love Sequel

Due to the success of the Viva Films and Star Cinema co-production “A Very Special Love” which is the no. 1 movie in the country for 2008, they are filming the sequel entitled “You Change My Life.”

“You Change My Life” is the title of Miggy’s (John Lloyd Cruz) love song for Laida (Sarah Geronimo) in A Very Special Love. Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, they are now half-way through the filming of “You Change My Life.”

The original movie - A Very Special Love - earned a whopping P179.23 million at the box-office making it the no. 1 film in the Philippines for the whole year of 2008, even trumping Hollywood films like Iron Man and Twilight. Can they do it again this 2009?

“Wish ko lang po na hindi man nito ma-surpass ang A Very Special Love, mapantayan man lang nito ang kinita ng una naming movie ni John Lloyd,” Sarah’s reaction about the pressure of making the sequel.

A different angle is expected in the story of “You Change My Life”. The couple will be facing their individual problems and a third party will challenge their romantic affair. Playing the third wheel is young actor/dancer Rayver Cruz.

It will be recalled that Rayver is currently being linked to the pop princess. Rayver even guested in Sarah’s ‘The Next One’ concert in Araneta Coliseum last November 8, 2008.

In reaction to this news, Rayver simply said, “Di pa ako nag-i-start pero nakakatuwa naman kung kasali nga. Ang tambalan nila [Sarah and John Lloyd], sobrang lupit. Isang malaking karangalan na mapasama ka dun sa mismong movie nila.”

You Change My Life is set to premiere on February 25, 2009 in theaters nationwide.

Star Cinema's "You Change My Life in a Moment" (AVSL Sequel)

Direk Cathy Garcia-Molina talks about A Very Special Love 2

John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo will soon return to the big screen via the sequel to the very successful movie A Very Special Love (AVSL) under Star Cinema. Nagkaroon ng pagkakataon ang ABS-CBN.com na makausap ang director ng box-office hit na ito na si Cathy Garcia-Molina at binahagi niya sa amin ang ilan sa mga detalye at concept ng post-valentines movie offering ng Star Cinema.

"When we were thinking of the new concept, the mandate of management was to have a similar feel. Siyempre ang expectations mo, mapantayan or malampasan, laging ganoon e. E kung same feel, baka mahirapan kami. So I'd rather na dugtungan siya. Kami ni Tita Malou (Santos, Managing Director of Star Cinema), we were in one in thinking na ang daming possibilities kung sila na. I think its exciting to see kung paano maging mag-lovers itong sina Miggie and Lyda," paliwanag ni Direk Cathy.

Dagdag pa niya, "Practically, since it's a part two, it's a take-off nung mga characters nila noong una. So dito, they are in a relationship na already. They ended part one na naging sila, so we're opening the sequel na sila na."

Aminado si Direk Cathy na medyo kinakabahan na sila kung tatanggapin pa ba ng publiko ang tandem nila Lloydy at Sarah kung medyo matatagalan pa ang pagpapalabas ng kanilang sequel, at nasagot ang kanilang mga pagdududa nang makapanood si Direk Cathy ng concert ni Sarah Geronimo noong November 8.

"Nakakatuwa. Whatever doubts na meron kami, because some say na baka matagal bago sumunod kasi this will air last week of February, baka nakalimutan na yung AVSL Part 1. But with the concert (of Sarah last November 8 at the Araneta Coliseum where she and John Lloyd sang "A Very Special Love"), nabuhayan kami kasi hindi pa namamatay yung kanta sa audience," kuwento ng batikang direktor.

Expected na tatabo na naman sa takilya ang proyektong ito ni Direk Cathy na very humble naman sa pagtanggap sa titulong "box-office director" of her generation. "I don’t know how to react, of course ‘thank you.’ Para kasing ‘pag tinanggap mo nang buong-buo some would say… kasi I've been hearing things na malaki na raw ulo ko. I think inevitable naman na bansagan ako ng ganun. Ayaw ko sanang palakihin at I'd like to believe na hindi pa. ‘Pag hindi ko namang tinanggap it's like saying ‘no’ naman to a grace from God na I'm so blessed na all my films have been supported at tinangkilik ng mga manunuod. Ako all I do now, all I can promise is that in every film that I do, I try to give something new, I try to give my best, kasi yun lang naman ang kaya kong ibigay e, to entertain people," pagtatapos ni Direk.

Target ng Star Cinema na simulan ang shooting ng AVSL Part 2 sa November 27 or 29. Nabalitaan din namin na "You Changed My Life in a Moment" ang magiging theme song ng sequel na ito. Natuwa din kami nang ibalita sa amin ni Direk Cathy na hindi nila tatapatan ang valentine movie ni KC Concepcion bilang pag-rerespeto at pagmamahal ng Star Cinema sa anak ng megastar Sharon Cuneta.

My Only U

The box-office tandem of Vhong Navarro and Toni Gonzaga will grace the silverscreen one more time with "My Only U".

Vhong and Toni's first movie together was the outrageous comedy "D Anothers" in 2005. The Joyce Bernal-helmed movie was a box-office hit.

This time, Star Cinema will bring Toni and Vhong again in the romantic comedy that is part of the film production’s 15th year anniversary offering.

Vhong's previous movies under Star Cinema were “Agent X44″ opposite Mariel Rodriguez and Pokwang; and Supahpapalicious opposite Valerie Concepcion earlier this year.

Toni’s previous movies were “You Are the One”, “You Got Me” and “My Big Love”, with Sam Milby as her leading man.

"My Only U" is helmed by box-office director Cathy Garcia-Molina, the one responsible for the monster hits "One More Chance" starring John LLoyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo; and "A Very Special Love" starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo.
