Fans of Kris Aquino who have been waiting for her to dabble in the independent scene may have to wait a little further as she recently turned down yet another offer. 

The Kris TV host took to Instagram to tackle the subject of the indie that she turned down titled Maratabat (Dangal at Karangalan), whose script she posted online with the caption: “Over the weekend @ramsayderek11 [Derek Ramsay] called me because he had spoken w/ Ms Arlyn [dela Cruz] & he loved her pitch & wanted to connect us because the project felt like a worthwhile challenge. Boy [Abunda] & I met w/ her last night & her script was superb."

The reason why she had to turn it down was, “Unfortunately the movie's production timing is immediate & there's no way to juggle my schedule to make shooting possible."

Nevertheless the Aquino and Abunda Tonight host was grateful to have been considered for the role for, according to her, would have been "memorable" to share the screen with Derek. She added, "Hopefully another opportunity will come. Best of luck to Maratabat!"

Also on the same post, Kris shared that it's actually the second indie project that she had to turn down last year. “I was offered a beautiful, moving & powerful material for an indie film slated to join the Barcelona Film Festival. Last year I was offered an excellent role, but it required me to shave my head," she shared.

The film she was pertaining to was Jun Lana's Barber's Tale, a project which was eventually tackled by Eugene Domingo. 

Young superstar Judy Ann Santos, on the other hand, has recently signed up for an indie project, Marquina, which involves award-winning director-producer Paul Soriano.

Paul happily announced this news in a tweet posted on his account last March 11. "Thank you for the trust @OfficialJuday I'm excited and looking forward! #cinemalaya2014 #mariquina #aFilmbyMiloSogueco #TEN17P," he wrote.

And the Bet on Your Baby replied to this post and said, "@paulsoriano1017 same here boss! :)."

The film will be directed by Milo Sogueco (Sanglaan) and will be shown this coming August as a finalist for the 2014 Cinemalaya Film Festival, New Breed Category.

According to reports, Mariquina is a tale about Marikina shoes and shoemakers and will revolve around finding oneself and gaining acceptance and forgiveness.

Star Cinema movies for 2013

http://lionheartv.net/2013/01/star-cinema-movies-for-2013.html

If you think, ABS-CBN Film Productions, Inc (commonly known as Star Cinema) has done so many movies in 2012, I think, there will be more for 2013 for the company will celebrate its 20th anniversary!

Star Cinema is the most active local film outfit in offering different movies every year. Star Cinema continue to dominate the movie industry as it produces the top-grossing movies in all time box-office history and some of the most applauded movies here and abroad.

Here are some of Star Cinema's 20th anniversary offerings for this year:

"A Moment in Time"

"It Takes A Man And A Woman"

Kathryn Bernardo - Daniel Padilla launching movie

John Lloyd Cruz replaces Piolo Pascual in Star Cinema’s “Undo”

The upcoming Star Cinema movie Undo seemed to have lost its original choice of actors playing the lead roles. The movie which revolves around the pains of going through an annulment was originally intended for Kris Aquino and Piolo Pascual.



The multimedia queen, however, said in August that the movie was already cancelled, but later reports revealed that it will still push through with Judy Ann Santos taking over the role originally intended for Kris.

And when we thought there would be a Judy Ann-Piolo movie next year, news came out that Piolo will not be in the movie anymore. The name of John Lloyd Cruz popped up as his replacement.

I wonder, though, if Aryana star Ella Cruz will also be replaced in the role of the daughter.

Chito S. Roño is directing the movie which, based on the storyline alone, will be a heavy drama. The inclusion of John Lloyd and Judy Ann in the movie made it more exciting. They are two of the most sensitive actors in local showbiz and they are known to have been very effective in the roles they portray.

Meanwhile, John Lloyd is seen weeknights in the teleserye A Beautiful Affair where he showcases his superb acting skills. Judy Ann, on the other hand, is seen weekday mornings hosting the cooking game show MasterChef Pinoy Edition.

ABS-CBN's Christmas Station ID lights up Yuletide season

MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN launches its much-awaited Christmas Station ID tonight after TV Patrol following other viral and popular music videos released by the Kapamilya network over the past years such as the very successful Bro, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko in 2009.

With the theme Lumiliwanag ang Mundo sa Kwento ng Pasko, this year’s Station ID highlights how the Filipino spirit always shines through despite calamities that ravage our country.

“It shows how each Filipino become bearers of light, as they help their countrymen get back on their feet, and how they remain resilient because kindness never runs out in this nation filled with people who are always ready and willing to help,” said Robert Labayen, head of creative communications management.

According to Labayen, many scenes in the Station ID are inspired by real events. Some of these stories happened at the height of the habagat — a fireman who saved the lives of those stranded in their own homes; a chef who opened the doors of his restaurant to feed victims; a young woman who offered her own jacket to a street child who was suffering under the cold rain; Philippine coast guards who went out of their way to save lives; even volunteers and civilians who selflessly offered their time and energy to relief work.

These simple stories of heroism set apart this year’s campaign as it encourages viewers to share the light through these heroic deeds. Modern-day heroes involved in these stories bravely and selflessly spread the light during past calamities thus, the Station ID aims to inspire and shed light on more Filipinos to do the same.

This year’s offering features hundreds of Kapamilya stars paying tribute to ordinary Filipino heroes, at the same time helping spread the light across the globe.

The parol, a Pinoy Christmas icon, is this year’s Christmas Station ID centerpiece. Film director John-D Lazatin suggested the idea of having kids orphaned during Typhoon Sendong design a parol. This, in turn, is used as an instrument of light spreading around the world.

“When we own the Kapamilya parol, we’re not only spreading the light, we’re also being part of an effort to help our disaster- affected Kapamilya, as proceeds from the parol sales would be donated to Sagip Kapamilya, the ABS-CBN Foundation that provides relief to affected communities of disasters, as well as engage in rehabilitation and disaster risk reduction projects,” said Lazatin.

The Kapamilya parol will be retailed in SM Kultura and ABS-CBN Studio Store. It can also be ordered online through abscbnstore.multiply.com.

The Station ID song Kwento ng Pasko was performed by an ensemble of ABS-CBN artists — Sarah Geronimo, Martin Nievera, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Vina Morales, Billy Crawford, Angeline Quinto, Yeng Constantino, Erik Santos, Jed Madela, Christian Bautista, Bugoy Drilon, Marcelito Pomoy, Jovit Baldivino, Aiza Seguerra, Richard Poon, Juris, Princess, Sitti, Kean Cipriano, Bamboo, kid singers from ABS-CBN Star Magic, X Factor Philippines grand winner KZ Tandingan, Daniel Padilla and Piolo Pascual. This year’s Christmas anthem was written by Labayen together with Johnny delos Santos, Patrick de Leon and Ira Zabat. Music is by Marcus and Amber Davis.

The Christmas Station ID and the Kapamilya Parol selling are part of ABS-CBN’s nationwide Christmas campaign. Other component of the campaign include the Kapamilya Simbang Gabi, viewer promo, and the annual Christmas special.

The Station ID is directed by Paolo Ramos with Peewee Gonzales. It will also be aired on Studio 23, DZMM TeleRadyo, ANC, Lifestyle Network, Cinema One, MYX, Hero TV, Velvet, Balls and Digital TV channels.

Daan-daang Kapamilya stars ang magpupugay sa mga makabagong ba­yaning Pinoy sa station ID.

Gagawin muling simbulo ang parol para kumatawan sa ilaw na magpapaliwanag sa mundo ngayong Kapaskuhan.

Ipapalabas din ang Xmas station ID ngayong gabi sa Studio 23, DZMM TeleRadyo, ANC, Lifestyle Network, Cinema One, MYX, Hero TV, Velvet, Balls at Digital TV channels.

KRIS AQUINO, VICE GANDA, at AI AI DELAS ALAS Makakabangga Sina VIC SOTTO, JUDY ANN SANTOS, at BONG REVILLA

http://showbiztop.blogspot.com/2012/10/kris-aquino-vice-ganda-at-ai-ai-delas.html


Muling makakasama ang Queen of All Media na si Ms. Kris Aquino sa Metro Manila Film Festival entry nang Star Cinema na 'SISTERAKA". Matatandaan na noong nakaraan buwan ay nag back-out siya sa pelikula due of her health reasons. Pero ngayon nga ay mulingkinumpirma nang sikat na actress na muli syang makakasama sa pelikula, pero iba na ang gagampanan niyang role.

Sa unang pag kakataon ay gaganap siyang kontrabida sa kanyang friendship na si Ms. Ai Ai Delas Alas. Yung role ni Ai Ai ang dapat role ni Kris pero nag paubaya na si Kris sa kanyang kaibigan.

Kasama din sa pelikula si Vice Ganda, na napabalitang meron hindi pag kakaunawaan sa isa sa mga bida nang pelikula na si Ai Ai. Ngunit pinasinungalingan ito nang dalwa, dahil sobrang okey sila. Kung ano man ang naging problema noon ay wala na ito.

Ang pelikulang "SISTERAKA" nina AI AI DELAS ALAS, KRIS AQUINO, at VICE GANDA ang sa tingin namin makakalaban at makakatapat sa Box Office nang pelikulang pag sasamahan nina VIC SOTTO, BONG REVILLA Jr. at JUDY ANN SANTOS na meron title na "Si ENTENG, Si AGIMAT at Si AKO"

Anong pelikula ang sa tingin nyong mag nunumber 1 ngayon sa MMFF???
