Pagkatapos ng Temptation Island, pelikulang pagtatambalan nila ni Aga Muhlach ang gagawin ni Marian Rivera.


Pero tatapusin muna nito ang shooting ng Panday 2 nila ni Sen. Bong Revilla, kaya mga September na sisimulan ang shooting ng Aga movie.

Nakipag-meeting na ang actor kina Mother Lily Monteverde, Roselle Monteverde-Teo at Atty. Annette Gozon-Abrogar dahil co-produced ang wala pang title na pelikula ng Regal Entertainment at GMA Films.

Alam na rin ni Marian ang tungkol sa movie project nila ni Aga dahil itinawag ito ng Regal sa manager ng aktres na si Popoy Caritativo noong nasa Amerika ang talent manager.

Sa balitang gagawa ng pelikula si Marian kapareha si Robin Padilla, baka next year na ito gawin.

Sobrang worth it daw ang pagod nina Aga Muhlach at Angel Locsin para sa kanilang upcoming movie, ang In The Name Of Love na ipapalabas sa May 11. Aminado ang dalawang malaking artista na hindi biro ang pinagdaanan nilang hirap sa pag-shoot ng kanilang movie para siguraduhing maganda ang kalalabasan nito.

“We didn’t realize, I didn’t realize that it’s gonna be this hard,” pag-amin ni Aga. “Ngayon lang ako gumawa ng pelikula na talagang mahirap, ang hirap talaga.” Ayon pa sa dalawa, kailangan nilang sumayaw para sa pelikula na hindi naman talaga nila ginagawa. “Hindi po talaga ako marunong sumayaw, hindi talaga,” pagbabahagi ni Angel sa panayam niya sa The Buzz.

“Nung binasa ko ‘yung script halos lahat ng ayaw kong gawin, (na) ‘di ako comfortable gawin, kailangan kong gawin sa pelikulang ito. Ganun siya kahirap for me.” Umaasa na lang daw ang aktres na sana ay nagawa niya nang mabuti ang ipinagawa sa kanya. Dagdag naman ni Aga, “Kailangan pa naming i-rehearse ‘yung mga sayaw, kailangang mag-rehearse (ng) mga sayaw na napakahirap na hindi talaga namin ginagawa sa buhay namin.” Mahirap din daw na habang sumasayaw ay kailangang mag-project pa ng emosyon.

Kapwa naman inamin ng dalawa na karangalan ang makatrabaho nila ang isat-isa lalo na si Angel na inaming pinangarap niya noong bata na makatrabaho si Aga. Ang nasabing pelikula ay ang 18th anniversary offering ng Star Cinema at idinirehe ni Direk Olivia Lamasan.

Five years in the making at mahigit isang daang milyong piso ang ginastos sa kauna-unahang full length 3D animated feature film na RPG Metanoia na kasali sa MMFF. Ang Ambient Media, Star Cinema at Thaumatrope Animation ang nag-produce nito.

Sa presscon ng movie, pinapanood sa press ang full trailer ng movie at ang 5 minutes na simula ng movie.

Kamangha-mangha ang pagkakagawa ng animation, action scenes at mga characters at lalong magiging proud ang mga Pinoy dahil kababayan nating lahat ang gumawa nito, huh!

“With RPG, we will definitely put the Philippines in the map of 3D animation!” pagmamalaki ng isa sa producers ng movie.

Sa simula, hindi talaga kami maka-identify sa movie dahil hindi nga kami mahilig sa computer games. After explaining ang ibig sabihin ng RPG na role playing game gaya ng counterstrike at iba pa, at ang metanoia ay change, aba, nagkaroon kami ng interes na panoorin ang movie, huh!

Eh, mga sikat na artista pa ang nagbigay ng boses sa ibang karakter sa RPG gaya nina Aga Muhlach, Eugene Domingo at Vhong Navarro na sinamahan ng Kapamilya child stars na sina Zaijian “Santino” Jaranilla bilang bidang si Nico/Zero, plus Mika dela Cruz, Aaron Junatas, Basty Alcanses at Jairus Aquino, kaya naman maaakit ang mga batang panoorin ang movie.

Angel Locsin is taking a leave from her upcoming ABS-CBN teleserye Imortal where she co-stars with John Lloyd Cruz, to fly to Japan to shoot parts of her movie with Aga Muhlach. When reporters interviewed Angel on the set of Imortal prior to her departure for Japan, she admitted that there have been times when she would get confused about her characters in the teleserye and in the movie. “Mahirap talaga. Minsan nga nadadala ko ‘yung character [sa set ng Imortal]. Napapaisip tuloy ako, ‘Sino ba ako ngayon?!’ Ha ha ha! Mga Sisa moments ko!”

Angel’s character in the movie entitled Huling Sayaw, is a Pinay entertainer in Japan. The film will be directed by Olive Lamasan who also helmed last year’s box office hit In My Life which was headlined by Vilma Santos. Angel said she feels blessed about the chance to work with Direk Olive. “Sobrang happy ko na nabigyan ako ng opportunity na makatrabaho si Inang (Director Lamasan’s nickname). Napakagaling niya. Lahat ng artistang mahawakan niya sobrang blessed.”

The young actress revealed that Direk Olive can be very strict on the set, but her methods only bring out the best in any actor. “Matatakot ka sa kanya sa una. Mapapagalitan ka, sure ‘yun. Pero marami kang matututunan sa kanya. Mapapa-level up ka dahil sa kanya. Kailangan mo siyang tapatan. Magaling siya sa puyatan, sa lahat.”

Angel is also excited about being Aga’s new leading lady. In the course of shooting Huling Sayaw, Angel learned about moer about the actor. “SiKuya Aga kapag kausap mo napaka-pleasant. Titingnan mo siya, pangiti ngiti lang. Pero kapag nakausap mo na, may lalim. Ang dami niyang alam tungkol sa buhay. ‘Yung mga bagay na hindi basta basta maishe-share sa iyo ng ibang artista. Hindi rin kasi siya madamot sa kwento.”

Nagkita na ang bagong tambalan sa pelikula mula sa Star Cinema na sina Aga Muhlach at Angel Locsin sa kanilang dance rehearsal last February 25, Thursday. May mga eksena raw kasi sa movie kung saan sasayaw sila ni Angel kaya naman excited na si Aga na magtrabaho ang bago niyang leading lady. “Kailangan kasi sa movie ‘yung mga sayaw. May mga dance number. Tungkol kasi sa ganu’n ‘yung movie. Magsisimula kaming mag-shoot on March 15,” bungad ni Aga.

Bakit kailangan ng dance numbers sa movie nila ni Angel? “Basta, iba, iba talaga. Senswal. It’s a sensual movie. It’s dark.” Ibig sabihin marami silang daring scenes ni Angel sa movie? “Yes, I think so. Olive Lamasan is going to direct the movie. Sabi ni Olive, kung gagawa siya ulit sa akin, she wants something different.”

Ano naman ang reaksyon niya na iisa na lang din ang manager nila ngayon ni Angel na si Ethel Ramos? “Oo nga, e. At least hindi malulungkot si Tita Ethel. Kasi parang nahihirapan na siya na kontakin ako,” sabay tawa ni Aga. Dagdag pa niya. “So, ang kukulitin na niya ngayon si Angel. Hahaha!”

Malapit na ring mapanood ulit si Aga sa telebisyon. This time, ang Comedy Concert Queen na si Ai-Ai de las Alas ang magiging kapareha niya for the first time. “Tama, hahaha! Siyempre, excited na ako to work with Ai-Ai. Ako nga ang nagpipilit sa kanya ‘no… Oo, ako ang nagsabi talaga, si Ai-Ai gusto ko makasama. Sinadyes ko talaga. Matagal na kasi kaming gagawa sana ng movie noon, hindi matuluy-tuloy. So, sabi ko, sa TV na lang. Kasama ko rin si Bea (Alonzo). Kaya ako, si Bea at si Ai-Ai.”

Kung anong klaseng show ito ay ayaw pa ibulgar ni Aga. “Basta, serious ito, serious. Hindi ito sitcom. Serious ‘to. It’s a serious show na once a week lang lalabas for six months. But it’s not a sitcom. Iba siya, It’s like ‘yung American shows, ‘yung once a week na show. Parang ‘yung Grey’s Anatomy once a week, continuous… It’s very light, it’s nice, and it’s heartwarming. Iba naman. Hindi katulad nu’ng ibang shows.”

Tila naiba din ang unang pasya ni Aga na ayaw niyang gumawa ng TV drama. “Hindi naman sa ayaw, kasi once a week pa rin naman siya. ‘Tsaka hindi naman drama ito. It’s called a series lang. Parang drama, it’s serious, meaning it’s not slapstick. So it’s warm, it’s heartwarming, nakakatawa, nakakatuwa. Pero ‘yung dramang iyakan, walang ganu’n.”

Tungkol naman sa pagpili niya kina Ai-Ai at Bea na makasama sa bagong TV show niya ay sinabi ng aktor na, “Para maiba. Kasi hindi ko sila nakakasama sa movie. So it’s nice also. I’m happy naman that they say yes all the way.”

Hindi rin makakasama ni Aga ang dalawa sa pelikula sa ngayon dahil may ginagawa pa siyang ibang movie projects. “E, wala. May ginagawa na ako kasi with Regine (Velasquez). May Angel, tapos may Lea (Salonga) pa.” Malapit na ding matapos gawin ang pelikula kung saan niya kasama si Regine.

Malapit na ring maging lolo si Aga dahil ikinasal na ang anak nila ni Janice de Belen na si Igi Boy. “This time, I’m just happy that you know, he said his piece now. He’s enjoying his life with his wife and they will have a kid. So it’s going to be good for him. So, anything that’s good for him, I’m happy,” tapos ni Aga.
