ABS-CBN INTERACTIVE
A CASTING COUP OF LOVE AND DREAMS FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE BIG SCREEN IN “DUBAI”
Star Cinema is now associated with movies for the family and the Filipino in a global way. That’s why it never ceases to produce cinematic gems that feature lives and even loves of the Pinoy in Milan, Hong Kong, Japan. Now the premiere film outfit brings everybody to “Dubai”, starring Aga Muhlach, Claudine Barretto and JOHN LLOYD Cruz.
“Dubai” also marks the return of director Rory B. Quintos on the big screen. It’s her follow up to the hit movie “Kailangan Kita” that also starred Aga and Claudine in their memorable and successful first big screen team up.
Initially making his mark in his string of sweet successes like “My First Romance” and “Now That I Have You”, “Dubai” will elevate JOHN LLOYD Cruz to his most mature role.
It also marks the screenplay collaboration of award-winning writers Ricky Lee and Shaira Mella Salvador. Aga and JOHN LLOYD makes an instant chemistry on screen playing brothers Raffy and Andrew. Two boys with humble backgrounds but have big dreams to make it big in the future and secure themselves for each other. In short, they stick together whatever happens. When Raffy gets employment in Dubai and experiences a comfortable life, younger brother Andrew follows having the same dreams and aspirations. But when Faye crossed their paths, little did the brothers know everything between them will lead to other decisions.
It’s title alone already speaks so much of the affinity Pinoys have with the city in the Middle East. Dubai has now become one of the new cosmopolitans for Pinoys to make their dreams come true. An urban melting pot where Filipinos go to for employment and show their abilities being unique citizens of the world. This means “Dubai” is not only a movie Pinoys can relate to. It is Star Cinema’s fulfillment of a promise ---- a movie that features the lives of Pinoys in Dubai. Like many of Star Cinema’s classics, “Dubai” features wondrous locations that enhance the beauty of its stories. “Dubai” is set to become unforgettable with the lines of marvelous skyscrapers in Shiek Zayed and Al Ain cities to the trademark Camels and the immeasurable ‘Sand Dunes,’ the mountain-like dessert land that happens to be one of the most important landmarks of Dubai and the Middle East.
“Ikaw Lamang”, the movie’s theme song is also a perfect signature. Interpreted and recorded by Gary Valenciano, this Ogie Alcasid original tune will surely enhance the inspirational and love mood the movie sends to everyone.
A movie that offers inspiration and hope and tells love is important to your aspirations in life and the fulfillment of your dreams. On September 28, “Dubai” opens worldwide in Dubai, Milan, Italy; San Francisco; Vancouver, Canada; Vienna, Austria; Hawaii; Saipan; Guam; and over 100 theaters nationwide in the Philippines.

Aga Muhlach might bring along wife Charlene Gonzales to Dubai when he attends the premiere of "Dubai," his latest movie with Claudine Barretto and JOHN LLOYD Cruz. The event, he heard, is set on September 28.
Most of the scenes in the movie were shot in Dubai. Aga was fascinated with the place, especially the tourist spots which are featured in the movie, like the marvelous skyscrapers in Shiek Zayed.
He likes the story of the movie. A collaboration between two award-winning story writers, Ricky Lee and Shaira Mella-Salvador, "Dubai" is the story of two brothers and the woman that come between them.
"It’s JOHN LLOYD’s first mature role, I’m told. Magaling siya dito. In the same manner na di rin matatawaran ang galing ni Claudine sa pag-arte sa pelikulang ito," Aga stated.
"Dubai" is his second movie with Claudine as leading lady. Their first movie together, "Kailangan Kita," which their "Dubai" director, Rory Quintos, also directed, was both a critical and commercial success. Star Cinema also produced it.
It was Aga who suggested that Gary Valenciano sing the theme song, "Ikaw Lamang," of "Dubai." Gary also sang the theme song of "All My Life," Aga’s blockbuster movie with Kristine Hermosa. The song, "How Did You Know," is now considered as one of Gary’s biggest recording hits. He will sing "How Did You Know" at his concert, "Gary V: Symphony of the Heart," at the Araneta Coliseum on September 2. Also included in his repertoire are "Kailangan Kita" and "Ikaw Lamang."
"I heard that in this particular concert, Gary V. will be accompanied by the 62-piece San Miguel Philharmonic Orchestra. It will have no less than maestro Ryan Cayabyab conducting.
"This concert I’ve got to see," Aga said.
Simultaneous with the premiere of "Dubai" in United Arab Emirates, the film will also open in more than 100 theaters here. Likewise, "Dubai" will be shown in Milan, Italy; San Francisco, USA; Vancouver, Canada; Vienna, Austria; Hawaii, Saipan and Guam.

People's Tonight
Sinulat ni Ogie Alcasid ang theme song ng Dubai, ang Star Cinema movie nina Aga Muhlach, John Lloud Cruz at Claudine Barretto.
May pamagat itong Ikaw Lang at kinanta ni Gary Valenciano. Bago pa umalis si Ogie para sa series of shows nila ni Vina Morales sa Europe ay na-record na ni Gary ang kanta.
Tuwang-tuwa nito si Aga, na ang request tuwing may pelikula'y si Gary ang kakanta ng theme song. I'm sure, iparirinig sa presscon mamaya ang kanta.

Romancing ‘Dubai’
STAR Cinema’s next offering, the romance-drama "Dubai," scores a casting coup by putting together Aga Muhlach, Claudine Barretto, and JOHN LLOYD Cruz.
Directed by Rory B. Quintos from a screenplay by Ricky Lee and Shaira Mella Salvador, "Dubai" is the story of three overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and how fate radically changes their lives when their paths cross in Dubai, a city in the Middle East considered by many Filipinos as the land of their dreams.
Aga and JOHN LLOYD play brothers Raffy and Andrew who came from humble beginnings but who share a dream of a better life. When Raffy finds a good-paying job in Dubai and gets settled there, he asks Andrew to follow. Things go well between he brothers until Claudine as Faye, also an OFW in Dubai, enters their lives.
Dubai is the first movie together of Aga and Claudine after the hit romance-drama "Kaila-ngan Kita" also directed by Rory B. Quintos. The movie marks the graduation of JOHN LLOYD to a real mature role.
Besides a poignant love story," "Dubai" offers moviegoers a front-seat view of some of that city’s breathtaking scenic spots, including the skyscrapers of Shiek Zayed and Al Ain cities, the camels and the vast Sand Dunes.
"Dubai" opens worldwide on Sept. 28 in Dubai, Milan, San Francisco, Vancouver, Saipan, Guam, and Vienna, simultaneously with more than 100 theaters across the Philippines.
