Governor Vilma Santos meets the entertainment press for updates and issues


ON HER COMEBACK FILM. "Finally ay pinayagan na rin ako ng mga constituents ko to do a movie this year kaya't tuloy na yung sa amin ni JOHN LLOYD [Cruz] under Star Cinema. Naayos na ang script at inaayos na rin ang schedule ng New York shooting. I'm thrilled dahil mahusay na artista si JOHN LLOYD. Bilib ako sa batang ‘yan," sabi ni Ate Vi.



Hindi mag-ina ang gagampanang papel nina Ate Vi at JOHN LLOYD sa pelikula, pero tungkol ito sa relasyong mag-ina na sinubukan ng isang trahedya at kung paanong naapektuhan ang mga buhay nila. May bading na anak si Ate Vi sa movie at yun ang magiging karelasyon ni Lloydie, and what happens next ay ang mga drama at kakaibang tagpo na dapat daw nating abangan.



Sa New York at malamang na sa Batangas gawin ang shoot. Magsisimula na raw ito sa mga darating na buwan. "Basta this year ‘yan magaganap," paniniguro ni Ate Vi sa PEP.



By next year pa raw siguro yung sa kanila ni Sharon Cuneta. Kung si Ate Vi ang tatanungin sa klase ng film na type niyang gawin with the Megastar, sinabi nito na gusto niya yung mala-Thelma and Louise nina Susan Sarandon at Geena Davis na isang critically-acclaimed movie sa Hollywood noong ‘90s.

JOHN LLOYD plays his opposite
By Bot Glorioso

JOHN LLOYD Cruz is not expecting it to happen so soon. That is, to be teamed up again with Bea Alonzo after starring in A Very Special Love with Sarah Geronimo that green lighted the plan for them to do projects away from each other’s shadows. It also somehow put to an acid test JOHN LLOYD’s (but not yet for Bea) bankability with another screen partner.

But their tandem seems unbreakable as they will be paired anew on ABS-CBN’s latest upcoming TV series I Love Betty La Fea.

“And I never thought it would be this big (the project). Actually, it was never an intention to break our love team but to see what we can do individually or show that we can have other partners,” JOHN LLOYD says.

Besides, their six-year team up has already created a strong foundation too tough to break due to the overwhelming support JOHN LLOYD and Bea are getting. The two starred in the heart-wrenching love stories and feel good movies My First Romance, Now That I Have You, Close to You, All About Love, One More Chance, Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay and Maging Sino Ka Man Book 1 & 2.

This time, televiewers will see them in a light comedy with a little touch of drama where JOHN LLOYD looks at his character as one big challenge. He is the exact opposite of Armando Solis, the sports-minded, ladies’ man boss and love interest of Bea’s Betty La Fea. He, too, is much younger than the character played by Jorge Enrique Abello in the Colombia TV series.

But like a soldier following orders from his commander, JOHN LLOYD welcomes the challenge of living up to the role.

“Honestly, medyo nangangapa ako. I’m starting from scratch because I didn’t get to watch any Betty La Fea episode. But since this is given to me whether I like it or not, I will do my responsibility whole-heartedly or kung di man sa umpisa, I will definitely make my way to do it. Kung ano ang ibigay, tanggap,” JOHN LLOYD shares.

And he will do anything and everything as far as acting is concerned including playing a gay role and some nudity, if needed. This, JOHN LLOYD feels, would show his worth more as an actor.

“It’s one of the roles I really like to do and I wish to portray as many characters as possible given the fact that actors have short life span,” he says.

He wouldn’t have second thoughts, too, especially if he is to work with Batangas Gov. Vilma Santos and direk Olive Lamasan under Star Cinema in his next movie. Here, he plays the lover of Vilma’s gay son. Shooting of some scenes will start in New York come November. Luis Manzano might play the gay son.

And if ever the part goes to Luis, would JOHN LLOYD feel awkward doing some intimate scenes with him?

“Okay naman chest nya, gusto ko yung masarap yakapin,” JOHN LLOYD quips.

Kidding aside, JOHN LLOYD admits to be feeling butterflies in his stomach when cameras start grinding for the love scene. But as long as he is secure with his gender, JOHN LLOYD says he can do the scene with any actor.

“I know Star Cinema (producer of the movie) won’t exploit its actors. This is just a portrayal of life,” relates JOHN LLOYD.

A role that others may deem too drab or too ordinary is what JOHN LLOYD also feels would fulfill him as an actor. He thinks playing Juan dela Cruz is harder than portraying a psycho killer or rapist.

“I want to show how guys in their 20s or 30s deal with life. Do they experiment with sex, drugs, marriage or whatever? That for me is something,” JOHN LLOYD says.

It would make a big difference too, JOHN LLOYD says, if he is able to continuously share whatever blessings he has the way he did when he visited the less privileged recently.

“I guess it comes with age. You are looking for a deeper purpose in life. Reaching to others and seeing their faces light up give me a different kind of high,” JOHN LLOYD declares.

Feel na feel: JOHN LLOYD love scene shot on NY bridge






JOHN LLOYD and Luis in a tender scene from In My Life.
The “intimate scene” between Luis Manzano and JOHN LLOYD Cruz as lovers in Star Cinema’s In My Life was finally shot last week on the Brooklyn Bridge, with the breathtaking Manhattan skyline as backdrop.

“Feel na feel nila ‘yung eksena,” reported Funfare’s Big Apple correspondent Edmund Silvestre (of The Filipino Reporter), “very realistic, which simply means that Luis and JOHN LLOYD are good actors because, as everybody knows, pareho silang straight.”

The movie, directed by Olive Lamasan and also starring Vilma Santos (Luis’ mom playing his mom), is Luis’ most challenging. But whether or not he will finally join the ranks of JOHN LLOYD, Piolo Pascual, Jericho Rosales, Sam Milby, Richard Gutierrez and Dingdong Dantes as big-screen leading men will be known when the film hits the theaters in September.

In an interview with Edmund, a spirited Luis — looking more handsome with his tanned complexion courtesy of Boracay — admitted that the pressure is building up as the shooting is nearing its completion.

“I admit the pressure to deliver a good performance is there,” he said. “After all, it’s with two award-winning actors, my mom, and JOHN LLOYD who is unbelievably a great young actor. I really give my best in every scene, but if there’s a scene na hindi nagustuhan ni direk (Olive), iko-correct naman niya. We find ways kung saan nagkukulang at inaayos talaga ni direk. But in the end, it’s for other people to say how I fare.”

Asked if he got intimidated by his mom and JOHN LLOYD, particularly during heavy dramatic scenes, Luis said, “Not intimidated; it’s more of ‘Wow, this is it, finally we’re starting!’ As I’ve said before, doing this project is like a double-edged sword for me because I get to work with my mom who is considered by some as the greatest actress of all-time in Philippine cinema, and of course with JOHN LLOYD who is a box-office king and who has several acting citations. More of excited siguro but not naman intimidated.”
