Talk Back and You're Dead: Another Phenomenal Movie

"Talk Back and You're Dead" cast: Yassi Pressman, direk Andoy Ranay, James Reid, Nadine Lustre, screenplay writer Ms. Keiko Aquino and novelist Alesana Marie during the movie's grand presscon


Remember the Meteor Garden fever, the Taiwanese drama which aired here in the Philippines sometime in the year 2001? I bet you do, because ABS-CBN has aired the very popular Taiwanese tv series here in the Philippines again last April and surprisingly, it gained an enormous high ratings in Kapamilya Gold time slot. 


Following the trend that Meteor Garden has started, novelist Alesana Marie admitted that she was inspired by the story of Meteor Garden when she wrote "Talk Back and You're Dead" novel in the year 2009-2010, published by Psicom Publishing Inc. This gained mainstream popularity not only in paperback but also on Wattpad as well. 


"Talk Back and You're Dead," is definitely another phenomenal movie to boot. This is a follow-up movie of lead stars James Reid and Nadine Lustre from their one of most-talked-about and also high earning movie, "Diary ng Panget," which was shown only this March, 2014. It was also adapted from a series of romantic novels by a Wattpad author under the name of HaveYouSeenThisGirl. Viva Films caught its attention and decided to do a film adaptation of the novel. The turn-out of their movie was a huge success thus, the love team of #JaDine was born. 


Popularity and fame is always correlated by intrigues and issues. The #JaDine tandem was soon compared to the No. 1 teenage love team in local show business, the #KathNiel tandem of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. Ironically, Nadine is directly being compared to Kathryn because seemingly, they have a great resemblance (you do the judging hehe). During the "Talk Back and You're Dead" presscon, James Reid and Nadine Lustre finally answered the running comparison between them and #KathNiel.

"Talk Back and You're Dead" lead cast: James Reid, Nadine Lustre and Joseph Marco during the movie's grand presscon


James Reid as Top


Nadine Lustre as Sam


"Talk Back and You're Dead" (TBYD) is a different love story of teen romance coupled with high-pumping adrenaline of action and the pulsating component of danger. The movie depicts also of the love triangle involving Top (James Reid), Sam (Nadine Lustre) and Red (Joseph Marco). It is like "good girl meets bad boy" thingy plot but still has the elements and main components of the novel as assured by Ms. Keiko Aquino, screenplay writer so as not to disappoint its loyal readers. 


Fans of the novel can look forward to witnessing their favorite characters come to life in this live-action version that cleverly instills the narrative's witty lines and romantic encounters as well as its unforgettable and colorful characters such as The Crazy Trio and The Lucky 13


During the presscon, Direk Andoy Ranay explained that, TBYD has a different story and concept apart from "Diary ng Panget: The Movie" since he also directed this first JaDine film.. He even admitted that working with Joseph Marco for the first time, was a lovely experience, he complimented Joseph's patience and professionalism since Joseph has to temporarily dye his hair with color red for most of the scenes. 



Joseph Marco as Red


Joseph Marco is considered one of the hottest talents of ABS-CBN today, being one of the cover boys, sought after celebrity endorsers and top leading men, I tag him as "The Next Big Star." He shared that, "Ito po 'yung pinaka-major film ko na nagawa. Working with direk... sobrang patient s'ya tska talagang inaaral n'ya talaga 'yung scene and gina-guide n'ya kami, kapag nagtatanong po ako... kung ano 'yung gusto n'yang atake talagang sinasabi n'ya. Sobrang thankful ako na si direk (Andoy) 'yung direktor namin." 


The JaDine love team: James Reid and Nadine Lustre

Nadine shared that, she feels very blessed and that they were very confident about the movie (TBYD) and that, a lot has changed since the success of their last movie "Diary ng Panget." They have now gained a lot of fans and supporters. "It's really amazing eh, 'yung changes, ako po personally, I really didn't expect na magiging ganun s'ya, in less than a year, ang bilis po, sobra in a couple of months lang, 'yun po," she said.
To follow up the topic, James answered, "Actually the JaDine fan base for now, it came out of nowhere, in just about three months, we have such a huge following and they are very supportive and I'm very thankful." 
Skylight Films creates another historic and phenomenal milestones as it teams-up with Viva Films for the very first time via this screen adaptation of "Talk Back and You're Dead." So expect a lot more from this movie. This is also like a homecoming of sorts for James as a Kapamilya who gained nationwide popularity as the big winner of 2010's "Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash." TBYD also stars Yassi Pressman as Audrey, Red's sister, who really hates Nadine's character as Sam because she feels intimidated by her since she also has a "thing" for James who plays the leader of the gang as Top.


Yassi Pressman as Audrey

More exciting scenes from your fave stars. Expect much hotter and bolder scenes from JaDine tandem. So, don't forget to watch "Talk Back and You're Dead." (TBYD) showing in all theaters nationwide!!!

Zanjoe Marudo will set a trend in comedy films via Bromance: My Bother's Romance

Bromance: My Brother's Romance cast: (L-R) Carlo Romero, lead star Zanjoe Marudo, direk Wenn Deramas and sultry actress Cristine Reyes 


We've seen Zanjoe Marudo as a serious actor in films such as Star Cunema's Sa'Yo Lamang and his very remarkable performance in Star Cinema's official entry to MMFF 2012,  One More Try with co-actors Dingdong Dantes, Angelica Panganiban and Angel Locsin. Being a Star Magic talent, Zanjoe's versatility as an actor was even defined as he became more relaxed with comedy roles. His regular stint in  the gag show Banana Nite and Banana Split: Extra Scoop has even enhanced his capabilities as a comedy actor.

Today, all his efforts and anticipations will be paid-off, as Zanjoe Marudo will set another trend in Philippine comedy films in his own time via the movie Bromance: My Brother's Romance showing in all theaters this May 15,2013 nationwide! In this movie, Zanjoe plays a dual role, portraying Brando as the very masculine mechanic and Brandy, the girly (gay) and successful interior designer. Playing a gay role was not Zanjoe's first, actually, he had done this before in one of the romance anthologies in 24/7 In Love last November of last year under Star Cinema. He played a gay best friend of his "real love" partner, another gorgeous and award winning actress, Bea Alonzo.

Zanjoe was given another rare opportunity to portray again a gay role, but this time, in a full-length movie, Bromance: My Brother's Romance. He find his role very challenging in a different way, despite the fact that he had been doing comedy roles in Banana Nite and Banana Split: Extra Scoop in ABS-CBN. He said, "Kasi 'yung Banana Split, gag show 'yon, madalas, parang nagbibiruan lang kami doon. Pero dito sa movie, seryosong comedy ang ginawa ko."

During our set visit to the movie's one of location shoots in Manila, direk Wenn Deramas was quoted as saying "Zanjoe Marudo will be the Adam Sandler of the Philippines." And based from the movie's teasers, I couldn't agree more with you direk! I can still recall how direk Wenn believe and admire Zanjoe, he has only but good words and praises for his lead actor as well as Zanjoe's leading lady, Cristine Reyes who, according to direk Wenn was so professional, very patient and "real" person.

Bromance: My Brother's Romance "blockbuster" director Wenn Deramas


When the full script was offered to direk Wenn, the only actor that he had in mind that will perfectly fit the role was Zanjoe Marudo and the only actress for the role of Erika as Brandy's bestfriend and Brando's apple of the eye was Cristine Reyes. During the movie's presscon, Zanjoe admitted that he mimics his celebrity girlfriend, Bea Alonzo's "pouting lips." Zanjoe was asked if what would he think Bea  would say and react after watching his movie Bromance: My Brother's Romance, Z (Zanjoe) enthusiastically replied, "Bea will be proud of me!" Zanjoe is one hardwroking, humble and friendly actor who's so confident about his sexuality, that's why I really admire his versatility. 

Bromance: My Brother's Romance cast


Bromance: My Brother's Romance is a different kind of comedy film for everyone, it depicts of a family relationship with differences and conflicts. It will also show how they will traverse through life and realize life's lessons and  will leave us thinking how we can relate at the same time be entertained by the funny scenarios and wacky characters in the story like Arlene Muhlach, Joy Viado, Nikki Valdez, Manuel Chua, Boom Labrusca, Joey Parras, Lassy, Maricar De Mesa, Abbie Bautista, Carlo Romero, Jeff Luna and Atak. After all the stressful events that us, Filipinos had experienced these past few weeks brought by the national elections, it's high time that we should go out with the whole family, friends, peers and loved ones. Treat yourselves to a movie date with 

There would be surprise cameo roles of four star celebrities, watch out for it!

"Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang" haunts!



It's witching hour for Derek Ramsay and Erich Gonzales - and all of us.

Taking time out from the romance trail, Derek  and Erich essay a drama-thriller in their first team-up in Star Cinema's "Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang," showing in more than 100 theaters nationwide!

Written and directed by Richard Somes, "Aswang" qualifies as a post-Valentine love story because it's about a loving couple whose love for each other survives the biggest trials confronting them.
Erich plays the character Corazon whose otherwise peaceful life in a small town is shattered by a crime that brings back her tragic memory of World War II.

Derek plays Daniel, Corazon's husband, whose obsession in life is to sire a child with Corazon. Having a baby is the only important thing Corazon wants in life, but she and Daniel have been unsuccessful in having one even if they've been married for five years.

The death of Corazon's father prompted the townspeople to hurt insults at Corazon's about her past, forcing her and Daniel to transfer to another town where they seek the help of a woman in their desire to have a baby. Wish granted. But the baby comes out stillborn. Corazon and Daniel's world is shattered. Will love sustain them... help them survive the new trial?

The question: Will her love for Daniel  and her rage at what happened take Corazon?

That, and what happened to Corazon during World War II will be revealed at the end of the movie.
