"Panday 2" – New Teaser

Check out the new teaser of Panday 2 starring Bong Revilla, Marian Rivera, Iza Calzado and Phillip Salvador. Directed by Mac C. Alejandre for GMA Films and Imus Productions, the movie is an official entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) which starts on Christmas day, December 25.

The animation part of the trailer looks good. I think CGI in local movies are getting better it's not awkward to watch anymore.

Other actors in the cast of Panday 2 are Eddie Garcia, Alice Dixson, Buboy Villar, Kris Bernal, Alden Richards, and many more.

Alden Richards Replaces Aljur Abrenica in "Panday 2"

Aljur Abrenica had been pulled out of the cast of Panday 2 (Ang Panday: Ikalawang Aklat) due to some pre-scheduled commitments abroad that get in conflict with his shooting schedules. It's just sad that the scenes Aljur had finished shooting will go to waste.

The good news is that a fresher face will replace Aljur for the role. Alden Richards, who we all loved in GMA-7's Alakdana earlier this year, took the role Aljur had left. As the saying goes, "One's loss is another's gain."

The 18-year-old hottie who just entered showbiz this January is so lucky to have been given the right kind of exposures as of late. He's also included in the upcoming youth-oriented Tween Academy Class of 2012 which is showing on August 24th.
