"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.

Iza Calzado Joins Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz in a Valentine Movie

The reunion movie of Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz, now has a play date as it will reportedly be the Valentine offering of Star Cinema and Viva Films.

Talks circulated two months ago that Gerald Anderson is included in this movie. There's still no confirmation about that up until now. One actress is sure to be in the cast, though – the beautiful Kapuso actress, Iza Calzado.

This is Iza's 2nd movie with Star Cinema. She first appeared in the 2004 movie Milan where she played the role of Piolo Pascual's wife.

Cathy Garcia-Molina will be directing this movie which was first reported to have a working title of It Takes a Man and a Woman. Cathy Garcia-Molina also directed Sarah and John Lloyd's first two movies together – A Very Special Love and You Changed My Life. Both movies earned them the titles Box Office King and Queen in the years they were shown.

This definitely smells like another blockbuster hit in the making, don't you think?

GMA-7's "Andres de Saya" Bids Goodbye

After just three months on air, the Cesar Montano-Iza Calzado starrer Andres de Saya is saying goodbye. The sitcom had been receiving poor ratings since it was moved to the Sunday night timeslot that put it against Vice Ganda's comedy talk show Gandang Gabi Vice.

Andres de Saya was doing quite well in its original Saturday night timeslot. It was moved to Sunday night to replace Show Me Da Manny when the Marian Rivera-Manny Pacquiao show was put off air.

Talks about a second season for Andres de Saya surfaced but it has not been confirmed as of this time.The show will have its final episode on Sunday, August 21.

Meanwhile, Iza Calzado can still be seen Mondays to Fridays on the hit noontime show Eat Bulaga! Rumors about her transfer to TV5 made a buzz the past week but it was not yet confirmed.

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.
