Toni Gonzaga to Propose to Paul Soriano If...
Toni Gonzaga to Propose to Paul Soriano If...
Director Paul Soriano, who is the producer of the movie “Transit,” is now in talks for the distribution of the acclaimed Filipino film in the United States, according to his girlfriend, actress-host Toni Gonzaga.
This after the Film Academy of the Philippines chose “Transit” to be the country’s official entry to the 86th Academy Awards.
Speaking on “The Buzz” where she is a host on Sunday, Gonzaga said Soriano wants to do everything to boost the movie's chances of earning an official nomination.
“They will be competing against 70 countries and we are aiming for the Oscars. Actually next week -- tinanong ko na kay Paul kung puwede ko i-announce -- he is already meeting with Hollywood producers who are interested in distributing ‘Transit’ and promoting it in the States,” she said.
Ever the supportive girlfriend, Gonzaga said she is proud and happy for Soriano, who, she said, gave his all when they were doing this film.
“It was a tough decision daw for the Film Academy of the Philippines but actually it came as a shock to them. I got the text from Paul, I was sleeping. I woke up 2 p.m kasi galing kami sa shoot, tapos ang text lang niya sa akin ‘Please wake up, good news.’ So I called him right away and he said na ‘Tin, God is good. 'Transit' is chosen as the representative of the Philippines na makapasok sa Oscars.’ I think the Oscars is going to be in March and the whole campaign will be in December and January,” she shared.
Drawing laughter from the audience, Gonzaga said she will be the one to propose marriage to Soriano if he gets to bring home the Oscar.
“Pag naiuwi mo iyan, ako ang magpo-propose sa iyo. Nag-cameo kasi ako doon. So puwede akong rumampa doon talaga,” she said.
Shot in Herzliya, Israel, "Transit" tells the story of Moises (Ping Medina) and Janet (Irma Adlawan), two overseas Filipinos who are forced to hide their respective children (Marc Justine Alvarez and Jasmine Curtis-Smith) after learning of the government's plan to deport children of foreign workers.
The October 1 deadline for film submissions will be followed by the Academy's release of a list of eligible entries later that month. This will be trimmed down to nine finalists in January, with the final five nominees announced in the same month.
The 86th Academy Awards ceremony will be held on March 2 at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California. - ABS-CBNNews.com
Manhunt International 2012 June Macasaet Dethroned
Manhunt International 2012 June Macasaet Dethroned
"If for any reason the winner will not be able to fulfill his duties, the First Runner-up will take over." We hear this every time there is a beauty pageant and this does not only apply to girl pageants. Male pageants observe the same mechanics too. No less than Manhunt International winner June Macasaet will be a not-so-sweet example.
The 29 year-old model who won Manhunt Philippines last year is stripped of the title following the release of the official statement on Saturday, September 21, by Prime Events Production, the producer and franchise holder of Manhunt Philippines and Mister International Philippines. June went on to successfully represent the Philippines in Bangkok, Thailand last November 9, 2012 and won as Manhunt International but it is not sure yet if his international tilt is affected by his dethronement from the local pageant.
"Because June Macasaet, doesn't want to sign the contract with Prime Events Philippines, we don't want to give his remaining prizes. June is not happy with our decision. As a result, we don't gain any cooperation and support from him," the official statement said. "Since June Macasaet is Manhunt International winner, we are going to dethrone him," it went further.

Disney Pictures Kicks Off Movie Production of “Into The Woods”
Disney Pictures Kicks Off Movie Production of “Into The Woods”
Disney’s “Into the Woods” kicked off production last week, featuring an award-winning production team and all-star ensemble cast. Rob Marshall, the talented filmmaker behind the Academy Award®-winning musical “Chicago” and Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” helms the film, which is based on the Tony®-winning original musical by James Lapine, who also penned the screenplay, and legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, who provides the music and lyrics—including an all-new song for the big-screen adaptation.
“Into the Woods” is produced by Marshall, John DeLuca, “Wicked” producer Marc Platt and Callum McDougall. Shooting in studio and on location throughout England, the film is slated for a December 25, 2014, holiday release.
“Into the Woods” is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Rapunzel - all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife, their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them.
The all-star ensemble cast includes:
Meryl Streep (“The Iron Lady,” “The Devil Wears Prada,” “August: Osage County”) portrays the Witch who wishes to reverse a curse so that her beauty may be restored.
Emily Blunt (“Looper,” “The Young Victoria,” “The Devil Wears Prada”) is the Baker’s Wife, a childless woman who longs to be a mother.
James Corden (Broadway’s “One Man, Two Guvnors,” “The Three Musketeers,” “Gavin & Stacey”) plays the role of the Baker, a hard-working man who desperately wants to start a family.
Anna Kendrick (“Pitch Perfect,” “Up in the Air”) fills the shoes of Cinderella, who finds herself on a journey of self-discovery.
Chris Pine (“Star Trek Into Darkness,” “Jack Ryan”) portrays Cinderella’s Prince, charming and impossibly handsome, who is on an endless quest to find his bride.
Johnny Depp (“Pirates of the Caribbean” films, “The Lone Ranger,” “Sweeney Todd”) steps in as the Wolf, who sets his sights on Little Red Riding Hood.
Lilla Crawford (Broadway’s “Annie”) makes her feature-film debut as Little Red Riding Hood, a smart and spunky girl who journeys into the woods, finding unexpected adventures along the way.
Daniel Huttlestone (“Les Misérables”) lands the role of Jack, an absentminded and adventurous boy who trades his treasured cow for five magic beans.
Tracey Ullman joins the cast as Jack’s Mother, a poor and exasperated mom who is overwhelmed, yet fiercely protective of her son.
Christine Baranski (“Mamma Mia!,” “Chicago” “The Good Wife”) takes on the infamous Stepmother who wishes for riches and grandeur; she'll do anything to marry off one of her daughters to a prince.
MacKenzie Mauzy (“Brother’s Keeper,” Broadway’s “Next to Normal”) plays Rapunzel, a sheltered young woman who experiences the world beyond her tower for the first time.
Billy Magnussen (Broadway’s “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” “Boardwalk Empire,” “The East”) is the dashing and eager Prince who courts Rapunzel.
Celebrated actors from the stage and screen fill the supporting roles, including Tammy Blanchard (“Blue Jasmine,” “The Good Shepherd”) and Lucy Punch (“Bad Teacher,” “Dinner for Schmucks”) as Cinderella’s spoiled stepsisters, Florinda and Lucinda. Richard Glover (“Sightseers,” “St. Trinian’s”) is the Princes’ royal steward, Frances de la Tour (“Hugo,” “Alice In Wonderland”) portrays the giant, and Simon Russell Beale (“The Deep Blue Sea”) is the Baker’s father. Actress Joanna Riding (“My Fair Lady,” “Carousel”) portrays Cinderella’s late mother, and Little Red Riding Hood’s beloved granny is played by Annette Crosbie (“Calendar Girls,” “The Slipper and the Rose”).
The big-screen adaptation welcomes songs from the stage musical, including “Children Will Listen,” “Giants in the Sky,” “On the Steps of the Palace,” “No One Is Alone” and “Agony,” among others. Additionally, Sondheim has penned an all-new song for the story’s theatrical debut.
The award-winning production team includes Dion Beebe (“Collateral,” “Chicago,” “Nine”), Oscar® winner for the Marshall-helmed “Memoirs of a Geisha,” as director of photography. Dennis Gassner (“Skyfall,” “Quantum of Solace”), who won his own Oscar for “Bugsy,” serves as production designer, and three-time Oscar winner Colleen Atwood (“Memoirs of a Geisha,” “Chicago,” “Alice In Wonderland”) is costume designer.
“Into the Woods” premiered on Broadway on Nov. 5, 1987, at the Martin Beck Theatre. The production, which ran for 764 performances, won Tony® Awards for best score, best book and best actress in a musical. Among other awards, the musical received five Drama Desk awards, including best musical. “Into the Woods” has been produced around the world, including a 1988 U.S. tour, a 1990 West End production, Broadway and London revivals, in addition to a television production, DVD recording and a 10-year-anniversary concert.

"She's The One" Movie Trailer Starring Bea Alonzo, Dingdong Dantes and Enrique Gil
Star Cinema has released the first trailer for their upcoming romantic-comedy movie "She's The One" starring Bea Alonzo and Dingdong Dantes.
Bea and Dingdong portray the role of best friends Cat and Wacky with a history of "tonsil hockey" in the movie.
In an apparent reunion, where Cat and Wacky bring their respective dates, the pair's past is brought up with the mention of "tonsil hockey." Cat and Wacky proceed to argue who kissed who at the time.
While the two remain friends, Cat is seen forming a close relationship with a character portrayed by Enrique Gil. This appears to motivate Wacky to show his true feelings for his best friend.
Directed by Mae Cruz, "She's The One" also stars Coleen Garcia, Daniel Matsunaga, Guji Lorenzana, Erika Padilla, Marc Solis, RS Francisco, Garlic Garcia and Maricar Reyes.
Still part of Star Cinema's big-screen offerings in celebration of its 20th anniversary this year, the movie is slated to be released in October.
