Coleen Garcia Talks About S&}{ Video Scandal


It's Showtime co-host Coleen Garcia, in her interview with Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino on "The Buzz," has finally broken her silence about the sex video scandal which allegedly involves her and real-life boyfriend Billy Crawford.

That came out in the height of everything that was happening to Billy so dinedma ko na lang siya. Alam ko naman na hindi totoo 'yun,” she said.

“Are you angry?” Boy asked.

No. When I when heard about it, I really just heard about it. I didn’t click any links or anything. Sinabi ko na that’s impossible so I brushed it aside na kaagad,” she exclaimed.

I do know that no one in the world has ever seen such video. So to know that something is spreading but one has actually seen it so 100% sure na 'di totoo.” Coleen added.

'Boys Over Flowers' Actress Ku Hye-Sun Returns to ABS-CBN This Monday

 ABS-CBN Press Release

Sought-after Korean actress and “Boys Over Flowers” leading lady Ku Hye-Sun returns to Philippine television this Monday (September 29) as ABS-CBN premieres one of the most watched Korean dramas of 2014, “Angel Eyes.”

Can the heart feel what the eyes fail to see? Sienna finds the answer in this romantic drama series as she once again crosses paths with her first love Darren, whom she’s never seen after she lost her sight in a car accident when she was still a child.

Darren is not only her teenage sweetheart; he also served as the light in Sienna’s heart amidst the darkness and emptiness she felt inside when her vision was taken away from her. But their happy relationship was put to test when the two were forced to separate due to circumstance.

Twelve years later, fate will bring them back together — Sienna already regained her sight via an eye donor and now works as emergency rescue officer, while Darren, who is now called Dylan, is a successful surgeon.

But rekindling their love wouldn’t be that easy especially when the truth about Sienna’s eye donor comes out. Little did the two know that Daryl’s mother, who donated her eyes to Sienna, died on the hands of Sienna’s father, who happened to be the attending doctor the night she passed away.

How can Dylan and Sienna rekindle their love? Will Dylan fight for Sienna now that she is in the arms of someone else? How will the truth change their love story?

Angel Eyes - Trailer:

Dennis Evangelista Wants To Correct That Allen Dizon Won As Best Actor In Harlem International Filmfest And Not In Sundance Filmfest

DENNIS EVANGELISTA, producer of internationally award-winning films “Kamkam” and “Magkakabaung” requested us to correct the item that came out in Post It last Monday saying Allen Dizon won as best actor for “Magkakabaung” at the Sundance International Filmfest recently. “Please correct it for us,” he writes. “I never said it won in Sundance as no Filipino film has ever won there. It’s so embarrasing. Allen won best actor at the 9th Harlem International Filmfest held in New York City, not in Sundance which is in Utah. It will be shown again in competition in another international filmfest in November but hindi pa puedeng i-reveal kung ano as they themselves will have to make the announcement. But Allen is definitely going there with Director Jason Laxamana.”

Origin of the Monster Dracula Unveils in the Latest Movie "Dracula Untold"

Columbia Pictures PR

Since the publication of Bram Stoker’s definitive “Dracula” in 1897, one of the most enduring literary and popular characters of our time has been explored in film, animation, literature and music, and is as relevant today as he was when his creator spawned a cultural phenomenon almost 120 years ago. Although Dracula’s presence remains ubiquitous in culture, it remains surprising that the origins of this undead icon have never been explored on film...until now, in Universal Pictures' dark thriller “Dracula Untold.”

While the man history calls Dracula, for all intents and purposes, was actually a real historical figure, just as terrifying to millions of people are the vampires of ancient myth. Found in almost every culture and language on Earth—from the Babylonians’ Lilitu, a succubus who thrived on babies, to the iron-toothed Asasabonsam of the Ashanti peoples of Ghana—the legend of blood-sucking creatures of the night may be traced back thousands of years. But it was not until the 10th century, in Slavic Europe, that the word “vampire” first appeared in modern language.

Producer Michael De Luca, who has brought to the screen blockbusters from The Social Network and Ghost Rider to Moneyball and Captain Phillips, shares what brought him to the journey of uncovering the monster’s origins: “As a kid, I always wanted to know who turned Dracula into a vampire. I wondered, ‘Was he the first? Were there others?’ It was a delicious, unanswered question that’s not been covered, even in Bram Stoker’s novel.”

When a script by the up-and-coming writing team of Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless landed on De Luca’s desk, it ignited the filmmaker’s imagination. “I thought it was ingenious,” he commends, “the untold origin story and an unknown chapter of an archetypal character we all know.

 


Naturally, our story delves into the mysterious powers bestowed by centuries of superstitious peoples, but this tale of Dracula begins with and borrows from the real-life story of an actual historical figure: Vlad III of Wallachia, aka Kaziglu Bey (The Impaler Prince). Indeed, the writers took many basic facts about the dark ruler and extrapolated them into a fantastic saga.

Vlad III was born in 1431 in Transylvania. As a child, he and his younger brother were sent by their father, Vlad II, as hostages of Sultan Murad II to Constantinople, where they were held for six years and trained in warfare. As Transylvania was located between two empires—the Ottoman Turks and the Austrian Hapsburgs—the young noblemen lived in a time of constant war, and certain sacrifices had to be made.

Vlad III grew to become a ruthless conqueror whose favored method of meting out torture was to impale people and leave them writhing in agony for days. This terrifying fact is what earned him the posthumous nickname of Vlad the Impaler (aka Vlad Tepes). Because his father belonged to the Order of the Dragon—a secretive organization of Christian knights—that fought the Muslim Ottoman Empire, Vlad II took to the name Dracul, which is roughly translated from Romanian into “dragon/devil.”

After his father’s death, Vlad III ruled Wallachia, south of Transylvania, from 1448 until his own death in 1476. Following in his father’s footsteps, Vlad III was also inducted into the Order of the Dragon. It was then that he instructed his men to call him “Dracula,” which means “son of the dragon/devil” in Romanian. Reportedly killed in 1476 fighting the Turks, Vlad III’s head was cut off and displayed in Constantinople…for the entire city to see and fear.

Having agreed to take on the writers’ revisionist story of Vlad III’s transformation, the next step in the process for De Luca was to find a home for the film and explore financing and production options. Historically, Universal Pictures was the first studio to adapt the character for screen in 1931, and De Luca explains that this Dracula would finally be coming home: “Universal just seemed like a natural fit. The studio has this storied pedigree with monster movies, and Dracula Untold pays homage to all the beloved films that have come before.”

Opening across the Philippines on October 15, “Dracula Untold” is distributed by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.
