"Si Ate Guy po ‘yon. Nirerepesto natin ang galing niya. Pero hindi naman namin mamaliitin ang effort na pinakita namin sa pelikulang ito.

Ang buhay paggising mo may laban ka," direk Ruel Bayani said during the press conference of One More Try. "Yes, may laban si Angel at Angelica for best actress," he was quoted.

John Lloyd Cruz to Star with Isabelle Daza in New Film

John Lloyd Cruz is reportedly doing a movie with Kapuso actress Isabelle Daza. The said movie will be directed by box office director Cathy Garcia-Molina.

According to a report from The Philippine Star, movie outfit Star Cinema offered the model-turned-actress and daughter of Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz a role in an upcoming movie which will star John Lloyd Cruz. Isabelle will be the third wheel in the love triangle between John Lloyd and his leading lady.

Isabelle Daza and her manager Leo Dominguez had a meeting with Star Cinema on Wednesday to discuss the said offer and reports claimed that there is a high chance that Belle will accept the offer since she had no contract with any film outfit (and who would not want to star opposite John Lloyd Cruz and be directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina?)

If the 'Isabelle-John Lloyd-leading lady' project will push through, it won't be the first time that a GMA-7 talent will star with a Kapamilya actor/actress in a film.

Notable cross network projects include Richard Gutierrez and KC Concepcion's back-to-back starrer, For The First Time (2008) and When I Met U (2009). Dingdong Dantes also did Segunda Mano with Kris Aquino and Angelica Panganiban and now shooting for MMFF 2012 entry One More Try still with Angelica, Angel Locsin and Zanjoe Marudo.

Meanwhile, Angel Locsin is also set to star in a reunion movie with Richard Gutierrez now that she's a Kapamilya. Marian Rivera, on the other hand, will be doing a movie with Walang Hanggan star Coco Martin under Regal Films.

Angel Locsin and Dingdong Dantes Topbill 'One More Try' along with Angelica and Zanjoe

Kapamilya actress Angel Locsin will star in a movie tentatively titled One More Try opposite Kapuso hunk Dingdong Dantes. The said movie project will also star Angelica Panganiban and Zanjoe Marudo under Star Cinema.

Angel Locsin stars opposite Dingdong Dantes with
Angelica Panganiban and Zanjoe Marudo in the movie One More Try

Yesterday, May 8 Dingdong Dantes attended the story conference for their movie One More Try. Angelica Panganiban and Zanjoe Marudo were also present in the story con, as well as the movie director, Ruel S. Bayani. However, Angel Locsin was unable to attend due to previous commitments.

The movie One More Try is said to be more daring compared to previous Ruel Bayani hit, No Other Woman. The story is so compelling and one that is not common, according to the lead actors.

“Hubad lang kami dito all the way, hindi kami nakadamit. Sobrang sexy eh,” said Angelica Panganiban, kidding aside.

“Hindi siya common na mangyari, plus the fact na napakaganda ng storya, so we’ll give our best in this one,” exclaimed Dingdong.

In One More Try, Dingdong and Angelica are married to each other but their characters will be romantically involved with the characters played by Angel Locsin and Zanjoe Marudo.

Dingdong said that he was very fortunate to be given another chance to do a movie with Star Cinema. It can be recalled that 2 of Dingdong's movie are co-produced and distributed by Star Cinema - Kimmy Dora and Segunda Mano where Dingdong received his first Best Actor award in the Metro Manila Film Festival 2011.

“I feel very fortunate that I was given another chance. I’m very excited,” Dingdong was quoted as saying in an interview with ABS-CBN News during the story conference held on May 8. “I’m happy to work with Star Cinema again because they gave me such a wonderful experience exactly a year ago.”

Could this movie project give Dingdong another Best Actor trophy or Angel and Angelica another acting award? Will this also be Zanjoe's track to clinching one acting accolade? Only the stars know.

In lieu with this movie project, rumor has it that Marian Rivera fans are now worried since it is not only Angel Locsin that will be paired up with Dingdong but also an equally hot and appealing Angelica Panganiban. Dingdong, however said that Marian will surely support him in this movie even with doing the sexy scenes with his lead actresses.

Prior to this, Angel will have her movie with another Kapuso hunk, Dingdong Dantes which will start shooting in May. The said Dong-Angel movie will also star Angelica Panganiban.

“Magsisimula na itong May [ang shooting], kasama si Papa Dingdong at saka si Angelica Panganiban. Ang magdi-direct nu'n ay si Direk Ruel Bayani (No Other Woman), na napakagaling na direktor. I’m very excited na makatrabaho si Direk Ruel,” Angel Locsin said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.
