Vice Ganda, Kris Aquino and Ai Ai Delas Alas Play Fierce Rivals in 'Sisterakas'

For the first time, the three controversial ‘queens’ of today–Phenomenal Box-Office Goddess Vice Ganda, Queen of All Media Kris Aquino, and Comedy Concert Queen Ai Ai delas Alas–will star in one power comedy film titled “Sisterakas,” Star Cinema and Viva Films’ official entry to the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). The newest comedy masterpiece of Direk Wenn Deramas “Sisterakas” will hit theaters nationwide beginning Christmas (December 25).

Unlike in real life where they are close friends, Vice, Kris and Ai Ai will play fierce rivals in “Sisterakas.” In the story, Vice portray the role of Bernice, a super successful ‘lord of the apparels industry’ who is determined to bring misery to two of his closest competition–her hardworking half-sister Detty (Ai Ai) whose family refused to help Bernice’s family when they were poor, and Roselle (Kris) the equally brilliant and talented yet eccentric business archnemesis.

In her quest to secure her throne as the queen of her industry, although it’s against her will, Bernice will be forced to hire Detty as his 75th assistant. But things get out of hand and the world gets crazier when Detty suddenly becomes an employee–of all people–Roselle!

With the rivalry getting tougher and more intense than ever and severely affecting each other’s intertwined lives, who among Bernice, Detty and Roselle will emerge victorious?

Meanwhile, after their sensational success in “Princess and I” and their first big screen team-up in “24/7 In Love” which is still showing on cinemas nationwide, two of the country’s hottest teen stars Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla are now also part of “Sisterakas.” In the film, Daniel will portray the role of Angelo, the godson of Bernice, while Kathryn will play as Kathy, the daughter of Detty and big sister of Cindy (Xyriel Manabat).

Don’t miss the grandest gift of Star Cinema and Viva Films that will surely make the whole family merrier this Christmas–”Sisterakas,” which will be shown on cinemas nationwide starting December 25.

From the initial instalment "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote" in 2010, the friendship and partnership of Enteng and Agimat continues. From an 'eligible bachelor' Hero, Agimat now strives to apply all his learning from Enteng and Faye as he himself tries to start his own family with wife, also an Amuleto warrior, SAMARA (SAM PINTO). The fun levels up as Aiza brings Angelina and her comic modern Fairy sidekicks Pink Kapre CHE (John Lapus), Winged Horse SOL (Yassi Pressman) and Computer-wiz Dwarf CHICHAY (Ryzza Mae Dizon), into the lives of the Kabisote's and the Amuleto couple. As the fun triples, so as the adventure and thrill as they are confronted with high-tech and primitive villains from somewhere totally out of their worlds: cannibal tribes of the Tokatoks and filthy alien monsters from other planet. Witness unparalleled battle stunts set in the Philippines' never-before-seen destinations as Agimat, equipped with his one-of-a-kind swordsmanship, Enteng and his iconic comic fighting style and Princess Angelina, in her Mystical Bird alter ego wins the battle of good over evil. Enteng movie as it has always been known, values family, marriage, friendship, responsibility, forgiveness, love and respect and the protection of the one and only Mother Earth. Si Agimat, Si Enteng Kabisote at Ako, is a rollercoaster ride of drama, action, magic, visual effects, production design, cinematography and an unlimited fun and laughter for everyone.

Thy Womb Now an Official MMFF 2012 Entry, Replaces 'Lola Basyang'

Brillante Mendoza's highly-acclaimed film Thy Womb (Sinapupunan) starring superstar Nora Aunor is now an official entry to the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival replacing  Mga Kwento ni Lola Basyang.

MMFF 2012 Committee decided to include Thy Womb to the official entries after Studio 5 and Unitel Pictures pulled out Lola Basyang due to production time constraints. Thy Womb will now compete against the other seven official entries to the MMFF 2012.

The MMFF special committee led by Jesse Ejercito was tasked to choose the replacement of Lola Basyang and Thy Womb was chosen out of the three films which ranked after Lola Basyang including Skylight Films' Tuhog and Adolf Alix Jr's My Prince Charming. The latter two films reportedly will not meet the deadline so Thy Womb was given the slot.

Thy Womb was screened at the Venice International Film Festival which gave Nora a Best Actress award from a group of critics. The film also gave Ate Guy and Direk Dante the Best Actress and Best Director nominations, respectively at the 2012 Asia Pacific Screen Awards, to which the winners will be announced in November 23.

Watch the MMFF 2012 trailer of Thy Womb:

Both Direk Dante and Ate Guy expressed their joy for the inclusion of Thy Womb in the official list of entries for this year's MMFF. According to MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino, Thy Womb's credentials will add prestige to the December filmfest.

It will now be a tough battle for the 2012 MMFF Best Actress as we have Nora Aunor, Kris Aquino, Ai Ai Delas Alas and Judy Ann Santos. Thy Womb is also a shoo-in for the Best Picture award.

Kris Aquino Backs Out of 'Sisteraka' (Filmfest Entry with Vice Ganda)

Queen of All Media Kris Aquino has backed out in doing the movie Sisteraka with Vice Ganda. The said movie is one of Star Cinema's official entry to the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival. Sisteraka will also star two of the hottest teens today, Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.

This week, a rumor spread like wildfire saying that Kris Aquino will not be part of Sisteraka anymore and on September 23, Kris confirmed the rumors via Twitter. In a series of tweets, Kris cleared the reason why she's begging out of the movie.

Below is Kris Aquino's statement:

I didn't want to talk about work this weekend. But YES it's true I backed out of the MMFF movie w/ Vice Ganda. If u remember I lost my voice the other week & I realized I can't possibly work 7 days a wk & not have all my projects suffer. In the past my talk show was always the 1 that suffered because of my "acting" dreams. More than anything else, I am a talkshow host & I can't be effective w/ no voice. Our teleserye Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw has a story so close to my heart, about a family, about sisters, & what toll cancer takes not just for the victim but for all those she loves. I made difficult choices but I have peace in my heart. Growing up means accepting I'm not superwoman, and realizing just how blessed I am to have what's here & now.

According to reports, comedy queen Ai Ai Delas Alas will replace Kris in Sisteraka. It can be recalled that Ai Ai said earlier that she will not be joining this year's film fest out of respect for Bossing Vic whom she had worked with in the past MMFF top grosser Enteng Ng Ina Mo. However, things might be different now as she was offered to do the role and according to her 'masama raw tumanggi sa grasya.'

One good thing is that Ai Ai and co-star Vice Ganda (who reportedly had a rift in the past) had already patch things up so their working relationship in the movie will be smooth now.

Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla Join 'Sisteraka' Cast

Teen idols Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla (KathNiel) will be part of the upcoming Star Cinema and Viva Films 38th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF 2012) entry Sisteraka starring Kris Aquino and Vice Ganda.

The great news was confirmed by Sisteraka lead herself, Kris Aquino on her talk show Kris TV  Monday morning.

This MMFF 2012 entry will be the first time that Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla will be paired up for a movie project. KathNiel, as what their love team is called, had been successfully partnered in television shows such as the teen series Growing Up and the now hit Royal teleserye Princess and I.

Surely, KathNiel fans will be delighted with this news, saving all their money just to buy a ticket for Christmas Day's showing of Sisteraka. 

Sisteraka (although the title is subject to change) will mark Daniel Padilla's first big screen project while this will be Kathryn's 2nd consecutive time to star in an MMFF entry. She was part of Shake Rattle and Roll 13 last year.

It seems like Kris is fond of the KathNiel love team. In Kris' teleserye Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw, Daniel Padilla was made to play the young Robin Padilla while Kathryn was also requested to play Kris' younger version but the role was rumored to be played by another teen actress.

Joey De Leon and Eugene Domingo's Tuhog, Star Cinema's MMFF Entry?

Last Friday, rumors surfaced that Star Cinema will be betting on Joey De Leon and Eugene Domingo for their 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry. The said movie of Joey and Eugene, according to online reports has a working title Tuhog.

Will there be a Joey-Eugene tandem for 2012 MMFF?

Early reports claimed that a big movie starring Kris Aquino, Vice Ganda and Ai Ai Delas Alas will be Star Cinema's entry for MMFF but with this new rumor, it seemed that a change of plan has happened.

If ever this rumor is true, then we can expect a battle between Vic Sotto and Joey De Leon for this year's MMFF. Vic will be doing a movie with senator Bong Revilla and Judy Ann Santos for MMFF. There will also be a competition between Judy Ann, Eugene and the superstar Nora Aunor for awards since Ate Guy's Thy Womb is reportedly being groomed as an MMFF entry.

If Tuhog will be the final title of Joey and Eugene's rumored movie, then it will be of the same title with Jeffrey Jeturian's 2001 film starring Jaclyn Jose, Ina Raymundo, Irma Adlawan, Klaudia Coronel and Dante Rivero about a true-to-life story of an incest-rape that is translated into a big screen project (a film inside a film).

But we guess, Joey and Eugene's movie will be comedy of sorts or can be combined with an element of horror, just like Eugene's Kimmy Dora and the Temple of Kiyeme, which she is now promoting.

Ai Ai, Bossing Vic and Sen. Bong Joined Forces for 2012 MMFF Movie

Box-office Queen Ai Ai delas Alas and Box-Office Kings Vic Sotto and senator Bong Revilla will join forces in a movie up for the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).

According to a recent article by Ricky Lo in his Philstar column, a source recounted on FunFare (Ricky's column) that  Ai Ai, Vic and Bong will be co-producing their own film for the MMFF 2012. 

If that will be so, we can already expect that the movie that these three, whose movies were all MMFF blockbusters, will top this year's MMFF by mile. Bossing Vic and Sen. Bong's tandem (Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote) was already a certified hit while Ai Ai and Vic's power tandem in Enteng Ng Ina Mo even surpassed that, making it the highest grossing film in last year's filmfest.

Are you excited for this gigamovie that will hit theaters in December? Well, with its powerhouse cast, who wouldn't be?
