Who would have thought that Marian Rivera, Piolo Pascual and Richard Yap will be in one movie with the Star for All Seasons Vilma Santos? 

Well, that it so the case with the indie movie titled Extra, an official entry to the 2013 Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival. Marian, Piolo and Richard though will only have cameo appearances in the said film, a Philstar article reported.

Topbilled by Gov. Vilma Santos-Recto, the indie movie will chronicle the life of a movie 'extra' or those that were asked to play minor roles in the background, most of the time without any single dialogue.

Marian and Piolo, according to reports will be playing the lead stars of the "movie within the movie." It is not yet revealed though whether the three will be having scenes together or it will be only one of  them at a time with Vilma in the shoot.

Marian had already shot some scenes with Ate Vi who is very thankful that Marian took time in her busy schedule to have a cameo appearance in the movie.

Piolo Pascual already starred in indie movies in the past and it will be the first time for Marian Rivera and Richard yap to be part of an indie film, though theirs will not be starring roles, unlike what Piolo has done before.

Extra is directed by Jeffrey Jeturian and will be produced by Quantum Films of Atty. Joji Alonso.

ABS-CBN’s newest top caliber primetime drama series “Apoy Sa Dagat” flared to its record high ratings when Angelica Panganiban and Piolo Pascual debuted last Friday (February 15) as the grown-up characters of Serena and Ruben.

Based on the latest data from Kantar Media, “Apoy Sa Dagat” continued to capture the hearts of more primetime viewers as proven by its 27.6% national TV ratings, compared to its two rival shows in GMA, namely “Pahiram ng Sandali,” which only garnered 16.1% and “Temptation of Wife” that only got 18.3% national TV ratings.

ABS-CBN 'Maria Mercedes' Philippine Remake to Air this Year

ABS-CBN will finally air this 2013 the much-awaited Pinoy remake of one of the most-loved Mexican telenovela, Maria Mercedes. The series aired on ABS-CBN from August 1996 to April 1997. 

Maria Mercedes is the first of the "Marias" telenovela trilogy followed by Maria la Del Barrio and Marimar, all of which starred Thalia. It is a story of a poor girl who is abandoned with her brothers and sister by her ambitious mother. Because of the lack of support from her perennially drunk father, she is forced to raise her brothers and sister on her own, working in the streets of Mexico City selling lottery tickets and flowers. Maria will fall in love with a rich guy named Jorge Luis.

ABS-CBN is already done remaking Maria La Del Barrio which was topbilled by Erich Gonzales and Enchong Dee while GMA had Marimar (initially for Angel Locsin before she transferred to ABS-CBN) which launched the career of Marian Rivera. Now, it's time for another Maria to hit Philippine television.

There are no reports yet on who will play the title role of Maria Mercedes but last year, it was rumored that Andi Eigenmann will be playing Maria with Martin del Rosario as his leading man.

There are also reports claiming that Angel Locsin will be playing Maria Mercedes while Jericho Rosales will be playing her leading man Jorge Luis. However, all of these are mere rumors and no official confirmation yet from the network on who will be playing the lead roles.

According to byxspeaks, auditions are now being held for the other characters in the remake of Maria Mercedes, which will air sometime soon in 2013.

Are you excited for Maria Mercedes Pinoy remake? Who do you think will fit the role of Maria?
