Vilma Santos' 50th Anniversary Movie 'The Healing' Showing this July 25

ABS-CBN and Star Cinema pay tribute to the 50 illustrious years in showbiz of the Star for All Seasons Vilma Santos through a one-of-a-kind film titled, “The Healing.”

Vilma’s 50th anniversary movie is equally monumental as this is her first-ever suspense-horror movie. “It’s a perfect project after ‘In My Life,’ which was three years ago. And since I don’t do movies that frequent, I might as well give the public something different,” said Vilma. “This is my first time to do a suspense-horror and I’m so proud of it.”

Governor Vi shared that she is so elated with the fact that she is working now with some of the entertainment industry’s best, including the Master director Chito Roño. “I’ve been asking for so long for something this and I’m so glad that it’s finally happening. With the undeniable top caliber of Star Cinema, Direk Chito, and our award-wining cast, how can I go wrong!” she remarked.

Vilma added that she is particularly excited with her first movie project with one of ABS-CBN’s primetime princess Kim Chiu, “Honestly, Kim is a great actress and I can feel that her career will surely go far in showbiz,” she said.

True enough, “The Healing” is totally a new brand of suspense-horror that will surely make a mark in the Philippine horror cinema. “Stories about the Filipino tradition of going to faith healers for guidance and treatment of ailments have not yet been tackled in-depth in movies. And in our film, the viewers will not just be horrified, they’ll somehow be challenged to think as to how faith healing has already been part of the our culture,” Vilma narrated.

In honor of Vilma’s 50th anniversary, Star Cinema gathered an all-star highly acclaimed powerhouse cast composed of Kim, Pokwang, Mark Gil, Martin del Rosario, Allan Paule, Cris Villanueva, Daria Ramirez, Ces Quesada, Ynez Veneracion, Simon Ibarra, Abi Bautista, Joel Torre, Chinggoy Alonso, Mon Confiado, Carmi Martin and Pokwang!

“The Healing” opens in cinemas nationwide on July 25, 2012!

'The Healing' Starring Vilma Santos and Kim Chiu Showing this July 25

Vilma Santos and Kim Chiu star in the upcoming horror film The Healing under Star Cinema. The movie is the first time we will see Kim Chiu and Governor Vi together in the big screen.

The Healing, which is directed by no less than Chito S. Roño (Feng Shui, Sukob, T2) is set for a July 25 release.

In The Healing, Gov. Vilma Santos will be playing a stepmother role to Kim's character. Meanwhile, Kim's role is very challenging as her character has a doppelgänger. This term, which literally means "double walker" in German, refers to a ghostly double of a living person, typically representing evil or misfortune. 

In an interview, Kim said that she learned a lot working with Gov. Vi and Direk Chito. “It’s a wonderful experience. Ang dami kong natutunan sa kanya as an actress and as a person, and kay direk Chito (Roño) rin, sobra akong nag-enjoy. Parang nag-grow ‘yung acting ko. Marami akong natutunan in terms of work sa set.”

Kim also shared an advice from the Star For All Seasons. “Sabi niya, gawin mo ang dapat mong gawin sa isang eksena, huwag mong sasayangin. Paulit-ulit niyang sinasabi na sayang ‘yung eksena.”

Aside from Kim and Gov. Vi, The Healing also stars Janice De Belen, Martin del Rosario, Mark Gil, Carmi Martin, Cris Villanueva, Ynez Veneracion and Pokwang.

Gerald Anderson Plays A Macho Dancer in Reunion Movie with Kim Chiu

Actor Gerald Anderson will play the role of a macho dancer in his reunion movie with Kim Chiu, tentatively titled Crazy Love. The former couple will be working together again in this 20th anniversary movie offering of Star Magic.

Gerald Anderson revealed to ABS-CBN news that his role will be quite daring as he is set to play something he had never played before, a macho dancer and call boy.

"[Ang role ko] plain and simple - isa po akong macho dancer ni Ate Pokwang. Siya po ang suki ko," said Gerald during his first shooting day for the Star Magic movie last May 23.

Pokwang will play Kim Chiu's mother in the movie so Gerald will be coming in between the relationship of a mother to her daughter.

"Mag-nanay kami ni Nanay Pokwang, kino-control ko siya, kasi minsan mas matanda pa ako sa kanya. Maganda 'yung banter namin, funny and serious sometimes," Kim told ABS-CBN news.

How did Gerald prepare for the role? Well, in an interview with PEP, Gerald said that he did immerse himself in a gay bar so he can have a background of what to do. Of course, the hunk actor was in disguise all throughout, wearing a cap in the middle of the dark bar.

“Nag-immerse rin ako para dito. Pumasok ako sa isang gay bar, naka-sumbrero ako para hindi alam ng mga tao. Medyo madilim nung time na yun at pinanood ko yung mga sumasayaw sa stage. Para at least kahit papaano, may background ako.

The said movie, Crazy Love will be Kim and Gerald's reunion project after Till My Heartaches End in 2010. Gerald said that he is very excited to be paired again with Kim, knowing that both of them had already grown up as an actor.

"Syempre maninibago ka kasi last project namin more than a year [ago] pa. Pero more than ilangan, syempre mas excited, kasi 'yung mga natutunan namin last year, maipapakita namin dito," related Gerald.

When asked if there will be a kissing scene between him and Kim, Gerald quickly replied, "Secret" but added that he is very ready to do it again on-screen with his ex-girlfriend.

Kim and Gerald will be joined by an all-star cast in this 20th anniversary film offering of Star Magic,  including John Lloyd Cruz, Bea Alonzo, Maja Salvador, Diether Ocampo, Piolo Pascual, Jake Cuenca, John Lapus and Angelica Panganiban.

Aside from the movie Crazy Love, Gerald will be starring on his very first indie film entitled El Brujo with Jake Cuenca. The said indie film is an action-drama movie helmed by critically-acclaimed director Tikoy Aguiluz. El Brujo, which was shot on different locations such as Subic, Olongao, Antipolo and even Mt. Pinatubo required Gerald his fighting skills using a knife, gun and even hist fist.

Watch the behind-the-scenes video of El Brujo's movie shoot in Zambales.

Diether Ocampo and Maja Salvador Team Up for New Movie

Hunk actor Diether Ocampo and actress Maja Salvador will be playing lovers in the upcoming Star Magic movie in celebration of its 20th anniversary. Maja Salvador will play the secretary of Diether's character in the film.

Even with a wide age gap (Maja is 23 while Diether is 37), Maja Salvador was very thankful that she had the opportunity to be paired with Diet, being a relatively more experienced actor.

“Akala ko hindi ko na siya maaabutan, pero naabutan ko siya. Dati ‘diba, bagets-bagets pa talaga ako, nanonood ako nu'ng mga team-up niya with Kristine Hermosa, with Claudine Barretto, sina Judy Ann. Tapos ngayon, ang-swerte ko naman, magkasama naman kaming dalawa,” Maja told ABS-CBN news.

Meanwhile, Diether appreciated Maja's youthful energy on the set. Maja revealed that Diet somehow missed that kind of energy and occasionally amazed with Maja's funny antics.

Maja Salvador drpped a few hints on what the story will look like. Somehow, the film will be reminiscent of Manong Gilbert Perez' Jologs where the characters with their own stories to tell will meet in the end (a 'small world' conclusion) yet this one will show the farthest lengths one can go to for love.

“’Yung kwento nito – ano ba ang mga kabaliwan natin? Ano ba ang magagawa mong kabaliwan para sa pag-ibig? Lahat kami dito, may kanya-kanyang kwento. Magtutugma-tugma kaming lahat, magkikita-kita kami, at sa bawat isang character, mare-realize ng manonood na, ‘Ay, ginawa ko na ‘yan [para] sa pag-ibig.’”

Star Magic's 20th anniversary film offering will also feature Kapamilya stars John Lloyd Cruz, Bea Alonzo, Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Piolo Pascual, Jake Cuenca, Pokwang and Angelica Panganiban.
