Sam Milby Stars in Indie Film 'Death March'

Sam Milby has started shooting for the indie movie Death March. Sam shared a photo of him on instagram showing what to expect on his character in the said film.

Death March, according to ABS-CBN News, "tells the story of its namesake -- the forcible transfer of 76,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war by the Japanese Army in 1942." This historical film about the fall of Bataan also stars Jason Abalos, Felix Roco, Luis Alandy, Zanjoe Marudo, Ejay Falcon and Carlo Aquino.

Death March is actually one of the films submitted for consideration to the 38th Metro Manila Film Festival 2012 but unfortunately, it did not make the cut along with Dante Mendoza's Thy Womb (starring Nora Aunor) which is set to compete at the 59th Venice International Film Festival at the end of the month.

Directed by Adolfo Alix Jr., Death March is expected to hit theaters later this year.

Sam Milby and Yeng Constantino Surprise PBB Teen Housemates

Fresh from his venture into the Hollywood scene, Kapamilya musician-actor Sam Milby went straight to the Pinoy Big Brother House with singer Yeng Constantino to teach the teen housemates of “PBB Teen Edition 4” the basics of performing live.

The housemates have continued their preparations for the “Build a Big Dream Concert” that was rescheduled this Thursday (May 24) due to their escalating dispute over food last week. Artists such as Emmanuelle, Krissy and Ericka, and The Lamars also gave them pieces of advice on how to engage their audience.

Meanwhile, a special task was given to Alec, Roy, and Ryan that will determine who among them will be automatically nominated for eviction after discussing potential nomination choices, which is a grave violation against the house rules. Kit and Yves were initially named as nominees in danger of getting the boot this Saturday (May 26).

Clodet, the “Prangkang Chikateen of Davao,” was evicted last Saturday (May 19) after getting the lowest number of votes (10.80%) against Mariz (12.72%), Kit (20.89%), and Karen (55.59%).

For tickets and inquiries for the “Build a Big Dream Concert,” call 415-2272 local 6306 and look for Riza Garcia. Tickets are priced at P10,000 inclusive of free dinner, five PBB shirts, a DVD copy of the concert, autograph picture of the housemates, and a chance to talk to Big Brother inside the confession room. Proceeds will go to the construction of new rooms in Mababoy Elementary School in Masbate.

Watch “PBB Teen Edition 4” with Toni Gonzaga after “Dahil sa Pag-ibig” in Primetime Bida and “PBB Teen Edition 4 Uber 2012” hosted by Bianca, Robi, and John after “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo” in Kapamilya Gold and “SabadUber” after “Showbiz Inside Report” on Saturdays on ABS-CBN.

Judy Ann Santos Back on Teleserye with Sam Milby

Queen of Teleseryes, Ms. Judy Ann Santos will be having her comeback teleserye together with Sam Milby. According to reports, Sam Milby and Judy Ann Santos will also be joined by Jessy Mendiola and KC Concepcion.

Sam Milby and Judy Ann Santos will star in an upcoming teleserye

Both Judy Ann and Sam have their last appearance in their own teleseryes way back in 2010 with Judy Ann doing the medical drama Habang May Buhay and Sam doing 1DOL opposite Sarah Geronimo. However, Judy Ann hosted Junior Masterchef last year while Sam had his teleserye and MMK guestings.

This will be the first time that Judy Ann and Sam Milby will be working together on a teleserye. Both of them are excited with the project. Judy Ann said in an interview that the material is very good and is not a typical story.

“Kasi may pressure na kasama (dahil matagal na din na hindi nakagawa ng teleserye). Pero maganda ’yung project. Hindi siya ’yung tipikal na teleserye na nawalang kapatid, nawalang nanay, may balat ang anak, walang ganu’n. This is about women empowerment kaya maganda siya," said Judy Ann.

Meanwhile, if ever Jessy Mendiola and KC Concepcion will be included in the cast, Sam will be more comfortabel as he already worked with the two. KC did a movie with Sam (Forever and A Day) while Sam starred in an MMK episode with Jessy Mendiola last February.

Aside from the teleserye, Judy Ann will be starring in her indie film, Mga Mumunting Lihim with Iza Calzado, Janice De Belen and Agot Isidro. She is also considered to replace Ai Ai Delas Alas in an MMFF 2012 entry together with Vic Sotto and Sen. Bong Revilla. Ai Ai was reportedly joining the cast but reports claimed that Star Cinema did not allow the Comedy Queen to go with the project.

Star Cinema Replaces Derek as Bea's Leading Man in Movie

ABS-CBN's film outfit, Star Cinema has decided to replace Derek Ramsay as Bea Alonzo's leading lady in an upcoming movie. This was confirmed by Star Ad Prom director, Roxy Liquigan in an interview by PEP.

It seems that Star Cinema is not keen on getting Derek's services after the hunk actor transferred to TV-5 recently. Derek had already worked for five shooting days in the said movie which is directed by award-winning director Olivia Lamasan.

In a recent interview by PEP, Derek said that he is not bitter nor mad upon being replaced in the movie. He said that he was disappointed, what with being into character already and falling in love with the movie but Derek understands.

“Siyempre I was disappointed, I was really into my character already and I really like the story of the movie. But you know, they are professional in this business, they know what’s best."

“When they feel that it’s better for them to replace me then, I respect that.”

As of now, Star Cinema has yet to announce who will replace Derek in the movie with Bea. There are speculations that Sam Milby is being considered again for the role. It can be recalled that the said movie is especially offered for Sam but the latter declined to pursue his Hollywood dream. Sam is said to return in the country next month.

According to Derek, hes fine with the idea of Sam getting again the role originally for the latter. He was just regretful of not having to work with leading lady Bea Alonzo again. Bea and Derek, together with Sam Milby had worked for the movie And I Love You So in 2009.

“It’s fine, I’ll be very happy for Sam. I even told Sam, sayang yung movie na yun kasi napakaganda ng istorya. So, I’ll be happy kung mababalik yun sa kanya. Sam is one of my few friends in the industry, I’ll be very happy if it’s going back to him." 

“I also love working with Bea, napaka-professional at napakahusay. So, yun lang sayang dun, I’m not gonna work with Bea [again].”
