Sam Milby Replaces Piolo Pascual in 'Kimmy Dora' Prequel; Plays Leading Man to Eugene Domingo in MMFF 2013 Entry

Singer-actor Sam Milby will replace fellow Kapamilya Piolo Pascual as Eugene Domingo's leading man in Kimmy Dora: Ang Kiyemeng Prequel, an official entry to the 39th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF 2013).

Piolo Pascual has to begged off from the project because of his busy schedule. However, he will still co-produced the movie via Spring Films, a production venture of Piolo, talent manager Erickson Raymundo, Shayne Sarte, and director Joyce Bernal.

He can't do the movie anymore because of his schedule kasi may ginagawa rin siyang mga pelikula ngayon. So meron kaming mga kailangang habulin schedule at hindi na siya nagma-match, so nag-decide naman kami to allow him not to do it na rin," Erickson Raymundo told ABS-CBN News.

Piolo Pascual, aside from being busy promoting for the internationally acclaimed film On the Job which opens August 28 in cinemas, is also filming for his first movie with actress Toni Gonzaga. The said project will also star Iza Calzado.

Both Eugene and Piolo were very happy that Sam accepted the role. Sam revealed that he was a big fan of the Kimmy Dora movies, that's why he was equally excited and pressured of doing the film since he knew that it has already established a lot of following.

Kimmy Dora: Ang Kiyemeng Prequel will take place a few years before the first Kimmy Dora film. The last installment of the Kimmy Dora trilogy, the movie will be a combination of mystery and comedy--more like a James Bond kind of movie gearing towards Austin Powers, Eugene revealed.
