MANILA (Mabuhay) — IZA Calzado is now simultaneously shooting two new movies and taping one teleserye with the same partner, Ian Veneracion.
The first movie is for writer-director Jerrold Tarog, who made the acclaimed hit, “Heneral Luna”. It’s a horror suspense-thriller also starring TJ Trinidad and Shamaine Buencamino. As of now, it does not have any definite title yet. The second movie is “Ilawod”, a horror flick directed by Dan Villegas and produced by Atty. Joji Alonso of Quantum Films, the same team that made previous award-winning Metro Manila Filmfest hits like “English Only, Please” and “Walang Forever”.
The screenplay is written by Palanca awardee Yvette Tan and also in the cast are child stars Xyriel Manabat, Harvey Bautista and Teri Malvar, supported by Epi Quizon, Joel Saracho and Anna Luna.
The teleserye Iza is doing with Ian is ABS-CBN’s “The Second Wife”, where they share top billing with Bea Alonzo.
“Kami na ngayon ni Ian ang bagong loveteam,” Iza quips. Wonder where that will leave Jodi Sta. Maria who’s tandem with Ian in “Pangako Sa’Yo” was also a big hit. (MNS)
