Schwarzenegger tipped to star in fifth Terminator movie

IdolBuzz — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 01:58:25 +0000

Hollywood star and former politician Arnold Schwarzenegger plans to return to his Terminator days by starring in a sequel to the four-part action movie, the DeadLine.com entertainment website reported.

Schwarzenegger gained worldwide fame for his leading role in the original 1984 science fiction action movie directed by Oscar winner James Cameron.

Schwarzenegger, born in Austrian town of Graz, held the main role in two sequels of the Terminator movies. The second film earned over US$ 54 million over a single weekend in July 1992.

The film still has no scriptwriter, according to DeadLine, but Schwarzenegger is attached to a Creative Artists Agency rights package for the movie.

Schwarzenegger stepped down as California Governor in January amid low approval ratings in the debt-mired U.S. state. He served two terms from October 2003.

Despite a vow to relinquish his acting career when he became governor, Schwarzenegger starred in action movie The Expendables in 2010.

Kimmy Dora Movie : EUGENE DOMINGO IS KIMMY (AND) DORA!

IdolBuzz — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 15:43:19 +0000

At long last, actress-commedienne Eugene Domingo is being launced in her first ever starring role in Kimmy Dora (Ang Kambal Sa Kiyeme!). “Uge” as she is fondly known in the industry, is overjoyed and grateful for being chosen as the lead star of the first movie offering of Spring Films, the production company formed by the ultimate heartthrob himself, Piolo Pascual, together with friends—business manager Erickson Raymundo, acclaimed cinematographer Shayne Sarte and blockbuster director Bb. Joyce Bernal.

Until Kimmy Dora, Eugene has mostly been relegated to the role of best friend or everybody’s favorite sidekick on TV and in movies.

But she is proof of the saying “there are no small roles, only small actors” with her memorable characters not only making lasting impressions on viewers but earning her innumerable praise from critics as well. Now, its Eugene’s turn to shine and be the star with double the brightness and twice the gleam!

In this outrageous and hilarious comedy written by Chris Martinez and directed by blockbuster film director Bb. Joyce Bernal, Eugene plays the roles of Kimmy and Dora Go Dong Hae, twins whose personalities are the exact opposite of each other.

Kimmy is smart, sexy and ambitious while Dora is simple, shy and sweet. Kimmy is sharp and brilliant.

Dora is mentally challenged. Kimmy is domineering and overpowering. Dora, on the other hand, is a pushover. Kimmy has an evil streak while Dora is Mother Teresa incarnate. Riot happens when a man comes in between the sisters—the mysterious and handsome Johnson, played by one of today’s hottest young stars, Dingdong Dantes in a very special role. He is joined by other stars Zanjoe Marudo, Miriam Quiambao, Ariel Ureta, Gabby Eigenmann, Baron Geisler and many more.

No question about it, Uge is overwhelmed by the blessings she has been receiving lately. “Yun nga ang tinatanong ko sa Diyos bakit nangyayari ito sa akin.

Siguro may mensahe ito sa lahat ng Pilipino na wag kayong mawalan ng pag-asa. Kung nangyari sa akin baka mangyari din sa inyo diba?

Hindi naman kailangan na kapag leading lady e saksakan ng ganda pwede naman yung parang maganda kapag naayusan, ganon. [laughs] So okey nay un at saka meron naman tayong tinatawag na mga pelikula na fantasy, eto na siguro yun, magic, parang Harry Potter lang,” she jokingly adds.

When asked if she feels any pressure since this project will be her first title role, Eugene enthused, “Hindi naman ako napepressure kasi maraming sumusuporta, maraming tumutulong, diba nga sabi ko I don’t feel any pressure right now, maybe tomorrow, [laughs] maybe later, saka marami naman sumusuporta. Damang-dama ko naman ang suporta ng tao mula sa director, sa producer na si Papa Piolo, sa leading man na si Mr. Dingdong Dantes at sa lahat ng mga artista bale na nakikihalo sa amin. Damang-dama ko ang suporta, parang gusto lang naman nilang makasama sa pelikulang masaya.”

Watch out for Eugene Domingo as she topbills the funniest film of the year, Kimmy Dora (Kambal sa Kiyeme), produced by Spring Films in association with MJM Productions. Released by Star Cinema. SHOWING IN SPETMEBER 2 in theaters nationwide.

However, the new “Terminator” sequel opened Thursday, a day earlier than other new releases to take advantage of the Memorial Day holiday weekend in the United States. The film has taken in 56. 4 million dollars over four days since its release.

Last week’s box office leader, Sony Pictures’ “Angels & Demons, ” a sequel to “The Da Vinci Code,” slipped three slots to No. 4 with 21.4 million dollars, taking 81.5 million dollars over two weeks.

While Paramount’s “Star Trek” slipped only one place to No. 3 with 22 million dollars. The 11th installment of the classic sci- fi franchise has taken in 183.5 million dollars in North America after three weekends.

Rounding out the top five movies in North America this weekend is “Dance Flick,” a new release by Paramount, which debuted with 11 million dollars.
