Sin Island Showing on Valentines Day

Times have changed and so have the actors. Their goody two shoes characters are now doing sexy scenes, it’s a cycle and all emotions are on this film (as Direk Gino puts it). We spent the afternoon with the cast of Sin Island, a movie made and produced by Star Cinema. They’ve made similarly themed ones during Rossana Roces’ time but this time, Coleen, Xian and Nathalie will make your Valentines day a little hotter.

Xian says “It’s a sexy adult love story and it is new for people like me. The characters will undergo different things, it’s a different role, and I wanted to do this as my last project with Star Cinema. It’s very new and I had to ask a lot of questions. It felt uneasy at first and when Direk Gino were asking me to do things, he was there to guide us. It is a story of a marriage so there is a redeeming factor even if this is a little bit dark. I wanted to do as many roles as possible and I see my fans as very understandable, even if I need to take out the good boy, Kim and I talk about it but don’t meddle in each others affairs because as actors we have to reinvent ourselves. I consider it as my first very matured role, sexy in genre but I treat it like a different character. It really depends on the story, we are artists. At first when we did the workshop, it was different, I thought Coleen was not game but she’s a cool person. Nathalie had a lot of ideas, I guess barriers were down after a few days. I felt very excited doing this even if there are a lot of people watching in the shoot. I think too much, but Coleen is very relaxed, she was even eating spaghetti before we did the love scene. Nathalie didn’t talk too much and didn’t plan things, we just went along with it. People are no saints, have darksides, we let the bodies do the talking. Kim is busy and has work, but I invited her.”

I am Nathalie Hart because Princess Tinkerbell is just not good when you’re growing up. I didn’t want my own family to see Siphayo (where she won an award) but for me this one is a bit challenging, a very mental character where half of it is me and half of it’s not. When I did it, it was easier and didn’t have to cry. I like when they see that I could do other things too. Later I am doing another movie with Diether Ocampo and I think they love me. We want people to know about it and discover during the movie on how the story becomes complicated. I love how Star Cinema made the trailer because it doesn’t tell much about what will happen in the movie. I knew Xian had a relationship, I just needed to push and finish the love scenes and there are a lot of awkwardness, but working with different people means it’s a totally different story. It was working with Star Cinema, these artists, and the other projects they had for me that got me excited. This isn’t just sexy, it’s just a small part of it and mostly is proper acting. It was awkward to talk about it so I joke around and just do it. We have to look the part, to look at him and fall in love with him so our characters becone real.”

Coleen says “It’s my fourth time working with Gino so I am quite comfortable with her. Billy is super supportive, we support each other regardless, it just depends on the role and story and I’m game for anything. I just learned the value of fighting for love, it’s only now with the right person that I find it to be worth it. This is the sexiest movie I have been in and it’s the bravest, most daring and edgy movie. It’s very different, but Billy is excited to see the scenes I already told him. As a couple, it’s more with love, and that should show on the screen.”

Direk Gino adds “We had workshops before the film so I really had to know what makes them tick so I could find out who they are. In the love scenes I just had to make it light and comfotable for everyone. We did it for eight months, there were changes along the way and wanted it more daring. It was passed to management, very risky so we had to stop a few times. It was new but when they saw the rushes, they had time and confidence to push through. I am glad it’s uncut, it has R16 rating. I hope people watch Sin Island, it’s going to be very busy for us and we will have different screenings, partners and friends for screenings.

Extra Service with Director Chris Martinez

Chris Martinez just headlined last MMFF with his great Eugene Domingo film "Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 2" plus the blockbuster Vice Ganda and Coco Martin starrer "Super Parental Guardians" and he's not stopping there because this 2017 he wants to open the new year with a bang. A movie with Coleen Garcia, Arci Muñoz and Jessy Mendiola, Star Cinema proudly presents a swash buckling, sexy action adventure film called EXTRA SERVICE. 

No, it's not what you think you naughty little boy. It's affinity to that and what is served is something funny. I've seen the trailer and got to see Coleen do waxing services with Vin Abrenica, Arci does foot massage with a foot looking man, and Jessy play around with Enzo Pineda. Now they're not just masseurs all day because they're a real deal crime fighting squad and agent spies set to seek the lost "Perlas Ng Silangan". They've got to find the secret treasure that belongs to the Philippine government via the original femme funny fatale Ms. Carmi Martin.

Direk Chris Quirps "This movie is in some way a work around beautiful faces. They trained under Erwin Tagle who's a champimm fighter. They were all willing to undergo rigorous trainings, they did mixed martial arts and were done seriously. But if they need to make it funny, they also use massage moves. The formula? There's none, but you always do what you can creatively. This is up my alley and I can do this without doing anything nasty. This is spas by day and spies by night and I've done really funny things so make sure you stay at the last part of the movie because there will be something there for you. I always have flare, something sexy, something explosive and more. The ladies have no hangups, when Star Cinema called me there are already stars and I've worked with some of them years ago. They're going to be funny physically so it's very new to them and the audience. Add to that really physically fit boys like Enzo, Vin and EJ and you know you're having a great time. They were afraid at first but all I asked of them is to just have fun. When they made this, they were developing characters and they envibed them right away. Even if Arci was tired, she got it already, no qualms at all. You'll love them for sure. They (the men) were excited and knew they had to show everything that they can do, they're going to channel different characters and you have to watch how they get involved with the ladies. EJ may not be in the trailer but he's got a surprise in this film as an ex who wants to get back with her (Arci). They have different relationship angles, but all in the spirit of fun without being overboard on sexy comedy."

The movie is under Star Cinema and Skylight Films and will show on January 11. This is the first offering of the production so you better watch this if you love the ladies!

Coleen Garcia for Love Me Tomorrow

The success of the movie has been evident but Coleen Garcia was just so happy about the box office performance of Love Me Tomorrow. Her favorite scene she says was "The reconciliation with Dawn's character because I could feel how good of a mother she is. During our thanksgiving dinner, I really talked to Ms. Dawn and she said to me that she also wished to have a daughter like me. That's really touching when she said that and I'd like it because I see how she cares for her children too. I am excited for the new film I'm doing, it's going to be a comedy action flick but is still in the works."

They also announced that it's near 100 Million, and wishes that the rains would stop because it's a thing that may have probably hampered it to increase audiences. 

"A lot of my friends are like Janine, I used to go out a lot and go out a lot, but when I started living alone I became more aware. I think it's just a stage, I'm in between a millenial and a Tita. I'm in the phase of Piolo. Ms. Dawn could only be the person to actually do this, she stays classy and still looks younger."

"When I left showtime, I felt I lost a family but when I started working with Star Cinema I felt like I've earned another one."

We learned also that when she accepted the role, she was already thankful because she was going to work with Piolo and Dawn. The experience of being there was already good for her even without a script. She added Billy haven't watched it yet, because he was also making another film. He just ran there early just to give her a bouquet of flowers. Isn't that sweet?

Coleen also said how much she's treasured the chance to work with Piolo and Ms. Dawn because getting to know them in a personal level was unbelievable. "I didn't know Piolo was really crazy, a little childish, but would be someone that she would want to keep a lasting friendship with while Ms. Dawn was a different connection, motherly, one that you can count on and tell your problems with. The experience with showtime is it really helped me to not worry about my inhibitions. I'm really trying to concentrate on the good things that are happening to me, but I'll be there, I already went there and guested twice!"

Love Me Tomorrow is still showing on 150 theaters nationwide! Watch it please!
