It's final: Iza Calzado to star with F4's Ken Zhu!
Since last February, the group of Ignite Media, Inc. has approached me to look for the appropriate lead for their very first solo venture as producers in "Batanes: Sa Dulo Ng Walang Hanggan." Of course we all know Ignite Media, Inc. to be in charge of big co-productions such as "Exodus," "Kadin" and the latest Bong Revival filmfest entry "Resiklo."
Now, they're coming to their own through this new project to be directed by Adolf Alix and Dave Hukom. What's special about this project is that it will star F4's Ken Zhu and our very own Pinay Hollywood actress Iza Calzado.
Written by Arah Badayos, Iza plays the role of Pam, the Manila girl who went to Batanes because she fell in love with an Ivatan. Ken Zhu portrays the role of a Taiwanese fisherman who has a mysterious affair with a girl he met in Batanes.
Among those who are tapped to play important roles in the movie are Glaiza de Castro, Sid Lucero and Coco Martin.
Before the role finally got to Iza, a lot of other actresses were considered. Judy Ann Santos, who was the top choice was the one who referred the role to Iza when they were doing "Ouija." Juday couldn't not give a green light to the project since she is occupied till the first quarter of next year. Iza, on the other hand, had to fix and dabble through the Hollywood stint and the shooting of "Desperadas. "
"Thanks to Roselle Monteverde, Manny Valera, Joel Lamangan and GMA Films for fixing Iza's schedule," says Iza's dad and manager Lito Calzado. "Iza really wanted to do the role and she is doubly excited since the movie is due for Asian release, too."
i SPEAK:
Congratulations to Iza Calzado for bagging the role of Pam in the Batanes flick. It's true that other actresses were considered for the role particularly Jennylyn Mercado and Angelica Panganiban†but this is when Iza's Hollywood schedules got in the way. But the producers thru their executive producer Arleen Cuevas said that, "those are all exploratory talks and Iza was our main consideration all along."
Ken Zhu arrives on September 26.
