From the makers of “Walang Kawala” and “Heavenly Bodies” come another film that tackles men’s issues with a gay twist. The film is directed by Joel Lamangan and produced by Manny Valera. It is topbilled by the frontal nudity king Marco Morales and newcomer Jay Dizon. Also starring in the movie are Mhyco Aquino, Miggy Valdez, Sherwin Ordoñez, Jao Mapa and Niña Jose.

Synopsis: Five young men land job contracts as entertainers in Japan and form a new hip-hop dance group called Dreamguyz. Guided by their gay manager Didi (Jao Mapa), they spend the next few months before their trip bonding as friends who share a common dream of finding greener pastures in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Michael worked as a dancer in Japan when he was still a minor, using a fictitious name and a forged passport. He makes sure his recruiter doesn’t find out he’s not a first-timer to Japan like the rest of the guys. Benjo seeks to escape a cruel stepfather and find his missing older brother, a musician turned illegal alien in Japan. Alvin is Didi’s lover, who openly expresses his affections for his benefactor while hoping to make his own money in Japan.

The two members who share choreographic duties, Jake and Rico, quickly develop a secret romance. Problem is, Jake lives with his devoted girlfriend Jenny (Niña Jose), who supports him financially. On top of his romantic quandary, Jake is soon discovered to have a heart ailment, jeopardizing his chances of joining the group’s trip to Japan.

As a former Japayuki himself, Didi knows a stint in Japan hardly guarantees a financial windfall for the group. So he enlists the members in a networking company that has been giving him ample dividends. Unfortunately, the company collapses without warning. It ruins Didi and threatens to dissolve not just his relationship with Alvin but the group itself. Violence erupts on the eve of their trip, which could shatter the dreams of the Dreamguyz.

Rosalinda is now climbing the tv ratings chart and Mother Lily Monteverde is once again “striking while the iron is hot.” Before the month of July ends, the Regal Films matriarch made an agenda to start the shooting of “Ang Nanay Kong Aswang,” Carla Abellana‘s launching movie.

Ang Nanay Kong Aswang was supposed to be a project for Ai Ai delas Alas and rising comedienne Eugene Domingo. Both were not able to commit to the project. So the role for the infamous vampire mom is still open. However, the role of the Aswang’s daughter is given to Carla Abellana and the directing job for the said horror-comedy movie is assigned to Joel Lamangan.

Who do you think will be Carla’s mother in the movie? Annabelle Rama perhaps (reprising the monster mom kind of role)?

Carla Abellana to Star in Her 1st Movie ‘Ang Nanay Kong Aswang’ originally appeared on Starmometer on July 14, 2009.
