Dingdong Dantes to Play "Andong Agimat?"

Yes, you heard it, guys.
The movie adaptation of the action-fantasy graphic novel will be directed by Mark Reyes for Viva Films, Unitel Pictures and GMA Films.

Originally, the title role was supposed to be for Robin Padilla, but he already signed a contract with Star Cinema.

What's the world going to, these days I got no idea.


Personally, yes, he may have the semblance. Just look at the picture here on the left. The question is, can he REALLY HANDLE the rugged image of Fernando Asedillo (Andong Agimat), the terror of Manila?

God only knows, but I'm not counting on it.



Hope that the role of Hari ng Tondo will be played by Pepe Smith. Remember him?

According to some source, this will make or brake Dantes in his career. Dunno if he's edging for international stardom (which is a good talk these days since the movie's set to be released in the US, but good luck. I'm sure the hundreds of fans of the book will be glad to give you a good whack on the head with a short alloy baseball bat.

I just wish Robin did not decided to leave the project at all... sniff... here's a peak on what "Andong Agimat" is all about. It's part of my finishing thesis, by the way....


My suggestion... MAKE A WEBSITE SO THE COMIC FANS AND THE STAR FANS CAN BATTLE IT OUT TO VOTE WHO WILL PLAY THE FREAKING ROLES!!!

Ever heard of what happened during the production of Transformers the movie?

THINK about it.
