JULIA BARRETTO Plays Two Roles in iWant's "I AM U"

1:08:00 AM

Not unusual twin or look-a-like story but probably this one from iWant is something unusual or out of the comfort zone of telling story about twins being separated. This particular story is quite interesting judging from the trailers that are being played on commercials and what was presented during the press conference.  So, whatever the story will be let us read more according to what they can share and expect to see to it as it airs.

Julia Barretto finds herself tormented by one unfortunate event after another after she crosses paths with a doppelganger, a girl who looks exactly just like her, in the mystery psycho thriller “I AM U,” streaming on iWant starting this February 26 (Wednesday).

The iWant original series features Julia as two identical yet vastly different girls—Elise, who has the best of everything in life, and Rose, who has close to nothing.

The two unexpectedly meet when Rose saves Elise’s life. Both thankful and in awe of the their similarity in looks, Elise invites Rose into her world, treats her as her twin, and shares everything she has—including her house, family, and friends.

As soon as Rose becomes comfortable, however, Elise sees her as a threat and suddenly wants her out of her life.

In a party that changes everything, Elise bullies Rose into hiding inside a closet during a game of “Truth or Dare.” While inside, an accidental fire ensues, leaving Rose locked in.

Elise and her friends cover up the tragedy and think everything is behind them--until one by one, they fall to their mysterious deaths.

How are the deaths linked to Rose’s demise? Who will be left unscathed?

The digital series is helmed by iWant’s “Past, Present, Perfect?” and “Uncoupling” director Dwein Ruedas Baltazar, and produced by Dreamscape Entertainment in partnership with The IdeaFirst Company. Its cast also include Ina Raymundo, Richard Quan, Cedrick Juan, Kokoy De Santos, Adrianna So, Claire Ruiz, Lander Vera Perez, Yayo Aguila, Jenny Miller, and Tony Labrusca.

Meet two Julias in “I AM U,” on the iWant app (iOs and Android) or iwant.ph for free starting February 26 (Wednesday). For updates, like www.facebook.com/iWant, and follow @iwant on Twitter and @iwantofficial on Instagram, and subscribe to www.youtube.com/iWantPH.

Yam Concepcion and Joseph Marco in an iWant Series about Separated but Living Under One Roof entitled "Uncoupling"

1:56:00 PM

What can go wrong when timing is a bit unfriendly? Well, just got into a media conference of this new series that will air on iWant this coming December 20. The iWant series stars Yam Concepcion and Joseph Marco in a story of failed relationship while living under one roof, "Uncoupling".


According to its director Dwein Baltazar, they got the idea of the story after hearing and learning that some of the big foreign actors and actresses revealed that they are uncoupled already. Thus, creating this light, funny but realistic story that revolves around the story of Alex played by Yam Concepcion and Carlo portrayed by Joseph Marco who decides to become friends after their marriage crumbles - all for the sake of their only son.

This is husband and wife who have fallen out of love and have been struggling, for years, to save their marriage. On the eve their anniversary, they mutually decide to "uncouple" and live their separate lives while figuring out how to keep their family intact. Probably, one setting that is uncomfortable and uncontrollable.

 
Their plan is all set and all is well until reality sets in. It does not take too long before their devoted in-laws enter the already complex picture and try to get them back together.

As they go into an uncharted territory, will Alex and Carlo be able to protect their son from the grief over their complicated setup? Is it really possible for two parents and former lovers to move on from each other while being together?

Sincere and sprinkled with lighthearted comedy, "Upcoming" tackles the reality of married couples' struggles today.


 
Co-produced by iWant and Big Reveal Entertainment, "Uncoupling" is directed by Dwein Baltazar, who also directed the acclaimed iWant original series "Past, Present, Perfect?," wrote the blockbuster movie "Exes Baggage," and won Best Director and Bes Screenplay for her movie "Gusto Kita With All My Hypothalamus" - also named Best Picture - at the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Science (FAMAS) Awards 2019.

Watch and stream "Uncoupling" for free starting on Friday, December 20 on the iWant app or iwant.ph.

5 Point Process of How Arjo Atayde Creates An Effective Character Specially Benjo Malaya in Bagman's New Season

11:03:00 PM

I'm not an actor and not even a very known movie critic but I'm just a blogger who loves movies and series very much. I'm not very keen on remembering the names of the stars and directors, but when heard of the movie title or a plot of the story that gives me the idea of what it is or what it was. I like seeing artists create effective different characters or different personas. Knowing how they were able to do that is something that ordinary people or fans would love to know. Me, I'm really eager to know their process on how they do it.

One of the best parts of being an entertainment blogger is that you get to come to press conferences and interviews that are somehow exclusive. Glad that I, together with some other bloggers, were scheduled to have an interview with one of the interesting actors from the Kapamilya Network, Arjo Atayde. So, it's a great opportunity to ask the question that has been lingering in my head.


How does an actor like Arjo Atayde be able to create an effective role without seeing any traces of nuances and other personalities in his previous characters, knowing that he moves from one teleserye to another? This is my piece that I was able to ask from Arjo and he gladly gave his reply.

So here are some of the points that he does to make sure that the nuances and personalities of the previous roles he played are not be seen in his current character and how he does his acting so good.

1. He doesn't watch himself on the monitor or doesn't watch the preview during the shooting.
2. He tries to remember the established nuances of the character that he plays and he does that after watching the pilot episodes.
3. He firmly holds on to the character together with the nuances and personalities throughout the season of the teleserye.
4. He doesn't read the script and watch himself through the monitor during the shoot. He watches everything after and tries to learn his mistakes.
5. He studies and tries to have a deeper understanding not only himself, his character, but everyone around him.

In the new season of Bagman, Arjo Atayde continuously plays the character of Benjo Malaya. Still, a bagman but this time it comes with a different level of being a bagman, it now comes with power, being the governor of the province. From 'barbero' to 'politiko'. This is one good example of Arjo's transition of characters. Though the character that he plays is the same, it somehow changes in appearance and personality. From a barber with less knowledge about politics to a governor that stirs everyone possible loopholes in the government system just to make a project be done.

 
Arjo, having no knowledge about how politicians or politics go around made an interesting portrayal of a governor that rose from the lower class of the government to a more honorable and respectable politician.

If he has convinced you with his character Benjo Malaya then you'll probably be more hooked on his new personality.

Like I mentioned earlier I'm not a good reviewer or critic but I find Bagman comparable with the series in that are flourishing online. It's dark, interesting, eye-opener, and something to be proud of, not only with Arjo but with the whole casts of Bagman. It wouldn't be a good series if it wasn't for the actors who played their characters very well. Like what Arjo said in the interview, he doesn't only study his character but also the characters of his co-actors in order to understand deeply their roles.


If I made you interested in this simple review about Arjo and the series Bagman, better have iWant on your phone and watch it. It is now streaming on iWant.

iWant's Bagman with New Season

12:02:00 PM

The new season of iWant's Bagman will officially be released for streaming today at 12 noon. If you ask me Arjo Atayde is one good and versatile actor, he really knows his craft and you can find the passion in every character that he plays. This is what I always observe whenever he has new movie or TV series, he really knows how to make the character he plays stand out and you can't find any trace of previous roles that he portrays on the current. Always new, not as him but the figure of the person he is playing.

That is why a lot of different roles are being offered to him because of his passion and his dedication to the craft.


Catch Arjo Atayde plays his character as Benjo in the new season of BAGMAN. This time he plays the same character but a lot more. A more interesting level of the character a much more intriguing story about politics, society, family and more.

This is another interesting and a must-watch series on iWant. Something different from the usual Pinoy suspense action movie, this series is an exhilarating series that will make you catch up with the next episode. Known for her roles in series and movies as a doting mother, Rio Locsin unleashes her tough side as she goes through gripping car chases, dodging bullets, and battling against an armed gang with breakout “Eerie” star Gillian Vicencio in the new iWant original series “Kargo.”

The thriller family drama and first Star Creatives digital series, which started streaming last Friday (October 11), features Rio as Lola Tere, a taxi driver who tirelessly searches for her granddaughter Hannah (Gillian) after running away from home for months.

Lola Tere’s wish of reuniting with Hannah comes true as she finally finds her, but it is not the kind of reunion she expected: Hannah has accidentally killed her partner Prinz, and they have to dispose the dead body immediately or be hunted down by a gang of drug dealers, with whom Hannah has transactions.

This marks the start of their agonizing race for life as they try to run away from the criminals who are out to kill them. Hannah’s boyfriend Reyven (Markus Patterson), meanwhile, will make sure the two are safe and protect them at all cost.

Despite the impending danger, Lola Tere will prove to Hannah how far her love can go just to keep her in her arms. However, more problems will arise as secrets of the past unfold, which will forever change their family.

Will they survive through the tough challenges along their way?

The original series is directed by Julius Alfonso.


Having the biggest library of Filipino video content, iWant is one of the digital initiatives of ABS-CBN, the Philippines’ leading media and entertainment company, which is rapidly transitioning into an agile digital company with the biggest online presence among all media companies, and a growing list of digital properties.
