Filipino web portal Yehey! recently reported this article about a Filipino remake of the hit film Twilight(which was an adaption on a best selling book series) aptly called Takipsilim. It will star Rayver Cruz as Edward Cullen and Shaina Magdayao as Isabella Swan other casts are Valeen Montenegro as Alice Cullen, Gabby Concepcion as Dr. Carlisle Cullen, Luis Manzano as Emmett Cullen, Al Tantay as Charlie Swan, Yayo Aguila as Renee Dwyer, Fred Payawan as Jacob Black, Carlos Agassi as James, Chin Chin Gutierrez as Esme Cullen, Karylle as Rosalie Hale, Joross Gamboa as Jasper Hale, Jessy Mendiola as Jessica Stanley, Empress Schuck as Angela Weber, Brad Murdoch as Laurent, Nikki Bacolod as Victoria and Aaron Villaflor as Mike Newton.
If Urduja was based on a Filipino princess(albeit some twisted romance with Limahong) then Dayo is based on Philippine mythology(tikbalangs, mananangals etc). I have seen the trailer and I am really impressed with the Disney like presentation. This film is 100% digital compared to Urduja’s mix media. Cast: * Nash Aguas as Bubuy * Katrina “Hopia” Legaspi as Anna Manananggirl * Nova Villa and Noel Trinidad as Bubuy’s grandparents * Johnny Delgado as the father of Anna Manananggirl * Laurice Guillen as the diwata or fairy * Michael V. as Narsi (the narcissistic tikbalang) * Pokwang as Yaya Vicky * Pocholo Gonzales as Toti (The leader of 3 Manananggal, sounds like Michael Enriquez) and Halan (The Tree Villain)
