On the road to recovery… and Hollywood!
CONVERSATIONS With Ricky Lo The Philippine Star
What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble.
That’s what you get for all your trouble;
I’ll never fall in love again,
I’ll never fall in love again…
Don’t tell me what it’s all about
‘Cause I’ve been there and I’m glad I’m out,
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you,
That is why I’m here to remind you.
What do you get when you give your heart,
You get it all broken up and battered.
That’s what you get, a heart that’s shattered.
I’ll never fall in love again,
I’ll never fall in love again. — from the song I’ll Never Fall In Love Again by Burt Bacharach
I am dedicating that song to Rhian Ramos who is promising never to fall in love again (knock on wood!) after surviving her own annus horribilis. We all know what happened, so no need to recall the details of that sordid episode that nearly shattered Rhian’s life and career.
She’s back — with a vengeance.
On the set of GMA Films’ My Kontrabida Girl, in which sheplays the title role, Rhian tried to appear cheerful but a certain sadness in her eyes betrayed her. She was smiling over a dinner of Misua with Patola (“My favorite,” she said) and it was a pained smile, stopping me from asking her anything even remotely connected to her recent experience.
Instead, we talked about her movie My Kontrabida Girl,showing nationwide starting March 14, which is directed by Jade Castro (who wrote the hit rom-com My Amnesia Girlstarring John Lloyd Cruz and Toni Gonzaga).
“I like my role,” said Rhian. “It’s not a nice-girl role as you can see in the title. It’s different from my past roles.”
In her other movie, The Road, Rhian plays a girl kidnapped along with her younger sister. Together, they are tortured by their captors.
Directed by Yam Laranas, the horror-thriller produced by GMA Films will have a premiere at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood on May 9 and will be shown in about 50 mainstream theaters all over the US and Canada starting May 11, not in small theaters but in big ones like AMC, Landmark and Loews to name just a few. The film’s US distribution is handled by Prodigy, the same group behind the promotion of movies like Little Miss Sunshine, Sideways and Crash.
“The movie’s release in the US and Canada is good news not just for GMA Films but for the Philippine film industry because it would inspire especially our new generation of directors, writers, cinematographers and other artists to perfect their skills and aspire for greater heights,” said GMA chairman and CEO Felipe L. Gozon.
