Hollywood, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the Hollywood film, ‘The Little Rascals.’ To celebrate the occasion, the entire cast came together to recreate the film poster that captivated movie fans 20 years ago.
Some have lost hair, others grew more and one has even turned from brunette to blonde. But if there is one fact of life that we all can learn from this momentous reunion, it is this:
Cats may have nine lives, but adult dogs never grow old.
Hollywood, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – It’s official. Filming for Dan Brown’s ‘Inferno’ begins in April next year and is expected to hit the theaters in December, 2015, according to an announcement by Sony Pictures.
Actor Tom Hanks will be reunited with director Ron Howard in this movie version of the fourth installment of Brown’s blockbuster novel. David Koepp has been tapped to pen the script.
Hanks will reprise his role as Professor Robert Langdon, a role he played in the ‘The Da Vinci Code.’
Most of the new film will be shot in Italy, except for a few scenes which, in the book version, happens in Manila where the crowded metropolis was tagged by Brown as “the gates of hell.” He described Manila as a city riddled with poverty, crime and prostitution. And traffic.
But there is a big problem. The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has said that it has refused to issue a permit to Sony Films to shoot scenes in Manila or its neighboring cities. “How can anyone expect us to be hospitable to a film crew of a movie that denigrates our reputation,” an MMDA spokesperson said.
MMDA said that it will grant the filming permit only if scriptwriter Koepp will change the line “gates of hell” to “stairway to heaven.”
Sony pictures has not returned calls from The Adobo Chronicles seeking comment on the MMDA statement.
