ETERNITY: BIG BUDGET EPIC LOVE STORY
TO CHERISH FOR ALL TIME

Regal Entertainment brings to the screen “Eternity,” a big-budget epic love story that’s set to mesmerize and enchant moviegoers.

This movie, which stars the very popular love team of Mark Herras and Jennylyn Mercado and talented young superstars Iza Calzado and Dingdong Dantes, tells of the great love between Crisanto (played by Dingdong) and Milagros (Iza) who are reincarnated in Maegan (Jennylyn) and Cholo (Mark). Crisanto and Milagros, lovers during the Spanish era, are kept apart by their warring families. Maegan and Cholo, who are set to experience the same hardship, must do something to reverse the curse. Also in the cast are Bobby Andrews Jaclyn Jose, and Hilda Koronel.

“Eternity” will take the viewer from the nostalgic Spanish period to the upbeat and vibrant new millennium. Plenty of the scenes will be shot in rustic Vigan, Ilocos Sur. Regal has heavily invested in historical research and design to give the movie an authentic Spanish colonial feel. Sets have been built especially for the crucial scenes where the past and the present magically intertwine.

Scheduled to be shown in August, “Eternity” is from writer Gina Marissa Tagasa and director Mark Reyes, the same creative team that brought to us the box-office hit “Moments of Love.” Also on board the production team are director of photography Jay Linao, and production designer Chito Sumera.

Bringing to life an epic love story has inspired the cast in their preparations. Line producer Elaine Carriedo-Lozano reveals: “Most of the actors had to take horseback riding and fencing lessons.”

No less than Benny Garcia, the coach of the Philippine Fencing Team is training Dingdong and Bobby. Highly-respected equestrian Totti de Leon is giving horseback riding lessons to Iza, Dingdong and Bobby. Mark had to take Spanish language lessons under a special tutor and take Muay Thai.

Line Producer Elaine Lozano emphasizes the strong backing “Eternity” has been getting from Regal Entertainment matriarch Mother Lily Monteverde. “She’s been so easy to work with and very supportive of the movie. She goes to the set and sends food every time,” Elaine says of Mother.

“There’s nothing like a great love story to inspire us,” Mother Lily announces obviously very kilig. She likens the eternal love between Crisanto and Milagros to her undying love affair with Philippine movies.
