Dingdong, Iza a perfect match
THE audience can’t get enough of the sizzling screen partnership of Dingdong Dantes and Iza Calzado. Their team-up gained countless admirers after the showing of last summer’s surprise hit, "Moments of Love." Every one who watched noticed that not only did Dingdong and Iza possess remarkable screen presence and fine acting skills, they also radiated a special magic on screen. The great news is that the mestizo hunk Dingdong and the classic beauty Iza are back on the big screen in a timeless and inspiring love story: Regal Entertainment’s "Eternity." This film is directed by Mark Reyes and writtenby Gina Marissa Tagasa. Gary Valenciano sings the theme song "In Another Lifetime," a track that is also in his latest album, "Relevance," under Universal Records.
Playing lovers in the 1800s Crisanto and Milagros was easy for Dingdong and Iza. They both liked the story about two people who would do everything for love. They also had fun wearing the fabulous costumes made by the production design team of Chito Somera, especially the formal outfits for the masquerade ball sequence. (Iza’s was a gold ball gown that flaunted her beautiful curves, Dingdong’s was a suit-and-pants ensemble that highlighted his muscular body.) They were also inspired to get into their characters by the beautiful locations in Vigan, Bulacan, and Pampanga, where they shot in.
Although they were never a couple and have other partners in real life, Dingdong and Iza work so well together. Showbiz observers believe that the two have the rare "X-factor" enjoyed by the iconic screen tandem of Christopher de Leon and Vilma Santos and more recently, by Piolo Pascual and Judy Ann Santos. As many put it, "They don’t need to be in love in real life to generate passion on screen
