Dingdong Dantes is making a comeback to the silver screen. This exciting news was revealed in a recent interview, where he confirmed that he is currently working on a new movie produced by GMA Public Affairs.
The project, titled Firefly, is currently in production, as shared by Dong himself. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Miguel Tanfelix, Ysabel Ortega, Alessandra de Rossi, Max Collins, Cherry Pie Picache, Yayo Aguila, Epi Quizon, Kokoy de Santos, and child star Euwenn Aleta. Dingdong expressed his enthusiasm for being part of the movie, even at this early stage.
In addition to Firefly, there have been talks circulating about Dingdong starring in a potential film alongside his wife Marian Rivera under Star Cinema. This project is rumored to be part of the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival.
Regarding this speculation, Dingdong expressed his excitement, saying, “Hmmm… let’s wait for that. But that’s also one dream project for me!”
Furthermore, there are news reports that Dingdong may venture into producing movies once again through his AgostoDos Production. When asked about this, he explained that as a producer nowadays, the goal goes beyond theatrical releases. The focus is on how stories can reach a global audience, considering the widespread presence of Filipinos worldwide. While cinema releases are important, they are just one avenue among many.
Clearly, Dingdong has a busy work calendar for 2023. He can be seen in various hit Kapuso programs like Family Feud and Amazing Earth.
Additionally, he is set to host the reality franchise show The Voice Generations and take on a leading role in the prime series Royal Blood.
Dingdong shared that many of these projects were originally planned during the pandemic, but due to the lack of activity during that time, he is now fully engaged. He hopes for continuous opportunities, especially in the film industry, with the aim of reviving it. He wants people to return to theaters despite having other options for watching movies.
Dingdong’s return to the silver screen and his extensive lineup of projects showcase his passion for entertainment and his commitment to delivering exceptional performances to his fans.
