MOTHER LILY PREFERS GAYS TO LESBIANS
DID Joel Lamangan steal the project ZsaZsa Zaturnnah from Mark Meily?
It was earlier announced that Mark (Crying Ladies) will meg it, but it’s now Joel who’s directing it.
“Hoy, hindi ko siya sinulot,” Joel says. “Ask Mother Lily [Monteverde] what happened.”
“I asked Joel to direct it initially but he was busy shooting two films, Manay Po and Pacquiao, so he begged off,” says Mother Lily. “We got Mark Meily but something happened. Hindi kami nagkasundo sa budget. So, ngayong tapos na ni Joel ang two movies niya, sa kanya rin napunta ang ZsaZsa Zaturnnah. People tell me dapat bakla naman talaga ang magdirek nito dahil bading ‘yung bida. Si Mark, hindi naman bakla.”
-Well, I have been knighted by Marlon Rivera ,Jay Lozada and Melvin Lee 3 years ago as Honorary Gay,so do I qualify, Mother? Kung sa bagay, ang honorary degree is not really a degree di ba?
According to Carlo Vergara, he wrote Zsazsa daw for a straight audience...
Am I sorry I quit Zsazsa? A little. Sayang yung potential ng material. After Batman Returns, X-men,O-men (super hero din ba sila?) and next week-Superman Returns, I feel na sobrang laki ang expectations ng mga tao for our own super hero movie, kahit na gaano ka-camp. My peg for the look of the film is Kung Fu Hustle and Charlie's Angels. Siguro spoiled kaming mga taga- advertising kaya mahal yung budget requirements. As I have said it is the state of the industry (taxation ,etc.)that's keeping the producers from spending more for better quality. Honestly, I felt Mother's budget is too low for what I imagined (Animé style animation, 3D graphics, rigs and SFX, Dolby Digital Sound). But I understand where she 's coming from. Joel Lamangan is resourceful,innovative and find's ways for a film to work and succeed. I wish him luck.
On that note, wala kaming samaan ng loob ni Mother Lily. In fact she called me up three days ago.I was in a mall:
Mother Lily- Hello, Mark! How are you?
Mark-Hi Mother, I'm good! How are you? I miss you na.
Mother Lily- Eto.I'm okay! I miss you na.
Mark-Aah,...I miss you too, Mother.
Mother Lily-Hindi na tayo nagkikita, Mark. I miss you na talaga.
Mark- Oo nga eh.sige dadalaw ako sa office nyo one of these days.
Mother Lily- Talaga? Promise?
Mark- Of course.
Mother Lily- Mark, itatanong ko lang kung kailan kayo aalis sa LVN (studios)?
Mark- Ah,...LVN?
Mother Lily- LVN. Di ba, lilipat na kayo sa Pasig ba yun?
Mark- Aaah, Mother, si Mark Meily ho ba yung tinatawagan ninyo?
Mother Lily-Mark Meily? Ay..ay naku sorry. Akala ko si Marc Ambat. Sorry, sorry...but I miss you also, Mark Meily!
I love you, Mother!
