AJ Perez on Cinco

AJ Perez has been doing support roles in several Star Cinema films, like Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo; BFF; and Ang Tanging Pamilya. But this 2010, AJ will finally play a major role in the new horror film Cinco, also produced by Star Cinema. Following the story conference for Cinco, AJ shared with ABS-CBN.com his excitement over this project. “Marami na akong ginawang movies with Star Cinema, but puro support roles lang. Dito isa na ako sa mga bida at horror pa so definitely magiging challenging siya for me. Maganda kasi the viewers will finally see ‘yung presence namin.”

AJ will star alongside his Gigger Boys buds Sam Concepcion and Robi Domingo in the first of the five episodes of Cinco to be entitled Braso. Only three members of the seven-piece all-male dance group are in this project, something which AJ said should not be a reason for conflict among the members of Gigger Boys. “If anyone of us will have a project outside of Gigger Boys we are happy. Dino (Imperial) decided to go his own way na. Si Enchong (Dee) he’ll be doing another movie na kasi. He has a lot of projects na rin dati pa and hindi naman kami nainggit. Walang competition. Enchong had his chance, itong Cinco chance naman namin ito. Parang debut namin.”

For the 17-year old, the most challenging part in doing Cinco, aside from acting terrified in front of the camera, is having to wear nothing but boxer shorts as required for the role. AJ considers this as a way to be an all-around actor, and good thing Muay Thai is preparing him to be in shape in time for shooting. “Parang it’s a way of saying na this is one way of growing up as an artist. I’m up for it. Me and Robi are doing Muay Thai na so we can get into shape para when the time comes we need to do mature roles we are ready. And I can say na ready na ako.”

AJ will also be doing another movie co-starring Andi Eigenmann and Eugene Domingo. Cinco will also star Mariel Rodriguez, Pokwang, and Jayson Gainza, and will hit theaters this July.

Sam Concepcion on Cinco

Sam Concepcion is excited about being chosen to star in one of the episodes of the new Star Cinema horror movie, Cinco. In the episode called Braso, he and fellow Gigger Boys Robi Domingo and AJ Perez will play newbie members of a fraternity. Sam told ABS-CBN.com that he is happy to be doing this film with his buds from the ASAP dance group. “It’s great. Never ko pa silang nakasama sa isang movie. Lagi kaming sumasayaw together. We did (Your Song presents) Boystown, pero ito ‘yung first movie namin together. Another fun experience for us.”

Sam considers Cinco as his very first major film, that’s why he is very thankful to Star Cinema for choosing him to be a part of this project. “We’re very happy that the management entrusted us with a movie. Ibig sabihin alam nilang kaya namin. At the same time nandun ‘yung kaba, pressure to deliver especially horror ito.”

The 17-year-old actor-singer said he is also looking forward to doing an offbeat portrayal in Cinco. “Sa Boystown kasi ‘yung mga character namin medyo pattern muna sa mga totoong personalities namin. Pero dito sa Cinco we will actually portray characters na hindi kami. It’s going out of our comfort zones.”

During the story conference for the film, it was revealed to Sam, AJ, and Robi that they will be required to strip down to their underwear. Sam admitted that he has mixed emotions about doing the said scene, but in the end, he placed his trust in director Frasco Mortiz (of Goin’ Bulilit and Banana Split). “I’m here to find out kung kaya ko nga. Right now siyempre parang iniisip mo pa lang kaya wala lang. But kapag gagawin na ‘yung eksena, let’s see kung kaya ko. Tingin ko naman kaya ko. I trust Direk Frasco. We grow as artists din kasi. I will do it not as Sam but as an actor portraying a role.”

Cinco also stars Pokwang, Mariel Rodriguez, and Jayson Gainza, and will hit theaters this July.
