Rufa Mae As Zsazsa Zaturnnah

Contrary to what I have written here a few weeks ago, Rufa Mae Quinto agreed to do the character Zsazsa Zaturnnah in its movie version and not Eula Valdes. In her ETK interview, Eula was asked if she felt bad that she wasn't pick to play the part in the movie. She said, "Care ko! Akin na 'yung play!"

During her Press Conference, she further added, "I’m very thankful that this project came to my life because it is a very impressive project...it doesn’t necessarily mean that if I’m in the musical that I’d be the one who should play Zsa Zsa in the movie."

Rufa Mae and company started with the shooting this April 19. Mark Meily ("Crying Ladies") will direct the film. As to the other actors would be, we'll find out in the next few days/weeks.

As for Rufa Mae, I feel that the character and look of Zsazsa fits her well. I hope, though, that we'd see a different Rufa Mae here minus the "Ibang-level-no-'to" actress that we all know. She already did it in "Ako Legal Wife" (even though we still get a glimpse of her usual acting once in a while) so I hope that it would continue further. It's time to prove that she can better her craft and stay away from the shadows of Booba or Super B. Anyway, congratulations Rufa Mae! We'll be looking forward to the film!

P.S.
Thank you, Sir Vince, for correcting me on this one! Hope to see you this Sunday!
