Manila, March 21, 1998 - Viva Films is readying a movie to be shot as soon as Robin Padilla is let out of prison next month.
Viva has just signed up a two-picture deal with sex symbol Rosanna Roces, which will include the project with "Bad Boy" Robin, who will step out of the National Penitentiary after three years of imprisonment for illegal possession of firearms.
Robin Padilla, ex-king of the Box Office, in a movie with the reigning Box Office Queen, to be directed by Peque Gallaga. The project already has the makings of a cash register blockbuster.
Rosanna's most recent movies broke the local movie lull in the theaters, with the controversial "Ang Lalaki sa Buhay ni Selya" grossing more than P43 million after a three-week run in Metro Manila.
OctoArts Films is also reportedly planning a movie that will pair Robin with elder brother Rommel Padilla.
Rommel announced at a press conference last week that part of his own 3-picture contract with OctoArts is a movie that would pair him with younger brod Robin.
