Following the success of “Feng Shui” and “Sukob,” Star Cinema is set to release a new suspense-horror film this summer. “T2 (Tenement 2)” is Star Cinema’s latest offering starring the Diamond Star Maricel Soriano and directed by Chito S. Roño, who has been known for directing box-office hit films. The film would be showing in theaters nationwide starting April 11.

Eric Fructuoso, Derek Ramsay and young star Mica dela Cruz join the diamond star in this suspense-horror film. Mosang, Camille Prats, Mon Confiado, K Brosas, and Tetchie Agbayani complete the cast of the said upcoming film while John Lloyd Cruz and Carmen Soo were given cameo roles.

“T2” is a story of Clair (played by Maricel Soriano), a travel agency owner and volunteer to Buklod-Pamilya Foundation. She brings an orphan home only to find out the orphan is from a family of “engkantos”.

“T2 is a serious horror drama tungkol sa engkwentro ng tao at mga engkanto… Usually, ‘pag sinabi nating engkanto sa mga pelikula kalimitan or almost every movie that I’ve seen is very fantasy. For the first time siguro, Star Cinema brings to the Filipino audience ‘yong actual naming na-research based sa mga interviews, based sa mga nagkaroon ng claims ng engkwentro or experience . Ito ‘yong exciting sa T2 kasi first time ipapakita kung papano ba sila sa totoong buhay, hindi sa fantasy,” said director Chito S. Roño as he shares the difference of T2 with any other horror films.

Meanwhile, young star Mica dela Cruz expressed enthusiasm about working with the diamond star, Maricel Soriano.

“Nu’ng una po sobrang excited. Nu’ng una ko po siyang na-meet nasabi ko, wow! Ang sarap po pala n’yang kasama. Magaling talaga siya. Sobrang galing po n’ya. ‘Pag laki ko gusto ko siyang tularan.”

Mica dela Cruz is an incoming fourth grader at the La Cabisera de Montessori in Malabon. She is also seen regularly at the Sunday kiddie show, “Goin’ Bulilit.”

“Alam mo tuwing nagsho-shooting kami, bago kami mag-take, sandali lang kinikilabutan ako kasi parang may mga umpisang eksena na parang hindi ko pa alam pero ninerbiyos ako, nakakakilabot, kahit sa tototong shooting namin,” said diamond star Maricel Soriano as she shares her experiences in shooting the film.

Star Cinema’s “T2” would be shown in theaters nationwide starting Saturday, April 11, 2009.
