Box office King John Lloyd Cruz is signing up for three more movies under ABS-CBN's movie outfit Star Cinema.

In an interview, Cruz said he’s excited to shoot three new films after his successful movie project "In My Life" with Star for All Seasons Vilma Santos and actor-host Luis Manzano.

"Kakapirma ko lang po ulit with Star Cinema and I'm happy to tell everyone that for the next two years ay makikita niyo ako sa mga projects ng Star Cinema. Yon nga lang hindi naka-indicate yong mga gagawin kong projects, which I think is good kasi open yong options ko,” Cruz told reporters.

Present during the signing of contract were ABS-CBN’s executives Malou Santos and Johnny Manahan.

Cruz also reacted on reports saying that he will be doing a film with showbiz royalty KC Concepcion. In the interview, Cruz said that he is very much willing to do a project with the Megastar Sharon Cuneta's daughter.

"Very interesting, to work with KC in a movie, wow! It's something big so kung matutuloy man ay wow, I would be really happy," he said.

Currently, Cruz is busy shooting his film with his long-time screen partner Bea Alonzo. Alonzo and Cruz's last movie under Star Cinema was "One More Chance."

"Medyo matagal pa ito so since for post-Valentine naman siya so we have enough time to prepare," Cruz said.

The actor said that he is still hoping to do another movie with Pop Star Princess Sarah Geronimo who was his leading lady for the hit film "A Very Speacial Love" and its sequel.

"I'm still hoping na mangyayari siya kasi yong schedule niya and yong schedule ko especially 'yong first or second quarter ng 2010 puno na yata. Hindi ko pa nakikita yong movie (namin) sa calendar ko baka last quarter of 2010," Cruz said.

But for now, Cruz said that he is concentrating on doing his film with Alonzo.

At present, Cruz is a regular of ASAP '09 and is also set to do a television series for next year.

Star Cinema aims to reach ‘win-win’ solution with SM

MANILA – The managing director of Star Cinema is hoping that the “collection and computation issues” of the ABS-CBN’s movie outfit with SM theaters will be resolved soon.

According to Malou Santos, the Star Cinema management wants to reach a win-win situation with SM malls.

“Ang nais lang naman ng Star Cinema ay maayos na komputasyon, pantay na hatian, at maayos na partnership. Sa madaling sabi---hating kapatid,” Santos said in a statement.

She added: “Umaasa kami na maaayos ang sitwasyong ito sa lalong madaling panahon. Aming nilalayon ang isang win-win situation na magbibigay ng karampatang benipisyo sa Star Cinema at sa aming mga partners tulad ng SM.”

The dispute between Star Cinema and SM managements reportedly led to the non-screening of “And I Love You So” in all SM theaters.

Reports said the row stemmed from Star Cinema’s decision to hold the premiere of the movie at Trinoma. Both parties, however, denied the reports.

Directed by Laurenti Dyogi, Bea Alonzo, Sam Milby and Derek Ramsay are the lead stars of "And I Love You So."
