The iconic ’90s movie “Inagaw Mo ang Lahat Sa Akin” starring premier actresses Maricel Soriano and Snooky Serna returns to captivate a new generation of viewers as ABS-CBN Film Restoration premieres the movie’s digitally restored version on KTX.PH on December 17.
Written by Oscar Miranda, Bibeth Orteza, and Carlos Siguion-Reyna, the movie is about the sibling rivalry between Jacinta (Maricel) and Clarita (Snooky). Their lives take on different paths when Clarita decides to run to the city and marry into a rich family.
As Clarita returns home with her husband to take care of their property documents, she also comes to terms with her resentful sister. Soon enough, their scandalous past is unraveled, which drives them to fiery confrontations, tearing the family apart.
Nevermind the budget.
Former Congressman Albee Benitez, owner of BrightLight Production, is happy with the outcome of “MagikLand,” one of the 10 official entries to the virtual 2020 Metro Manila Film Festival, which took almost two years to be finished.
“The original budget is P90 million but we already crossed P100 million. Actually I stopped counting. Considering the number of special effects, computer graphics, animation, lumagpas na kami ng isang daan. If you look at it, parang secondary ‘yung business side ng film,” said Benitez during an interview in Quezon City on Dec. 9.
Through “MagikLand,” Benitez said that he was able to prove that Filipinos can make a quality fantasy film.
