Vic and Vice fuel MMFF buzz

April 22 ------ This early, showbiz is abuzz with talks about a possible collaboration between Bossing Vic Sotto and the Unkabogable Vice Ganda for a Metro Manila Film Festival entry this year. If true, does that mean the former “Eat Bulaga” host will revert to his tried-and-tested comedy flicks, which were a festival staple for many years?

Vice, of course, is the main host of “It’s Showtime.” Seeing rival noontime show hosts in a movie — double the magnitude — is not only a welcome idea but also expected to make a killing at the box office. Are Vic and Vice indeed teaming up for a still-untitled film intended especially for kids, and thereby reminiscent of the MMFF’s glorious past? Again, if so, are Vic’s MZet Productions and Viva Films on Vice Ganda’s side, cashing in on this stupendous project?

Meanwhile, the MMFF has already released the deadlines: May 15 for participating film producers’ letters of intent; script submission on or before 5 p.m. on June 30; and the finished film on or before 5 p.m. on September 30.
