The movie is intended for Metro Manila Film Festival also included in the cast is Vic Sotto. Kris Aquino will co produce the movie together with Vic Sotto and Tony Tuviera.

Are you excited to see Bimby and Ryzza Mae in one riot of a movie?

I wonder what James Yap will say to this.

Piolo who is also one of the co-producer of the Kimmy Dora movies first did not know that he is the chosen leading man for the third installment of the movie which is a prequel.

The movie will be directed by Joyce Bernal, and this is what she said:

“Pumayag naman si Piolo kahit hindi pa niya nabasa ang script. Saka part 3 na ito ng Kimmy Dora, kaya gusto namin na siya na ang leading man.”

Kimmy Dora 3 is intended for the Metro Manila Film Festival 2013.

Are you excited to see Piolo and Eugene in one movie?
