Meet the voices of the star-studded flock of sheep in “The Sheep Detectives” Out in PH cinemas this May 6

 COLUMBIA PICTURES

Herding a voice cast for a whole flock of wooly characters is no mean feat, but there’s an additional twist to finding the right actors for The Sheep Detectives. Every sheep has its own unique personality, but the actors’ delivery and mannerisms would directly influence how their sheep would be fleshed out through animation. 


“We actually capture footage of the actors while they’re recording—multiple angles of their faces,” says

animator Maya Storm Shrestha. “From that, we translate their physical performances into the animation

in a way that balances character expression with how a sheep’s anatomy naturally works.”


In The Sheep Detectives, voices from acclaimed actors like Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Rhys Darby, Patrick Stewart, Bryan Cranston, and more give life to a fluffy cast of characters tasked with solving the mysterious death of their beloved shepherd, George (Hugh Jackman). Driven by their shepherd’s nightly detective novel readings to the flock, the wooly investigators try to prove that even sheep can solve the toughest of mysteries.


Watch the trailer: https://youtu.be/kUbc_7ue_Ho


We start with Lily, the smartest sheep in the group, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Lawful and loyal, she is devoted to George and helms the investigation for the flock. “Lily’s loyalty to George is unbreakable,” says Louis-Dreyfus. “She’s taken what George modeled for her and applies it not only to solving the crime, but to being a kindhearted leader. In doing so, she really addresses her own fears and becomes a better leader.”

The respected elder of the flock is the regal Sir Ritchfield, voiced by Patrick Stewart. As a voice actor, Stewart manages to crack the crew up with his unexpectedly humorous line deliveries. “One of my favorite pieces of voice acting in the movie comes from Patrick Stewart,” says Executive/Animation Producer Tyson Hesse. “We simply asked him to keep repeating the word ‘murderer’ with escalating intensity, and each time it just got funnier and funnier. It became a great unexpected running gag.”



Patrick Stewart voices Sir Ritchfield in “The Sheep Detectives”


Cynical loner Sebastian is voiced by Bryan Cranston. The solitary sheep joined the flock at an older age, and has never truly assimilated. Sebastian’s personality serves as a foil against the rest of the group, which Cranston appreciates. “Sebastian’s perspective is essential to good storytelling,” Cranston says. “You need contrasting viewpoints—something for the character to push against. Otherwise, it’s boring.”


Paired with Lily, Cranston and Louis-Dreyfus channeled past chemistry to give their characters’ relationship authenticity. “Julia and I go way back—to Seinfeld, when our characters dated,” Cranston says. “When you know her voice and the vulnerability she brings, you can feel that rhythm between the characters. It becomes not just Lily and Sebastian, but something more—a relationship that gives the story real heart.”


“The Sheep Detectives” brings mystery and humor to Philippine cinemas on May 6.

Jobstreet’s SEEK Pass launches IELTS and PTE verification, helping job seekers showcase English proficiency

 PRESS RELEASE




SEEK today announced the launch of English proficiency verification on SEEK Pass, its verified credential passport, across the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.

Through partnerships with IELTS (International English Language Testing System) and Pearson, provider of the Pearson Test of English (PTE), job seekers can now verify that they have completed a recognised English proficiency assessment via SEEK Pass. Once verified, these credentials can be displayed on candidate profiles and job applications across SEEK, Jobstreet and Jobsdb, making it easier for employers to identify candidates with the language skills they need.

SEEK Pass is Jobstreet by SEEK’s trusted digital career passport used by over four million individuals to securely manage and share their verified identity, credentials, and documents, helping them match with opportunities that best suit their skills. 

English proficiency is a critical hiring factor for many roles across the region. It is essential for positions requiring cross-market collaboration in multinational organisations, and equally important for customer service, hospitality, and frontline roles where strong English communication helps candidates stand out. Many job seekers invest significant time and money in English language assessments to strengthen their employability, and SEEK Pass now enables them to verify these credentials and make their highly sought-after skills visible to employers.

Xavier Russo, General Manager of SEEK Pass, says, “We've seen how verified credentials can make a real difference for job seekers, helping them stand out in a competitive job market while giving employers what they need to make faster, more confident decisions. English proficiency is one of the most in-demand skills across our markets, particularly in Asia, where language skills are often a deciding factor in hiring. Partnering with IELTS and Pearson to bring English proficiency verification to SEEK Pass means we’re solving a real problem for millions of job seekers and the employers looking to hire them.”

SEEK Pass has helped 4.5 million job seekers verify their credentials across the Asia Pacific, with verified applicants 20% more likely to be shortlisted by employers in Australia and New Zealand. Since launching in Asia a year ago, SEEK Pass has seen strong adoption with job seekers on Jobstreet and Jobsdb increasingly using verified credentials to stand out. English proficiency verification adds to SEEK Pass's growing range of verifiable credentials, which includes identity verification, working rights, education, employment history and industry-specific licences and credentials.

“At IDP, we believe language skills should open doors. Job seekers invest real effort to earn an IELTS score, and this partnership with SEEK Pass helps them display their score with pride. We are proud to support any initiative that helps test takers achieve better outcomes as they move into work," said Micheal James, Director, IELTS Operations.

"The inclusion of PTE within SEEK Pass is a meaningful step forward for both employers and job seekers across APAC,” said Matthew Lampkin, Director, Asia Pacific, English Language Learning, Pearson. “For employers, it offers a trusted and efficient way to verify English proficiency, supporting fairer and more confident hiring decisions. For candidates, it creates a simpler, more accessible pathway to showcase their skills and improve their employability — helping them progress faster in an increasingly competitive job market.”

SEEK Pass plans to expand its English proficiency partnerships to include additional providers in the future.

“People screaming together, jumping together, popcorn flying at the same time” – director talks about why “LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY” is best seen in cinemas, starting April 15

 WARNER BROS. PICTURES



Photo credit: Warner Bros. Pictures


Director Lee Cronin is hoping audiences will watch his new horror film, “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy,” on the big screen.


“I always think horror movies are best shared with the collective,” says Cronin, well-known to horror audiences for directing and writing the 2023 hit “Evil Dead Rise.” “You get that sense of movement and motion within a room when you get people screaming together, jumping together, popcorn flying at the same time.”


In “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy,” the young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace. Eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare. Produced by James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville, the film stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, with Veronica Falcón.


Watch the trailer: https://youtu.be/Dg8AzYx6Tsw 


For Cronin, the creation of the monster in monster movies are of really great importance. “One of the things I knew is that I wanted to put this monster in full daylight and for the audience to experience and for the family to experience something unknown, something that’s there, something that seems off, but hasn’t fully revealed itself yet,” says the filmmaker. “The look of the monster was also very much inspired by the mystery in the story, and I love when things like that happen, rather than just saying, ‘Hey, let’s make it scary. Let’s make it creepy.’ There’s a purpose behind all the choices that we made. There’s a purpose behind the color her skin is when we first meet her and how it develops. It might seem like she’s getting healthier, where in reality she’s actually starting to decay in a different way. So, all of that – the various stages throughout the movie that we wanted to explore with the monstrous look – was pretty meticulously planned out from the start.”

Cronin also shares what he thinks makes for a great and effective horror scene. “There has to be something familiar about it, or at least for me, that’s what I'm always drawn to,” he says. “So, if I look back at my last movie, ‘Evil Dead Rise,’ there’s the infamous cheese grater scene, for example. I knew I wanted something domestic to be involved in the scene and to shock people, and I walked into my kitchen and hey, there’s the cheese grater. And it’s like, yeah, everybody has one in the kitchen. Everyone has a frame of context. This movie has some equally gnarly and unusual actions that take place, but again, always around slightly domestic things.”


The director is excited to take movie audiences for another ride and experience his latest horror film. “I try and think of the movies that I make and the stories that I tell as some sort of dark ride or roller coaster,” says Cronin. And sometimes it's silence, and sometimes it's just clicking towards the corner… but sometimes you also just need to be hit very dramatically in the face and in your mind with something that completely raises your heart rate and changes how you’re feeling about the experience at the time. And, yeah, the power of a frightful image is something really special and unique that I always love to play with and use to bring the audience on a ride and to entertain as well.”

5 Things to Consider Before The ‘I Do’ “The Drama,” Now Showing in Cinemas Nationwide

 PIONEER FILMS PHILIPPINES

They say love is all you need, but is it, really? Speak now or forever hold your peace.


“The Drama,” starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, now showing in PH cinemas, offers a striking reality check for couples on the brink of forever. Because before the vows, the wedding plans, and the “happily ever after,” there are questions that demand honest answers.


Here are five things to consider before the “I do”:

Can You Handle all the Truth?

Love thrives on honesty, but not all truths are easy to accept. In “The Drama,” one confession is enough to disrupt everything, challenging not just trust but the very morals a relationship is built on. The question is, how much truth can a relationship really hold?


Do You Really Know Your Partner?

“From Charlie’s perspective, Emma is this archetype of perfection,” says Pattinson. “He can’t imagine she could possibly do anything wrong.” 


Love may be there, but sometimes time and shared experiences create the illusion of truly knowing someone completely. Yet people are layered, like wearing different "masks," and only reveal what they choose to show while holding parts of themselves that remain unseen or intentionally hidden, in the name of love. 


Do you really know your partner, or are you simply in love with their potential, lovable version, the parts that are easiest to hold on to?





Are You Ready for the Past That Comes with Them?

Zendaya shares, “Charlie is ultimately a good guy, but he’s easily affected by the opinions of other people and maintaining the illusion that everything is fine. Unlike Emma, he hasn’t experienced intense or severe life changes. He’s someone who genuinely cares whether or not people think he’s a good person.”


However, as much as Charlie (Robert Pattinson) tries to maintain his composed, “ideal” image, Emma (Zendaya) carries a confession that challenges their relationship, forcing both of them to confront not just each other but everything they thought they understood about love.


In a relationship, when differences are laid bare, including the sides of them you did not expect, will your love stay the same?


Can Love Survive Discomfort?

It’s easy to love someone when everything feels certain and secure. But relationships are also defined by how they endure discomfort when doubt creeps in, when emotions clash with logic, and when love no longer feels simple.


Can you survive something that feels foreign? Can you endure truths that challenge your moral compass? If love is unconditional, then, what is your limit?

Meet Emma & Charlie


You are cordially invited to the cinema to witness the truth, flaws, and secrets before their “I do.” Experience their story on the big screen when love is pushed to its limits.



Get to know Emma (Zendaya) & Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and see how love can be when it’s challenged and revealed in its most honest form.

Gallio Events Hall: A Premier Event Space in Aseana City

 PRESS RELEASE 





Parañaque City, Philippines - As the Philippines MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) sector is projected to grow by about 8.5% annually through 2028, the demand for modern and flexible venues continues to increase. Addressing this need, Gallio Events Hall rises as a destination where design meets memorable experiences. 


Gallio Events Hall, with its lush gardens and captivating spaces, positions itself as a versatile venue for corporate gatherings, exhibitions, and social events in the south of Metro Manila. It is strategically located within Aseana City, the master planned development of D.M. Wenceslao and Associates, Inc. (DMW Group of Companies). Gallio Events Hall combines modern-contemporary design with thoughtful Filipino hospitality.


“Gallio was designed to offer a space where every detail—from the architecture to the layout of our halls—reflects our commitment to excellence and Filipino hospitality. Our clients and partners motivate us to continuously elevate the venue, ensuring it meets the needs of both corporate and social events,” said Sheila Bernardo, Sr. Operations Manager, Gallio Events Hall. 



A Tasteful Rendezvous: Transforming Spaces Into Memories

To mark its launch, Gallio hosted a Modern-Contemporary Filipino-themed evening. Event guests experienced a courtyard cocktail hour, a main program across the Talisay, Acacia, and Narra Halls, and an after-party in the Azotea, enjoying a gastronomic adventure, live entertainment, and an immersive experience of Gallio’s thoughtfully designed spaces.



Guests mingle and experience the elegance and vibrancy of Gallio Events Hall’s spaces during the Appreciation Night launch.


“This evening showcases how Gallio brings its vision to life, turning every detail, from the layout of the halls to the flow of the event, into a memorable, seamless, and distinctly Filipino experience that sets us apart in the events industry,” said Sheila Bernardo, Sr. Operations Manager, Gallio Events Hall.



Gallio Events Hall’s Courtyard Garden and Azotea highlight the open-air and after-party spaces of the venue.


From the Courtyard Garden’s open-air charm to the Main Hall’s refined grandeur and the Azotea’s vibrant after-party ambiance, guests experienced firsthand how each space could host weddings, corporate milestones, anniversaries, and other gatherings waiting to be brought to life.


Beyond the festivities, the Appreciation Night highlighted what Gallio represents: a venue where client visions become tangible experiences, partnerships are strengthened, and every event contributes to a shared story.


At the center of Aseana City, Gallio Events Hall redefines what a venue can be—an environment where stories unfold, connections deepen, and every celebration leaves a lasting impression.
