To be shot mostly in Thailand, Erich and Mario's movie, according to Ramirez, will be about "a Thai celebrity who was betrayed by the one he loves so he escapes his country and visits Manila where the story begins."

Mario is currently in the country for his Penshoppe endorsement. He as well signed a one-movie contract with Star Cinema on Wednesday. His movie with Erich will reportedly be released next year.

Meanwhile, Erich is gracing on the cover of Women's Health Magazine's November 2011 issue. Take a look of her cover photo here: http://noypistuff.blogspot.com/2011/10/erich-gonzales-shamcey-supsup-nora.html

A few months ago, it was reported that Thai heartthrob Mario Maurer who inked an edorsement deal with Filipino clothing line Penshoppe will also be doing a movie in the country. During that time, however, it was not yet clear who will be his Filipina leading lady in the upcoming movie. Kim Chiu's name came out but according to reports, it was Erich Gonzales who was recommended by Star Cinema because of her "acting skills" and "Filipina looks" which made her a "perfect fit for the role."

Mario Maurer has arrived in Manila on Wednesday and on the same day he signed a one-movie contract with Star Cinema. It was revealed that day that it is indeed Erich Gonzales who will topbill the movie with Mario Maurer.

The said Mario Maurer-Erich Gonzales movie has been given the title “Suddenly It’s Magic” and will be released in 2012.

According to Joyce Ramirez of PR Asia Worldwide, "Suddenly It's Magic" will be about "a Thai celebrity who was betrayed by the one he loves so he escapes his country and visits Manila where the story begins."

Thai model and actor Mario Maurer is set to do a film under Star Cinema and a TV show on ABS-CBN once he arrives in the Philippines, PR Asia Worldwide Communications director Joyce Ramirez revealed Sunday.

Although still premature since official casting has not been started, Ramirez said Kapamilya actress Erich Gonzales would most likely be Maurio Maurer's leading lady in the movie project after a recommendation from Star Cinema.

"ERICH GONZALES is the TOP actress recommended to us by Star Cinema - her acting skills, Filipina looks make her a perfect fit for the ROLE," Ramirez tweeted.

However, Ramirez reiterated that the Mario Maurer-Erich Gonzales movie is not final yet.

"THE SELECTION of the ACTRESS position will only be revealed after Mario Maurer reviews the SCRIPT - so nothing is FINAL yet! Thank you," she said.

Earlier this month, Mario Maurer was reported to be coming to Manila for a Penshoppe endorsement.
