But it isn’t long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket’s turbulent past.

The name Mary Cherry Chua became popular in the early 2000s. According to the urban legend, Mary is an intelligent young student who was raped and killed by the school janitor. Stories say that up to now, her spirit still wanders the school premises.
Get a new perspective about this famed school urban legend written and directed by 2018 CineFilipino finalist Roni S. Benaid. “I remember nung high school ako, sikat siya sa amin. Gusto kong ibalik siya at ipakilala sa younger generations, sa mga Gen-Z.” (I remember that it was a very famous story back when I was in high school. I wanted to introduce it to the younger generation, to Gen Z.) says the director on why he chose to bring this famous horror story into the big screen.
Mary Cherry Chua (Abby Bautista) was a student back in the 60s from a prestigious school. A cheerful young girl with long black hair, Mary Cherry Chua has it all – she’s beautiful, rich, and smart. She is adored and envied by many and is known as their school’s Miss Popular. But her seemingly perfect life is cut short when she is found lifeless on their campus grounds and declared to have been raped and murdered.
Joko Diaz
At present, Karen (Ashley Diaz), a high school student who enjoys reading horror stories and urban legends, is so intrigued about Mary Cherry Chua’s life that she decides to re-open the case to do a little investigation of her own and further strengthen the evidence about the crime. With the help of her friends and classmates, Karen gets new information about the case. But as she digs deeper, looking for the truth, it seems that she may have also been digging her own grave after she uncovers something that could endanger her own life.
Mary Cherry Chua is Ashley Diaz’s first lead role in a movie. Ashley shares how she managed to handle the pressure while working for this movie, “There will always be pressure naman sa bawat project pero iba po talaga kasi kapag first lead mo tapos solo ka pa, pero nasa sayo naman yon kung i-take mo yung pressure positively or negatively. Eh ngayon naman I’m taking it positively.” (There will always be pressure in every project, especially if it’s your first lead role and solo project, but it’s up to you if you will take the pressure positively or negatively. Right now, I’m taking it positively.)
Ashley Diaz
She also shares the biggest challenge she had to face in portraying her character, “Pinaka-challenging na ginawa ko for this role ay yung nagpagupit ako, kasi halos years bago ko napahaba yung buhok ko, pero for the role I cut it short. Worth it naman.” (The most challenging thing that I did for this role was cutting my hair. It took years for me to grow my hair and make it long, but for the role, I had to cut it short. Well, it was worth it.)
Ashley’s father, award-winning actor, Joko Diaz gives his all-out support as he plays Mr. Manzano, Karen’s term paper adviser. “Kay Ashley, I’m a proud papa, pero siyempre kailangan gina-guide mo pa rin siya.” (With Ashley, well I’m a proud papa, but of course, you still have to guide her for this movie.)
Mary Cherry Chua also stars young and promising stars: Kokoy De Santos as Paco (Karen’s coward research partner), Lyca Gairanod as Faith (Karen’s supportive best friend), Krissha Viaje as Lena (Karen’s protective sister) and Abby Bautista as Mary Cherry Chua. Playing a very important role in the film is Ms. Alma Moreno who will play Ms. Estrella, who will give crucial information about Mary Cherry Chua’s death. Direk Roni expresses his appreciation for the cast and their professionalism “Lahat sila cooperative, tinutulungan nila ako maituro ko sa kanila or masabi ko sa kanila yung intention ng character.” (All of them are very cooperative. They allow me to help them and guide them with the intention of their characters.)
Netflix has announced the production of The Trunk, a mystery series featuring Korea’s A-list talents Seo Hyun-jin and Gong Yoo. The story draws a whirlwind of unforeseen events and secrets after a mystifying trunk is found in the depths of a lake.
Seo Hyun-jin, known for her transformative performances in Another Miss Oh and The Beauty Inside, will play In-ji, an employee of an intriguing matchmaking organization, NM. Gong Yoo, celebrated for his roles inGuardian: The Lonely and Great God and Train to Busan, and Netflix’s Squid Game & The Silent Sea, is set to depict Jeong-won, a solitary music producer who finds himself in an unexpected marriage contract with In-ji.
Jeong-won ironically encounters his “second wife” In-ji through a contract-based marriage service arranged by his ex-wife Seo-yeon. However, their lives take a twist when a mysterious trunk found in the lake throws them into a whirlwind of secrets and events behind the matchmaking service.
Penned by Park Eun-young of Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth and directed by Kim Gyu-tae, famed for his work in Our Blues, The Trunk is set to attract attention for its unique storyline and the dream pairing of Seo Hyun-jin and Gong Yoo. The Trunkwill premiere exclusively on Netflix.
Greta Gerwig, who directed the highly anticipated “Barbie” movie. The best way to achieve this? Pink, and lots of it! “One of the first days I met with [production designer] Sarah Greenwood and the art team, we looked at all the different shades of pink to determine how they would interact,” adds Gerwig. “As a little girl, I liked the brightest pinks, but Barbie Land would incorporate the full spectrum of the color, so it was important to figure out where those bright pinks would live alongside our palest, pastel pink, and of course every tone of pink in between.”
Another unique thing about Barbie Land: “There’s no place for Newton’s laws in Barbie Land,” says Gerwig. “There is no wind, there is no sun, no gravity and no water, but as filmmakers we do live in a world of physics, so when dealing with the reality of Barbie Land, there were the rules of Barbie Land and then there were the rules we’ve set up for the filmmaking, and then how those two things interacted. I’m in love with 1950s soundstage musicals, those wonderfully artificial spaces, and because Barbie was invented in 1959, it felt like we could ground everything in that look and not be so beholden to it. I want everyone to feel like they can reach up to the screen and touch everything, because that’s the great thing about dolls and toys.”
Gerwig grew up with Barbie. She shares that when she was little, “I was always waiting for our neighbors’ children to grow tired of theirs so they would give me the hand-me-down Barbies. That was the big thing I was always looking forward to. I have a very vivid, visceral memory of Barbie and what it meant.”
Her own love for Barbie when she was a kid helped Gerwig understand Barbie the way she’s meant to be understood. “The idea of the multiplicity of the Barbies and then the Kens really did come out of my first meeting with Mattel, when I started talking about different characters and they said, ‘No, we don’t have different characters. All of these women are Barbie,’” shares Gerwig. “And I replied that if all of these women are Barbie then Barbie is all of these women, and they said, ‘Yes.’”
Greta Gerwig
Robbie Brenner, who runs the movie division of Mattel, and is one of the producers of “Barbie,” lauds Gerwig’s vision for the film. “It’s amazing how Barbie has evolved as something really wonderful to play with and also to dream with,” she says. “That said, there are people who aren’t fans of Barbie, and Greta and Noah [Baumbach] did what they do so brilliantly, which is to explore all sides of Barbie and of the conversation around Barbie. By laughing with and embracing all things about Barbie at the same time makes the movie complex, interesting and simply brilliant.”
Margot Robbie, who plays the titular doll in the film, gives high praise to Gerwig too: “Greta has this superpower in the vibe she creates on set, which is so in line with what we wanted Barbie Land to be: bright, happy and supportive. Greta is the happiest, loveliest, most supportive director and she’s also insanely talented. She’s literally got Barbie energy.”
The highly anticipated movie about the iconic doll has been rated PG without cuts by the Movie & Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), which means children below 13 years old and below will be allowed admission if they are accompanied by an adult.
“Barbie” has also been granted permits for exhibition without cuts in other Asian countries such as Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea.

Paris Fashionweek was in full swing at the Dover Street Market as ASICS wowed the crowd with the debuting ASICS SportStyle GT-2160™, a premium concept sneaker created in partnership with top fashion brands. The two-floor, collaborative Pop-Up event showcased the different variations of GT-2160™, as interpreted by the likes of Cecilie Bahnsen, DIME, Hal Studios® and AIREI.
The GT-2160™ is the brand’s pinnacle of ASICS SportStyle running technology, and this celebrative collaboration aims to showcase their evolution since the 2010s. The iconic design language now sports an updated silhouette and three new colorways.
Stealthy sci-fi with Cecilie Bahnsen
The ASICS GT-2160™ Cecilie Bahnsen in White/ Pure Silver (c) stephane sby balmy
The popular Danish womenswear designer gave her timeless celebration of modern femininity a sleeker, more modern twist with the ASICS Sportstyle GT-2160™. The sneaker comes in two contrasting colorways and a semi-translucent mesh upper– both capturing the embodiment of noir, sci-fi, and playful self-expression.
The semi-futuristic design exudes a “Tokyo after dark” mood, as inspired by the work of renowned Japanese photographer, Takashi Homma.
The sneaker was presented in a gallery format, with the walls adorned with framed large-scale prints that reflect the heart and soul put into this collaboration, as well as the Tokyo in twilight imagery. The ASICS SportStyle GT-2160™ x Cecilie Bahnsen will be priced at PHP 14,290 and be made available locally some time in November.
Dime makes a statement
Creative and fun visual storytelling has always been the name of the game for Dime. The Montreal-native fashion brand is well-known for their humorous, graphic-driven skateboarding fashion. In this collaboration, they’ve decided to showcase a more rugged and playful, yet classy and chic interpretation.
The modernized 2000s silhouette became the centerpiece for their ASICS GT 2160™ design, with gradient elements such as a mesh upper and midsole, bringing together both current and classic aesthetics.
Dime’s immersive pop-up theme paid homage to their humble, gritty beginnings in skate culture with wavy, tactile aesthetics that mirrored their famous design language.
HAL STUDIOS® brings a melting pot of culture
The creative house of HAL STUDIOS® made sure to showcase their meticulous sampling of various subcultures brought to life in their design concepts. This third collaboration with ASICS embodies the brand’s core elements as it strikes a balance between fashion and function.
The GEL -1130™ MK III “Glacier” reflects the rugged textures of the world’s topography, simulating the frozen terrain of actual glaciers. The contrasting black and white simulate the tones of black sand beaches and snowy valleys which served as inspiration for the MK III’s design language.
Following through with their glacial theme, the HAL STUDIOS® installation showcased the collaborative sneakers encased in blocks of ice, housed in industrial freezers. This “cool” theme draws inspiration from the principles of readymade art, and appreciating it from a distance. The ASICS SportStyle GEL-1130™ x HAL STUDIOS® will be priced at Php 9,990 and be made available locally this August.
A celebration of the human experience with AIREI
The Los Angeles-based concept brand kept things fresh in their partnership with ASICS. Known for their artisanal touch and attention to detail, they’re bringing a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition GT-2160™ through the collaborative Crafts for Mind program.
AIREI’s Autumn/Winter 2023 collection theme, “Refuge, Deluge, Transfuge,” saw the debut of this new GT-2160™ in a harmonic fusion between avant-garde and athletic excellence. The sneaker’s theme embodied the hero’s journey, pushing one to set out on their own adventure.
This ASICS x AIREI concept will be through theCrafts for Mind project. The proceeds will be dedicated to the Right to Play organization.
Filipino fashion icons bring the ASICS hype
The ASICS SportStyle Pop-up Event saw the biggest names in the Filipino Sportstyle fashion scene. David Guison, Ry Velasco, Bella Racelis, and LA Aquinaldo displayed their own curated ensembles featuring the best of ASICs sportstyle shoes in a harmonic fusion made fit for only the likes of Paris Fashion week.
They each took turns in showcasing the various colorways of the new ASICS Sportstyle models from the Spring Summer 2023 Collection and garnered much buzz as they created content in the ASICS Paris Fashion Week Pop-Up Showroom featuring the different collaboration shoes of GT-2160™. As expected, the boldness brought by the new ASICS designs fit perfectly with the artistic flair of each outfit.
