"Zuma" on ABS-CBN

ABS-CBN will remake the classic fantasy story of Zuma but will center the plot on Zuma's daughter, Galema. Zuma was made into a film in the mid-80s starring Max Laurel and Snooky Serna as Galema. In the second film, though, a certain Jenny Lyn did the part of Galema.

Comics writer Jim Fernandez created Zuma during the 70s for Aliwan comics and it was a hit among comics fans that the story continued up to the early 80s. Zuma, having green skin and a two-headed snake resting on his shoulders, is a demi-god who feeds on the hearts of virgins. Aside from Galema, he also has a son named Dino, characterized as having a head of a dinosaur/snake.

It was first rumored that Zuma would be a GMA-7 movie, but it is now confirmed that ABS-CBN is the one adapting it. The question, though, of who would star in the series, still remains.

Anne Curtis is reportedly being tapped for the role of Galema. Come to think of it, she's the only one left without a project, upcoming or otherwise.

Kristine Hermosa has Maruja, Angel Locsin has Only You, KC Concepcion has Lovers in Paris, Judy Ann Santos has the still-hasn't-been-aired Humingi Ako sa Langit, and so on...

IMO, Anne will do a good Galema. She had been a centaur, a bird, a mermaid... After all that, I think being a snake would already be effortless. Just kidding. But I honestly think she's good for the role. Hhhssssssssssss...
