NEW CLIP from That's What I Am - In Theaters This Friday

Official Synopsis:

Set in California against the backdrop of the mid-sixties, That’s What I Am is a coming-of-age story that follows 12-year-old Andy Nichol (Chase Ellison), a bright student who, like most kids his age, will do anything to avoid conflict for fear of suffering overwhelming ridicule and punishment from his junior high school peers.

Everyone’s favorite teacher, Mr. Simon (Ed Harris), pairs Andy with the school’s biggest outcast and social pariah, Stanley aka “Big G” (Alexander Walters), on a critical school project. Sporting thick orange hair, a head too big for his body and ears too big for his head, “Big G” has been the object of ridicule since grade school. Before long, Andy will learn that there was truly a method behind Mr. Simon’s madness as to why he teamed these two up.

After a dramatic incident in the schoolyard, teachers and parents rethink their roles in school and society. Principal Kelner (Amy Madigan) suspends a school bully for brutally beating up a female classmate. The vindictive father of the bully makes Mr. Simon the target of a malicious rumor about his sexuality, causing Mr. Simon to question his calling as an educator and mentor to his students.

When Andy watches “Big G” fearlessly confront the school bully about the incident, a series of events are triggered. Much to Andy’s surprise, he learns that “Big G” is a brilliant, kind, tolerant human being, who as more dignity than anyone Andy has ever encountered.

Big G personifies Mr. Simon’s four word answer on how to obtain world peace:

HUMAN DIGNITY + COMPASSION = PEACE.

The unit is inhabited by strange tenants. Grace starts to experience haunting, sightings, to the extent of incubus. Later in their stay, they find out that they are expecting a baby and are thrilled with the answered prayer.

As Grace starts to pursue the occurences in the building, she discovers that the building was built on a "TUMBOK," a convergence of three roads which is believed to be unlucky. Tragic deaths happen caused by Mark, the building caretaker who turns out to be the devil trapping souls into the vortex. He is also the incubus that makes love to Grace.

Sarah Geronimo, Gerald Anderson's new movie "Just The Way You Are" in the works!

Update: The new title of the movie is "Catch Me I'm In Love".

An interesting team up of the Pop/Box-Office Princess Sarah Geronimo and Action Drama Prince Gerald Anderson is currently being cooked. Yes, the two Kapamilya stars are working on their first movie together entitled, "Just The Way You Are".


The taping of the new movie started without a title and now it has been revealed and confirmed by a blog that "Just The Way You Are" will be its title.

Hmmmmm... What do you think about it, guys? How does the title appeal to you?

And since we witnessed on the axed TV show "Idol" that Sarah-Sam and Sarah-Coco weren't successful pair ups, do you think Sarah-Gerald loveteam would work this time around?

I also wonder if Bruno Mars who is coming to Philippines for a concert will be recording his song with the same title for the movie... :D

Check out the details of Bruno Mars' Concert in Manila and Cebu this April HERE.
