Iza Calzado Hollywood Star

Iza Calzado is going to Hollywood, and it’s not about American Idol. She is going to Hollywood as an actress, hopefully, an A-Lister. One of the few, if not the ONLY, Filipino who is going to star in a Hollywood movie. What is it all about? well, it’s about Iza Calzado appearing in the Hollywood remake of Regal Films’ suspense-thriller “Sigaw.” Sigaw starred Iza, Richard Gutierrez and Angel Locsin, which made a splash in a filmfest in L.A. in 2003.
Filipino filmmaker Yam Laranas will shoot the English remake of his
2000 thriller Sigaw in Toronto for one month beginning Aug. 13.
Now titled “The Echo,” the film stars Jesse Bradford (Flags of Our
Fathers, Swimfan) and Scottish actress Louise Linton.
The Echo is the story of an ex-convict who moves into an old
apartment building and becomes trapped in a curse when he tries to
save his neighbour from her abusive husband.
Based on the novel by Jose Saramago, the film is about a woman who
becomes the only person who can see in a town where everyone is
struck with blindness. As the town descends into chaos, she pretends
to be sick so that she can take care of her doctor husband.
