Tarot brings to life the classic fortune-telling deck, where a group of friends violate the sacred rule of Tarot readings– never use someone else’s deck. This unleashes an evil within the cursed cards where one by one, the group meet their deadly fate dealt to them. It’s up to the group to face the unspeakable evil and escape their foretold death.
Director-writer Anna Halberg, with her writing and directing partner Spencer Cohen, drew inspiration for Tarot from the inherent fear brought about the occult. “There’s something inherently scary about tarot cards and tarot readings,” Halberg says. “We love astrology and horoscopes because it’s a way to learn about yourself, but it’s also a way to bring clarity and to learn about the future. On the other hand, if you know what the future is going to hold, good or bad, it will influence the decisions that you make, and just because you could know what the future brings, I don’t know that it’s a good idea that you should.”
Halberg and Cohen aimed to make a horror film that plays well as a group experience. “Horror is best experienced in a group,” says Halberg. “There’s something so scary and fun about sitting in a dark theater with a group of strangers and going on this emotional rollercoaster.”
“It’s like being out on Halloween night and going to a haunted house with your friends,” adds Cohen. “We specifically designed this experience for the big screen.”
‘WHEN Magic Hurts’ is a romantic comedy film about a docile young guy, Ernest (played by Beaver Magtalas) and a miserable girl, Olivia (played by Mutya Orquia) stumble upon each, other in the breathtaking mountains of Atok, Benguet and find comfort mutually with the help of love and magic.
Synopsis: “In the stunning Atok Mountain of Benguet, fate orchestrates an encounter between a young man and a woman who each carry their own burdens. The young man is determined to prove himself to his parents, while the young woman is still reeling from the loss of both her parents.
“Once a believer in magic, the young woman now finds herself disillusioned and unable to trust in its power. But when their paths cross, a spark ignites between them, and they find solace in each other’s company.
“Will this meeting be the start of something magical, or will their pasts continue to haunt them? Can magic truly fulfill our deepest desires, or will only lead to heartbreak and despair? Get ready for a breathtaking adventure filled with hope, love, and the mysteries of the universe as these two young souls navigate the unpredictable twists and turns of fate.”
In the minds of young children, the word ‘magic’ brings joy and delight.
Imagine a word where magic is promised to be the answer to all your problems. A word where it’s believe that all your heart’s desires can be fulfilled with just a wave of a wand. But what happens when that magic becomes the source of your pain? What happens when the very thing you believed in turns against you?
What if you’re Olivia? A child who was promised the hope of magic, but now sees it a source of pain. How can she trust and believe that magic will fulfill the desires of her heart and mind? The very thought of it fills her with doubt and fear.
What if you’re Ernest? A child who promised to do everything in his power to keep his family together. How can he reconcile the desire of magic of love with the choice between his heart and his resolve? He’s torn between his family and his own dreams.
In a place where everything is seemingly controlled by magic of love, how can Trixie (Maxine Trinidad) fight for her feelings when she knows that doing so could end up hurting everyone involved? The stakes are high, and she must choose between her heart and the greater good.
The cold and beautiful Atok Mountain of Benguet will bring to life a cast of characters who we will come to know and love.
“When Magic Hurts” is written and directed by Gabby Ramos and co-written by Jerome Baguio. Showing in PH cinemas in May and it will have another premiere night at SM City Cabanatuan on April 19.

AT the Lionsgate panel at CinemaCon, we finally learned when director Guy Ritchie’s next feature will hit the big screen. Announced last year out of Cannes, the then-untitled In the Grey was announced as the action comedy veteran’s next big project with a handful of regular collaborators reuniting with him for the occasion, including The Covenant star Jake Gyllenhaal and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare alums Henry Cavill and Eiza González.
The film is now set to bow in theaters on January 17, 2025, and is currently in post-production as it gears up for release early next year.
Little was known about In the Grey to this point, but Ritchie and Cavill were both in attendance at the convention to offer a first look at what’s to come in the project. It’s set to follow “a group who operates in the middle of criminality and the law” with Cavill, Gyllenhaal, and González joining forces in the search for billions of dollars in stolen cash. Further plot details are being kept under wraps, but it sounds like prime Ritchie material with a humorous edge and plenty of action as it follows its larger-than-life protagonists on their daring mission
In addition to reuniting the trio of stars with the director, the film will also feature another powerful presence in recent Saltburn and The Wheel of Time star Rosamund Pike, though it’s unclear at this time what her role will be. Previously, González was announced to play a high-level female negotiator in In the Grey while Cavill and Gyllenhaal would collaborate as a pair of extraction specialists trying to find her a way out. More details are sure to come as the date draws closer, but for now, Cavill expressed how excited he was to work with all three of Ritchie, Gyllenhaal, and González again in a very positive environment. “Guy creates a wonderful environment on set.” he said at the convention. “It’s a creative freedom, certainly… In Guy’s case, it really is like family… there is a shorthand, there is a freedom of friendship.”Although In the Grey and Ritchie’s other big-screen efforts will draw plenty of attention in the coming months, he’s been firing on all cylinders of late on the small screen. His The Gentlemen television series starring Theo James has been among his best-received projects of late, earning high marks from critics and commanding massive viewership numbers on the Netflix charts upon its release back in March. A second season seems likely both because of the success and the ending which leaves the door open for Eddie’s story to continue, but there are undoubtedly steep hurdles ahead considering its cast, which also includes Kaya Scodelario, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, Daniel Ings, Giancarlo Esposito, and Ray Winstone among others, and Ritchie’s full plate. Until that day comes when viewers can return to the shady side of London, In the Grey looks to provide plenty of high-stakes action with Gyllenhaal, Cavill, and González in Europe when it arrives next year.

HE’S only the stuntman, but he’s stealing the show.
Fresh from his Oscar®-nominated turn as Ken in “Barbie,” Ryan Gosling stars as a stuntman coming out of a brief hiatus and straight into a crazy conspiracy in “The Fall Guy,” a new action thriller with the perfect dose of comedy, irreverence and romance, from director David Leitch. Not only does Leitch’s directorial credits boast of hits such as “Bullet Train,” “Deadpool 2,” “Atomic Blonde” and “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw”; he himself used to be a stunt performer.

At the SXSW premiere of “The Fall Guy” in March, Gosling gave a shout out to his own stunt performer for the film, Logan Holladay. “There is a moment in the film where he buckles me in for a stunt that he is about to do. Then I get out of the car and he pats me on the back for a stunt that he just did,” said Gosling. “What I love about this movie is in any other film, you would never know that but in this one you do. It’s an opportunity to finally acknowledge the stunt performers and the incredible contribution that they already make to movies.”
Blunt, who also just had a very successful awards season thanks to her Oscar®-nominated performance in “Oppenheimer,” plays Jody Moreno, director of the mega-budget movie that Colton is currently working on – and also his not so welcoming ex.
Blunt had a blast exploring the world of making action movies from the inside. “Here we show the juxtaposition of the spectacle and the reality of making movies, which is beautiful. It’s absurd and wonderful at the same time,” said Blunt. “And there is another layer of tension that comes with action films, like setting up these stunts for hours to then drop someone off a building.”
“The Fall Guy” is director David Leitch’s most personal film yet, a love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated crew of people who make them. In the hands of Leitch, the film offers an exciting inside look at what it’s like to be on a huge action movie set. “It was a love letter to stunts. We knew we had to be authentic in that world,” said Leitch, who produced the film with his producing partner and wife Kelly McCormick, and Gosling, at the SXSW festival.
