After a successful digital episodic series six years ago which was originally conceived by Pepsi, the fan-favorite character jumps from the digital world to the big screen in “Uncle Drew.”


The episodic franchise has amassed over 95 million views since inception and now, NBA All-star Kyrie Irving gets to reprise his role as Uncle Drew and his bringing his friends with him and some more. After draining his life savings to enter a team in the Rucker Classic street ball tournament in Harlem, Dax (Lil Rel Howery) is dealt a series of unfortunate setbacks, including losing his team to his longtime rival (Nick Kroll). Desperate to win the tournament and the cash prize, Dax stumbles upon the man, the myth, the legend UNCLE DREW (NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving) and convinces him to return to the court one more time. The two men embark on a road trip to round up Drew's old basketball squad (Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson, and Lisa Leslie) and prove that a group of septuagenarians can still win the big one. The film is rated G by the MTRCB which means all ages can enter the cinema with or without an adult.
The film, aside from showcasing basketball, also tackles themes such as family, friendship and teamwork. “Uncle Drew” opens in Philippine cinemas June 27, 2018 from Lionsgate Pictures, locally distributed by Rafaella Films International.

VIVA International Pictures proudly presents “Adrift”, an incredible true story about the resilience of the human spirit and the transcendent power of love. Based on the book by Tami Oldham Ashcraft.

Two young lovers, Tami Oldham and Richard Sharp, sail across the ocean together. Filled with romance and excitement, they never anticipated to be sailing directly into a hurricane that whips up 40-foot waves and 140-knot winds, making it one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in recorded history.

In the aftermath of the storm, Tami awakens to a dilapidated boat, with Richard nowhere in sight. Panic-stricken, she tries to radio for help and put the boat back in order. By some miracle, she finds Richard in the waters, badly injured. With no hope for rescue, Tami must find the strength and determination to save herself and the man she can’t see herself living without.

Taking the role of Tami is Shailene Woodley (The Fault in our Stars / Divergent), while Richard is played by Sam Claflin (Me Before You / The Hunger Games).

Aaron Kandell (Walt Disney’s Moana), one of the movie’s screenwriters, reveals that he and his twin brother Jordan wrote the story with Woodley in mind. When they visited Tami Oldham in her home in the San Juan Islands, they instantly saw her strength and her free spirit, and she reminded them so much of Woodley whom they’ve known since her role in “The Descendants”.

“So as soon as we finished (the script), she was the first person we sent it to,” Jordan adds.

Woodley says, “I was so captivated by it, by who Tami is and the love story. I really felt the energy of the divine soulmate connection between Tami and her fiancée, Richard. A swimmer, but not at all a pro in sailing, the actress spent about a month before production in Hawaii learning how to sail on all different types of boats.

Claflin bagged the role of Richard after a phone call with the acclaimed director Baltasar Kormakur (Everest, The Oath) convinced him that he was “totally right for the role”.

Woodley and Claflin rehearsed together for two weeks in Fiji prior to principal photography.

“It was so helpful…We really just clicked,” says Woodley about her co-star, whom she further describes as “hands down, the hardest-working, most generous, compassionate individual” she’s ever worked with. Woodley continues, “The elements that we were working in were not easy, shooting on a boat in open water for 14 hours. Never once did he complain.”

About midway into production, Tami herself visited set, making the cast feel that she truly embraced this film. “It was amazing to meet her finally but also, I was hyper-aware of how emotional this experience must be for her, the trauma of being stuck out at sea. My prayer is that she has found healing as well through this experience,” Woodley says.

“One of the first things she said to me was, ‘You remind me of him (Richard) so much,’ which was really a special moment for me,” notes Claflin. “Having her seal of approval was so important.”

“Adrift” filmed for 49 days, primarily on location in Fiji, with a few weeks on stage in New Zealand. It opens in cinemas on June 27, 2018.
