Iza Calzado not interested to play "Darna" villainess

The actress denies rumours that she is bidding to play Valentina in the upcoming movie

24 Nov - Actress Iza Calzado has denied rumours that she wanted to play "Darna" villainess, Valentina, in the upcoming movie.

According to Push, the actress, who attended fashion brand BAYO event as its ambassador recently, stated that playing the role of the sultry snake goddess would be difficult for her, since she was "not so fond of snakes."

"I have had my fair share of the fantasy genre, what with the harness, costumes and heavy make-up," said Calzado, who played Amihan, the keeper of the Jewel of Air in the hit 2005 series, "Encantadia".

"Nowadays, I would rather just do a straight drama. Those are more character intensive. I really don't like snakes," she said.

In related news, Calzado's new supernatural movie, "Haunted Mansion", which has been selected as an official entry for the Metro Manila Film Festival, is set to be released this 25 December.
