Anne Curtis, a prominent actress and TV personality, recently expressed her desire on Twitter to obtain a 4K copy of “Magic Kingdom,” a film she worked on early in her career. She hopes to share this enhanced version with her daughter Dahlia Amélie Heussaff when she grows older. Curtis values the movie for its message of courage in the face of challenges and wishes to pass this lesson on to her child.
“Magic Kingdom: Ang Alamat ng Damortis,” a 1997 fantasy adventure movie, holds a special place in Curtis’ heart. She portrayed Princess Dahlia in the film at the age of 12, a role she considers a core memory. Curtis recently shared throwback photos from the film on her Instagram, reminiscing about the time when movie posters were painted in the streets of Manila and films were shot on actual film. This movie, directed by Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes and produced by Viva Films, won several awards at the 23rd Metro Manila Film Festival and was a significant step in Curtis’ acting career.
Curtis is celebrating 25 years in the entertainment industry, expressing her ongoing passion for acting. She’s excited about her upcoming collaboration with director Erik Matti, who was the assistant director for “Magic Kingdom.” The post about “Magic Kingdom” and her role as Princess Dahlia garnered reactions from the film community, including comments from Matti, her co-star Junell Hernando, and her sister Jasmine Curtis-Smith, who reminisced about the film and the impact of Anne’s role on her life.
