MANILA, Philippines—GMA 7 has found three new super heroes in Dennis Trillo, Marky Cielo and Aljur Abrenica, who are donning the sleek spandex costumes of Zaido—the Pinoy Shaider.
The new prime time series “Zaido” is based on the Japanese live-action series “Shaider,” which ran from 1984 to ’85.
“Shaider” is part of the “Metal Heroes” genre. Dennis is the Blue Zaido; Marky, Green; and Aljur, Red.
Other cast members are Lorna Tolentino, Tirso Cruz III, Raymart Santiago, Jay Manalo, Ian de Leon, Diana Zubiri, Lovi, and Kris Bernal as Amy.
Diana and Karel are Dennis’ partners on the show.
When Inquirer Entertainment caught up with Dennis, he had been taping “Zaido” and the afternoon soap “Kung Mahawi Man ang Ulap” back-to-back for five days straight.
After a short nap, Dennis was again on the road.
“I’m on my way to Laguna, to shoot a perya (carnival) scene for ‘Zaido,’” he related. “We haven’t done major fight scenes yet. But we’ve been training regularly.”
Aljur has been going to the gym at least once a week, “Dennis said.
Aljur added: “The three of us had the chance to bond during our martial-arts and motorbike training.”
It was Marky’s first motorbike ride. “It was addicting,” he said. “On my last spin, though, I fell!”
Dennis is excited that he gets to use a laser sword and gun, and do acrobatic stunts on a harness.
The award-winning actor was an avid fan of “Shaider” when it first aired on IBC-13.
“I really enjoyed the stunts,” he recalled. “And the story was ahead of its time. I was amazed by the gigantic robots fighting with the monsters.”
For the Pinoy version, Dennis said the network’s production team had “reinvented and modernized” the Shaider saga.
“We want viewers to find it exciting and unpredictable,” he said.
