Thai model and actor Mario Maurer is set to do a film under Star Cinema and a TV show on ABS-CBN once he arrives in the Philippines, PR Asia Worldwide Communications director Joyce Ramirez revealed Sunday.

Although still premature since official casting has not been started, Ramirez said Kapamilya actress Erich Gonzales would most likely be Maurio Maurer's leading lady in the movie project after a recommendation from Star Cinema.

"ERICH GONZALES is the TOP actress recommended to us by Star Cinema - her acting skills, Filipina looks make her a perfect fit for the ROLE," Ramirez tweeted.

However, Ramirez reiterated that the Mario Maurer-Erich Gonzales movie is not final yet.

"THE SELECTION of the ACTRESS position will only be revealed after Mario Maurer reviews the SCRIPT - so nothing is FINAL yet! Thank you," she said.

Earlier this month, Mario Maurer was reported to be coming to Manila for a Penshoppe endorsement.

PR Asia Worldwide Communications director Joyce Ramirez confirmed the news yesterday saying the Thai heartthrob has signed an endorsement deal with them. Ramirez added that Maurer will be the new endorser of local clothing brand Penshoppe. She also denied the rumor saying the Thai celebrity will be paired with Kapuso actress Marian Rivera.

There is also a rumor saying that Kim Chiu will be working with Mario Maurer when the latter gets here. However, it's not confirmed yet. (Update: Ms. Joyce Ramirez belied rumor about Kim Chiu and Mario Maurer. She said Mario is coming to the Philippines solely for Penshoppe).

Mario Maurer, 22, was best known for his lead roles in "The Love of Siam" (2007) and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (2011). When the second film was aired on ABS-CBN last month, it topped the daytime ratings.
