A few months ago, it was reported that Thai heartthrob Mario Maurer who inked an edorsement deal with Filipino clothing line Penshoppe will also be doing a movie in the country. During that time, however, it was not yet clear who will be his Filipina leading lady in the upcoming movie. Kim Chiu's name came out but according to reports, it was Erich Gonzales who was recommended by Star Cinema because of her "acting skills" and "Filipina looks" which made her a "perfect fit for the role."

Mario Maurer has arrived in Manila on Wednesday and on the same day he signed a one-movie contract with Star Cinema. It was revealed that day that it is indeed Erich Gonzales who will topbill the movie with Mario Maurer.

The said Mario Maurer-Erich Gonzales movie has been given the title “Suddenly It’s Magic” and will be released in 2012.

According to Joyce Ramirez of PR Asia Worldwide, "Suddenly It's Magic" will be about "a Thai celebrity who was betrayed by the one he loves so he escapes his country and visits Manila where the story begins."
