Angel Locsin will fly again as the iconic superheroine Darna in a movie she described as a first in Philippine cinema in terms of scale. The 29-year-old actress, who first played the Mars Ravelo-created character in 2005, confirmed on Thursday that she will reprise the coveted role in a Star Cinema-produced film. Award-winning director Erik Matti will direct the project, Locsin said.
The Kapamilya star had just finished meeting with the creative team and Star Cinema executives when she spoke with reporters about the movie, which is still untitled. "Naku, you have no idea kung gaano kalaki! Kasi kahit ako, nagulat, eh. Hindi niyo (Star Cinema) 'yan sa akin sinasabi. Sabi ko, 'Sandali lang, ha. Ganito pala kalaki ito?' As in, never ako naka-experience ng ganito kalaking project, o nakarinig man lang. "First time ito. First time ito sa buong history ng Pilipinas," she said. Locsin referred to Star Cinema's vision for the film as "daring," citing the people involved behind the camera. The rest of the cast cannot be divulged at this time, the actress added.
"Ang tapang! Ang tapang ng Star Cinema para gawin itong project na 'to," said Locsin. "And ako, bilang napili nilang artista dito, sobrang... Hanggang ngayon, speechless talaga ako! Overwhelmed ako kung gaano kalaking proyekto, gaano kaganda, at kung gaano kagagaling 'yung mga tao na kinuha nila behind ng camera." "Ang makakatrabaho ko dito, best of the best ng industriya talaga."
'World-class'
BIG BUDGET. Base sa naganap na pakikipag-meeting niya sa top executives at creative team ng Star Cinema, ipinagmalaki ni Angel na pagkakagastusan ng husto ang special effects at iba pang aspeto ng pelikula. “Lagi nila sinasabi ‘pag fantasy movie, medyo nahihirapan tayo sa budget at effects. Pero dito all in talaga.” Malaki rin ang tiwala ni Angel sa mga bigating pangalan ang makakatrabaho niya kabilang na si Direk Erik Matti at Dondon Monteverde ng Reality Entertainment. “He’s the best pagdating dito sa mga fantasy movies. May special effects talaga. Si Kuya Don, si Direk Erik Matti… I’m just so happy na sila yung nalagay sa proyektong ito. “Nakita n’yo naman yung ibang pelikula nila, as in mapapapangaga ka talaga. “Pero sinasabi nila, ‘Ay, wala pa ‘yan. Wait and see. Ito yung mga gagawin namin.’ “Kinukuwento pa lang nila parang nalulula na ako.
“Dream come true for me talaga na meron na tayong ganitong kagandang technology para sa mga ganitong klaseng project, yung mga lipad-lipad.”

So from the team that gave us stunning special effects on Tiktik the Aswang Chronicles, Reality Entertainment and from the film outfit that gave us quality romcom films Star Cinema, will joined force to give us the updated and new version of Darna on big screen. Coming soon on 2015. MMFF is a good playdate for me for this film.
