Last April 29, Star Cinema and Viva gathered the bloggers for a pocket conference to know more about the movie and what the characters are all about. Present on the blogcon was Shy Carlos, AJ Muhlach, Julia Barretto, Inigo Pascual, James Reid, Nadine Lustre and the director Andoy Ranay. Para Sa Hopeless Romantic is centered on the theory that each person have a love story which can be written in any way that will please us and that all of us desires for a happy ending. According to Nadine, PSHR is different from her other two movies because the previous movies are romantic-comedy and this one is more on drama. Much realistic as well because according to the writer, the kilig moments in this movie happened in real life.
James and Nadine will lay the role of Nikko and Becca, ex-lovers who have different dispositions about love. Shy and AJ will play as best friends to Nikko and Becca. In an alternative reality that exists only in Becca;s mind, Inigo and Julia play the roles of Ryan and Maria who represent the state of Becca’s heart.
Direk Andoy also shares his challenge in doing the movie. According to him, “May style! May style akong ginawa because this is cinema, uhhm, kelangan yung pagkwento mo ay mag-reach ng mas malaking audience. Kasi may audience na yung libro eh, meron ng fans. Ang challenge for me is kung paano mo pa cya ito ikwe-kwento at kung paano magkakaroon ng interes yung mga hindi pa nakabasa ng libro. At yun ay makikita nyo sa pelikulang ito kapag napanuod na ninyo.”
Will they get the HAPPY ENDING they truly deserve? Watch Para Sa Hopeless Romantic on May 13 in cinemas nationwide.
