Coco Martin and Gretchen Barretto in a 'May-December Love Affair' Movie Concept

Gretchen Barretto and Coco Martin might be working together in a movie sometime soon. In her interview with ABS-CBN showbiz oriented talk show The Buzz on Sunday, Gretchen said that she's open to work with Coco in a movie project.

Coco, according to Gretchen is trying to conceptualize a script about  a May-December love affair where they can again work together. It can be recalled that Gretchen had a guesting in Coco Martin's action drama series Juan Dela Cruz recently.

"Hindi ko pa naiisip iyon pero I’m flattered para maisip ni Coco iyon gawin with me," she said. 

"Lahat ng mga proyekto na dumating sa akin, puro magaganda. Basta na lang nahulog sa akin. So I feel like if we are meant to do a movie with Coco, I’d gladly do it," she added.

Aside from Coco, Gretchen Barretto said that she wanted to work with different actors, more especially those who she haven't work with yet. Gretchen, took her guesting in Toda Max as an example where she will work with most of the cast for the first time.

"Para sa akin, gusto ko makatrabaho lahat ng puwede ko pang hindi nakakatrabaho, mga hindi ko pa nakakasama," she said. "On Tuesday, I’m taping for ‘Toda Max’ and for the first time I’ll be working with Angel Locsin. I’m really looking forward to it, with Pokwang and Vhong Navarro. Gusto ko makilala lahat," she revealed.

There have been no confirmations yet on Gretchen's follow up project after Princess and I but there are reports that she might do the cancelled Alta which ABS-CBN is now resurrecting.
