Angelica Panganiban, Gerald Anderson Team Up for Sexy Drama Movie

Award-winning actors Angelica Panganiban and Gerald Anderson will be working together in the big screen for the first time in a sexy drama movie under Star Cinema. This was announced in a story conference held Friday.

Direk Ruel also said that the movie is a big challenge not only for him but also for his actors.

"We want to keep it cinematic, engaging, emotional, compelling. Napakahirap na itimpla no'n... [To me, this is a challenge to make a film that is] sexy, mature, quiet, and restrained. Iba 'yung gano'n, eh. Pag hinuhuli mo 'yung porma, hindi mo agad mapi-pinpoint, at 'yun ang challenge para sa'kin doon," he told ABS-CBN News.

Meanwhile, the director also revealed that Angelica and Gerald will have many love scenes in the film, the story of which he describes as "a different kind of love that will obviously appeal to a more mature audience."

"There will be a lot of love scenes because when you talk about passion and mature love, hindi naman maiiwasan ‘yun (sexy scenes) kasi you're not young and confused anymore. Iba pag 'yung mature ka na. It's adult, I can say that. It's an adult kind of love story, adult kind of drama."

Gerald Anderson and Angelica Panganiban will be starting to shoot for the movie on Monday. The film is slated to be released this year.

Yesterday, May 8 Dingdong Dantes attended the story conference for their movie One More Try. Angelica Panganiban and Zanjoe Marudo were also present in the story con, as well as the movie director, Ruel S. Bayani. However, Angel Locsin was unable to attend due to previous commitments.

The movie One More Try is said to be more daring compared to previous Ruel Bayani hit, No Other Woman. The story is so compelling and one that is not common, according to the lead actors.

“Hubad lang kami dito all the way, hindi kami nakadamit. Sobrang sexy eh,” said Angelica Panganiban, kidding aside.

“Hindi siya common na mangyari, plus the fact na napakaganda ng storya, so we’ll give our best in this one,” exclaimed Dingdong.

In One More Try, Dingdong and Angelica are married to each other but their characters will be romantically involved with the characters played by Angel Locsin and Zanjoe Marudo.

Dingdong said that he was very fortunate to be given another chance to do a movie with Star Cinema. It can be recalled that 2 of Dingdong's movie are co-produced and distributed by Star Cinema - Kimmy Dora and Segunda Mano where Dingdong received his first Best Actor award in the Metro Manila Film Festival 2011.

“I feel very fortunate that I was given another chance. I’m very excited,” Dingdong was quoted as saying in an interview with ABS-CBN News during the story conference held on May 8. “I’m happy to work with Star Cinema again because they gave me such a wonderful experience exactly a year ago.”

Could this movie project give Dingdong another Best Actor trophy or Angel and Angelica another acting award? Will this also be Zanjoe's track to clinching one acting accolade? Only the stars know.

In lieu with this movie project, rumor has it that Marian Rivera fans are now worried since it is not only Angel Locsin that will be paired up with Dingdong but also an equally hot and appealing Angelica Panganiban. Dingdong, however said that Marian will surely support him in this movie even with doing the sexy scenes with his lead actresses.
