Sarah Geronimo and Coco Martin Movie Starts Shooting Next Week

Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo and Indie Prince Coco Martin will be paired in an upcoming movie. The still untitled movie of Sarah and Coco will start shooting next week according to reports.

Sarah Geronimo and Coco Martin attended the story conference for the said movie last February 6. The movie is another collaboration of Star Cinema and Viva Films and will be directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng.

According to Coco, he was both nervous and pressured working with Sarah in this movie.

"Siyempre 'pag sinabi mong Sarah geronimo, mataas ang expectations ng tao. Sanay ako sa mga indie [films], kumbaga ito ang nakasanayan kong mundo and then ngayon papasok ako sa mundo ng mainstream at si Sarah Geronimo pa yung makakasama ko. Honestly, napakalaking pressure po para sa akin," Coco told ABS-CBN's Mario Dumaual. [WATCH THE VIDEO HERE]

Meanwhile, Sarah is equally honored and pressured to be working with Coco, who is one of the most-awarded actors of his generation.

"Galing galing niya talaga eh so dapat talaga sa pagkakataon na ito, makahabol talaga ako sa kanya," Sarah said.

Sarah and Coco will be joined by actress-host Ruffa Gutierrez in this movie, who said that she's very excited to be working with the singer. She also revealed that it was actually her first time (during the storycon) to meet Coco Martin in person, who she found cute.

Ruffa will be playing Sarah's mentor and will give one of the twists in the story.

The movie will be Sarah and Coco's first big screen team up. However, the two were already paired in the short-lived musical series Idol (stylized as 1DOL) way back in 2010.

“Direk Cathy and I told Sarah and Lloydie that we want them to write Miggy and Laida’s wedding vows. Gusto ko din kasi marinig from them kung ano sa tingin nila yung learnings ng characters nila,” explained Carmi, who was also the headwriter of the first two installments of the series namely “A Very Special Love” and “You Changed My Life.” “Both were nervous kung kaya ba nila magsulat but they were very excited. When they showed me what they wrote, I knew right away that they wrote from the hearts of their characters. They were so sincere, ang ganda!”

Carmi further shared that Sarah and John Lloyd’s self-made vows were so beautifully written that she almost did not edit it. “Konti na lang ang inayos ko. Their vows made the ending of Laida and Miggy’s love story a thousand times more special because they spoke their own words. As a writer, yun na ang gift ko sa kanila: to let them speak their own words. In the end, parang naging buhay na talaga sila Miggy at Laida,” Carmi related.

'It Takes A Man and A Woman' Gets Highest Rating from Cinema Evaluation Board; 'Rated G' by MTRCB

The third installment of the most successful Filipino movie franchise “It Takes A Man And A Woman,” topbilled by Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz, has been given the ‘A’ grade, the highest rating by the Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB). The Cathy Garcia-Molina-directed film will hit theaters nationwide this Black Saturday (March 30).

The movie also got a 'Rated G' rating from the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) which means that “It Takes A Man And A Woman” is appropriate for all ages and can be watched by kids.

According to Direk Cathy, the third part of the Laida (Sarah)-Miggy (John Lloyd) love story is a ‘level up’ of the first two installments. “Iba na ‘yung level ng kilig ng part 3. It’s not about the same girl who’s giggling over her crush. Sa part 3, we’ve taken it a notch higher na hindi lang basta kilig,” she said. “Dito, natuto na sila Laida and Miggy kung paano magmahal. Kaya ‘yung kilig dito, hindi na nanggagaling sa pa-cute. Mas kikiligin ka kasi alam mong mahal na nila yung isa’t isa in the true sense of love.”

“Bagay na bagay ‘yung theme song sa kwento ng part 3 kasi from a girl and a boy, Laida and Miggy have transformed into a man and a woman,” Direk Cathy explained. “It really takes a man and a woman to love kasi love takes more than just the kilig. Kasama sa pagmamahal ‘yung pinagdadaanang problema at ‘yung capability mo to forgive.”

The box-office director further shared that apart from Laida and Miggy, the lead stars themselves, Sarah and John Lloyd, have matured as individuals. “Dati kulitan lang nang kulitan at talagang medyo petty ang mga pinagkikwentuhan nila, anything that would make them laugh,” she related. “Ngayon, meron ng sense ang pinag-uusapan na nila–may about love, how to love a person, how to keep a relationship.”

More than the box-office success, Direk Cathy is proud that their movie franchise has touched a lot of moviegoers’ lives. “We have created a lot of characters na sa pelikula pero sina Miggy at Laida parang hindi sila tao. Para silang characters sa Snowhite at Cinderalla. Kaya lang ‘yung mga ‘yun, babae lang ang bida at ‘yung mga prinsipe nila parang generic. Dito ‘yung prinsipe natin may pangalan, si Miggy,” she said. “Nakakatuwa na nakapagbigay pala tayo ng ganoong klase sa audience na paulit-ulit na pinanonood at hanggang ngayon ay napapakilig pa rin sila. I believe Miggy and Laida provided happiness and entertainment to the audience, and made them believe in love and kilig.”

Co-produced by Star Cinema and Viva Films, “It Takes A Man And A Woman” also features Joross Gamboa, Gio Alvarez, Matet De Leon, Al Tantay, Irma Adlawan, Guji Lorenzana, Rowel Santiago, and Dante Rivero. The film also introduces model-host Isabelle Daza, who will play the character of Belle, the socialite girlfriend of Miggy.

Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz Emotional on 'It Takes A Man and A Woman'

Box-office royalties Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz admitted that they are equally excited, just like the rest of the moviegoers nationwide, for the much-awaited big screen return of two of the most-loved Pinoy movie characters namely, Laida Magtalas (Sarah) and Miggy Montenegro (John Lloyd) via “It Takes A Man And A Woman,” the third installment of the most successful Filipino film franchise co-produced by Star Cinema and Viva Films. “It Takes A Man And A Woman” is set to hit cinemas nationwide on Black Saturday (March 30).

The Laida-Miggy love story is so special to Sarah and John Lloyd that they both felt challenged in doing the third, and possibly the last installment of the movie franchise.

“Emotional ako sa paggawa ng movie na ito kasi napakasaya ng feeling na after four years ay nagkasama-sama kami ulit nila John Lloyd, Direk Cathy Garcia-Molina, and the whole cast na magagaling lahat. Pero nandun rin ‘yung lungkot kasi baka ito na ‘yung last installment ng movie series na ito na nag-start sa ‘A Very Special Love’ at sinundan ng ‘You Changed My Life,” said Sarah.

“Sana ‘yung naging learnings ng characters namin maalala ng lahat ng manonood. But if there’s one thing that I can really guarantee is that we have a very good ending at lalabas sila ng sinehan na talagang masaya katulad nang kung paano naging masaya sina Miggy at Laida,” John Lloyd expressed.

Like the rest of the nation, Sarah and John Lloyd loved the series even more not only because of the romantic scenes between Laida and Miggy but because of the lessons imparted by the characters. “Syempre nalungkot ako na nagbreak sila Laida at Miggy. Iba ‘yung naituro nu’n sa akin habang ginagawa ko ‘yung pelikula,” shared Sarah. “My character, Laida, has always been a believer of fairytales at dito sa movie, at dito sa movie, makikita mo ‘yung growth niya at maturity niya. At ‘yun ang gusto ko ring ma-apply unti-unti para sa sarili ko.”

John Lloyd also confessed how attached he is with his character Miggy. “Hindi lang naman kami gumagawa ng pelikula para lang may maipalabas. Kapag inaangkin mo kasi ‘yung character, nag-e-exist siya sa buhay mo. So ‘yung struggles at journey niya, nagiging struggles at journey mo rin. ‘Yung mga natutunan niya, natutunan mo din. At kay Miggy, halos nagsabay kasi ang growth namin as a person so kaya ganon na lang ako talaga ka-emotional these past few days. It’s like saying goodbye to a friend,” the actor said.

With the learnings they got from the experiences of Laida and Miggy, Sarah and John Lloyd were even made closer in their love team’s return on the big screen.

“Ito ang pinakamagandang naabot ng relasyon namin ni Sarah bilang magkatrabaho at bilang magkaibigan,” said John Lloyd. “Alam naming marami pa kaming dapat matutunan sa isa’t-isa, which makes it very exciting and inspiring kasi hindi naman dito natatapos ‘yung istorya namin and I’m looking forward to another journey para sa aming dalawa.”

What were the trials that Laida and Miggy faced after their break-up? Is it really the end for their love story or will Laida and Miggy rediscover the magic of the ‘very special lovek they once shared?

Aside from Sarah and John Lloyd, also part of “It Takes A Man And A Woman” are Joross Gamboa, Gio Alvarez, Matet De Leon, Al Tantay, Irma Adlawan, Guji Lorenzana, Rowel Santiago, and Dante Rivero. The film also introduces model-host Isabelle Daza, who will plays the character of Belle, the socialite girlfriend of Miggy.

Don’t miss the return of the most successful romantic-comedy movie series “It Takes A Man And A Woman” which will be shown on theaters nationwide on March 30, 2013.
