Hindi lang sa character. Excited ako maka-work si direk. Siyempre magsasama ulit kami ni Julia,” said Joshua.Julia said she is looking forward to the fact that she would be portraying a different character once again.“Ako very excited ako for this project and this role that was given by direk and Star Cinema because different siya from VKJ definitely. Yung role na gagawin ko dito, not something I’ve done before. Sa kuwento pa lang ni direk, parang ang challenging na niya,” said Julia.As of the moment, Direk Tonet revealed that they have yet to come up with other cast members aside from Joshua and Julia.Will their Vince and Kath and James co-star Ronnie Alonte be part of the movie?“I don’t think he’s part of this because he’s doing another movie that is also under Star Cinema,” said Julia.The still untitled movie, according to Direk Tonet, is slated to come out this year.
