In celebration of the Star for All Seasons’ 50th anniversary in showbiz, Star Cinema makes history this year as it releases two versions of Vilma Santos‘ much-anticipated first-ever suspense-horror film titled “The Healing,” which will be shown on theaters nationwide this Wednesday (July 25).
When asked how does she feels that she’s finally back in making movies and how does she prepares for this project, Vilma narrated, “Sinabi ko kay Direk, ‘Direk anong karakter ko? Ako ba ‘yung klaseng matapang, tahimik?’ So sa madaling salita, nagrely ako sa kung anong gusto ni Direk. So ‘yung paglalagay ko ng karakter sa role ko ay nanggagaling lahat kay Direk Chito.”
“Habang sinushooting, nag-uusap kami ni Direk kung anong karakter ang gagawin ko. Tahimik muna ako tapos nung patapos na at may realization na what’s happening, lahat ng ‘yun kay Direk.”
“Well guided ako ni Direk Chito. Kasi sa dami na rin ng pelikula kong ginawa, kapag hindi rin ako humingi ng tulong sa kung anong gusto nilang iportray ko na karakter, magpapare-pareho lang ako, tama ba? So depende rin siguro sa project at nagrely talaga ako kay Direk na mga eksena kung sisigaw na ba ako o magugulat na ba ako.” Vilma adds.
Under the direction of Master Director Chito S. Roño, Ate Vi’s “The Healing” takes pride with its highly acclaimed powerhouse cast composed of Kim Chiu, Janice de Belen, Mark Gil, Martin del Rosario, Jhong Hilario, Allan Paule, Cris Villanueva, Daria Ramirez, Ces Quesada, Ynez Veneracion, Simon Ibarra, Abi Bautista, Joel Torre, Chinggoy Alonso, Mon Confiado, Carmi Martin and Pokwang. The two versions of “The Healing” opens in cinemas nationwide on July 25, 2012!
