- “People who were not chosen,” this is the director’s definition of the upcoming ‘James and Pat and Dave’ movie
Ronnie Alonte returns in the light-hearted romance ‘Vince and Kath and James’ sequel. He is one of the lead stars, together with Julia Barreto and Joshua Garcia. Real life couple Ronnie Alonte, a Hashtag member, and Loisa Andalio, a Girltrend member, both from ‘It’s Showtime,’ together with Donny Pagilinan, will star in ‘James and Pat and Dave,’ which is a sequel to the 2016 hit film ‘Vince and Kath and James.’
On February 21, Thursday, Star Cinema made the announcement at the story conference for the upcoming movie. This will continue to follow the life story of James, played by Ronnie Alonte.
This film will again be directed by Theodore Boborol.
“Napaka-blessed ko. The fact na ‘yung first movie ay may part 2, that’s something na sobrang grateful ako sa Star Cinema at sa audience for supporting the story. But we are offering a new story. In a way, bagong kuwento ‘yung ilalatag at ihahatid natin sa kanila na hopefully ay magustuhan nila,” Boborol expressed thanks.
He also shared that this film will focus on James. “Nakita naman natin na ‘yung meme na James has left the group. So obviously may nangyari sa personal na buhay ni James at doon niya makikilala ang character ni Pat. But definitely ‘yung character ni Pat and Dave may background sila together, may love history and kung paano manghimasok si James sa history ni Pat at Dave, ‘yun ang aabangan.”
“People who were not chosen,” this is the director’s definition of the upcoming film ‘James and Pat and Dave.’
“In fact ‘yung hashtag namin ngayon is #BakitHindiAkoPinili. Because ‘yun ang magko-continue ng story, si James, at the end of the first movie, he wasn’t chosen by Kath. And when the people find out the stories of Pat and Dave, they will also find na hindi rin sila napipili. Lahat naman tayo at some point in our lives whether tungkol ito sa love, friendship or school, minsan hindi tayo napipili. So napapatanong tayo, bakit hindi ako? So ang sakit nun, ‘yun ang pinakahugot at ‘yun ang kailangan nilang matutunan at makikita sa movie,” Boborol explained.
The three stars are much excited to be working together again after the 2018 blockbuster comedy, ‘Fantastica.’
“Siyempre itutuloy namin. Ito na po ‘yon. Kasi nawala po ako ng tatlong taon (sa paggawa ng movie). So ito na ‘yon para sa akin. So excited po ako,” Ronnie said.
Loisa is excited for this another blessing and said that this is the biggest project Star Cinema entrusted her.
“Sobrang excited sa blessing na ito. Para sa akin ito ang pinakamalaking ibinigay na project sa akin ng Star Cinema. Sobrang thankful po ako.” Loisa will play the character of Pat in the story.
Donny Pangilinan said he feels blessed to be part of the movie. “I watched the first movie, so gusto kong makita talaga ano ang mangyayari this time.” Donny will play the character Dave.
Pat’s character will do everything for her family, while Dave comes from a political family in the province.
“Ako ay seemingly perfect na guy pero sa movie makikita natin na hindi pala ito totoo. I will find out that I’m not really this perfect guy that I think I am,” Pangilinan said.
This sequel will hit the cinemas soon.
