On September 5, Kapuso star Ruru Madrid considered himself lucky when Yassi Pressman accepted her role in ‘Black Rider.’
At the media conference for ‘Video City,’ Madrid highlighted how much he enjoyed working with Pressman in both their movie and series.
“Nagkataon ba? Ako maswerte ako dahil tinanggap ni Yassi ‘yung Black Rider, parang siyempre, sino ba namang ayaw makatrabaho ang isang Yassi Pressman.
“Sobrang nag-enjoy po kaming nag-enjoy working with each other, dito po sa proyektong ito na sinabi ko sa kaniya na sana someday magkatrabaho tayo ulit. At hindi ko inaasahan na ito ‘yung Black Rider. So thank you.”
Pressman recounted when she received the offer for her role in ‘Black Rider.’
“Nauna po ito, siyempre this is under GMA Pictures and my family Viva Films, after po nito, siyempre nagpa-plano po kami for the rest of the year and the next year, and noong dumating po ‘yung offer from Black Rider, talagang pinag-isipan ko rin po muna, kasi nga siyempre, matagal na rin pong hindi nagteleserye on TV. Puro pelikula po talaga ‘yung gusto kong gawin, short series, or game show po, ‘yung Rolling In It.”
Pressman highlighted her excitement in accepting an action role, citing her training.
“Noong kinukwento po sa akin ni Ruru kung sino si Vanessa doon po sa ano namin, sa Black Rider, na-excite po ako ng sobra, dahil never pa po talaga akong gumawa ng action na kung saan ako po ‘yung kasama talaga ni Ruru na kasali sa pakikipaglaban. Kaya na-excite po talaga ako.
“Nag-training din po ako, nakapag-motor cycle lessons na po kami. Nag-Muay Thai na rin po ako, back to the gym, so very exciting po.”
As for their film, ‘Video City’ stars Yassi Pressman and Ruru Madrid. The movie is a co-production between Viva Films and GMA Pictures.
Under the direction of Raynier Brizuela, ‘Video City’ opens in cinemas starting September 20.
