Mic Test will be with GMA Pictures in producing this movie.
The lead role was last seen in GMA year 2006 the ‘Now and Forever’ and part of ‘Encantadia’ 2005.
In order not to be exclusive and only utilize in-house talents, GMA Pictures should be open and invite artists from the other entertainment/talent management, just like how Star Cinema invites other artists as well.
This will increase the need of production people because workloads will be available for the comeback of GMA Films.
After three years, we will again experience the excellence of the network in how they operate as a film production house.
