Dubbed as Teen King and Queen, Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo confirmed during their contract signing on ABS-CBN that they are set to star in the film adaptation of bestselling pop fiction book “She’s Dating the Gangster.”
With the success of movies adapted from best-selling books such as “Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo,” Star Cinema is now creating waves with this new project. Aside from “She’s Dating the Gangster,” the film outfit is also adapting the bestselling Precious Hearts Romances title of all time, “Once A Princess” to be topbilled by Enchong Dee and Erich Gonzales.
The bestselling book “She’s Dating the Gangster” made its debut in media as an online book published in Wattpad. Afterwards, Summit Books published it last March 2013. The book, which is written by Bianca Bernardino, consistently figured in the bestselling charts. The popularity of the work urged Star Cinema to buy the rights for a movie remake.
“She’s Dating the Gangster” is the story of Athena Dizon who falls in love with her fake boyfriend Kenji de los Reyes, a gangster and a campus heartthrob.
The KathNiel loveteam was personally chosen by the author Bianca Bernardino to portray the main roles. The author feels and likes Daniel’s ‘bad boy aura’ and Kathryn’s vibe similar to the girl protagonist as the reason why they perfectly fit the roles.
The movie adaptation of “She’s Dating the Gangster” will be directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, the director of KathNiel’s romantic series “Got to Believe.” The production team targets filming this March 2014.
