Instead of starring in the soap Written in Our Stars, Piolo Pascual and Toni Gonzaga will be featured in a movie.
“Remember, we were supposed to do said soap last year, only, I got pregnant so it had to be shelved. But based on the latest development, we are to make a film to be directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal. In fact, we recently had a story conference and it’s cool!”
Were she and PJ given a hint that they’d be in a new movie?
“On the contrary, this project came out as a surprise. Out of nowhere, it just landed onto (sic) our laps. Actually, I was supposed to do a different film then all of a sudden, the direction changed and everything fell into its proper place. I’m really happy about it.”
Perhaps, this project was destined to be than the soap.
“Well, maybe. First of all, our schedules fitted perfectly. We’re looking at smooth-sailing taping sessions once the cameras start to grind. In addition to that, I like the story line. The script is so beautiful, the type that I wouldn’t want to miss.”
This early, the talented singer-host-actress is very excited with the project.
“Who wouldn’t be? When Piolo got on board, wow! Then Direk Joyce. Inang Olive (Lamasan) is also involved with the movie. She’s hands-on with it actually. Considering all these, I feel that it’s a nice replacement to the soap Piolo and I were originally supposed to do.”
Many ask what the difference in her shooting schedule will be now that she’s a homemaker already.
“Yes, I was asked about that especially that I’m breast-feeding my baby. Actually, it’s still light at this point because the play date of the movie is still far. We’ll be shooting twice a week since I still have my hosting assignment for Pinoy Big Brother so, I don’t see any hassle in the coming days,” ends Toni.
