It is touted as the ultimate romantic-kilig movie of the year. The PreNup pairs Jennylyn Mercado and Sam Milby for the first time on the big screen.
The tandem seems to have a screen chemistry, both are natural to comedy evident in the scenes shot in Central Park and other places in New York City.
Milby and Mercado breezed through their roles as lovers with so much ease and comfort that they were very natural in their kissing and love scenes. Insiders say he was extra attentive to her during the shoot of the big scenes.
The rapport between each other paid off handsomely as the movie’s trailer immediately gained over a million views and likes the minute Regal Entertainment posted it on social media. Even its poster is equally creating quite a stir with its simple yet romantic layout.
In the film, both Milby and Mercado are traveling to New York on the same plane. The former dreams to become a professional photographer while the latter just wants to meet her long-lost father.
When Mercado’s character fails to see her dad, she meets Milby’s character who becomes her Knight in Shining Armor. As in all romantic movies, the fall in love and decide to marry. The wedding preparations, however, suffer a glitch when back in Manila, Sam’s parents demand that the couple sign a pre-nuptial agreement.
Not many knows what a pre-nuptial agreement is. It is an agreement between two individuals who are to be married. And it is about the property they own, especially if one is higher in social status than the other. If and when they agree to this kind of set-up, then present and future properties of the couple will solely be their own and, ergo, when they decide to do anything about them, they do not need the consent of any of the parties involved.
This is a common practice among popular celebrities today.
The movie tackles the impact of a pre-nup agreement to the families of the couple.
Apart from the fresh team-up of Milby and Mercado, The PreNup is Jun Lana’s commercial film after a slew of films acclaimed critically at international film festivals.
Lana won a best director trophy for one of his latest work. Some of his unforgettable projects are Barber’s Tale, Bwakaw, and So It’s You.
In addition to this, New York City holds fond memories for the director as it paid witness to his and long-time partner Perci Intalan’s exchange of vows of few years back.
The PreNup spreads love, joy, and good vibes when it hits theaters nationwide on Oct. 14. This is a fim from Regal Entertainment.
Heart and Chiz’s love nest
Heart Evangelista is building a house in Quezon City and it will be finished soon. The house will be her and Senator Chiz Escdero’s love nest.
In an interview in TV recently, Evangelista said the design is Mediterranean inspired outside, but the interiors will have a French country look so it will feel “homey” for her husband’s twins.
While they have been married for seven months, they are still living in separate homes because they can’t fit in the little townhouse where the senator lives somewhere in Quezon City.
“Weird,” says Escudero as he goes to two houses every time. He goes to the house Evangelista is renting after his twins have gone to bed. It is not very far as it is walking distance from his house.
In the morning, he wakes up early so he can bring Quino and Chesi to school.
“Maganda. Masaya. Medyo mahirap lang kasi wala naman kaming iisang bahay,” says Chiz of the arrangement.
“Heart rents the townhouse she lives in. It is in the same subdivision where my kids and I live. So, hindi kasya yung gamit ko roon. Hindi kasya yung gamit ng mga anak ko roon. Hindi rin naman kasya yung mga gamit niya sa townhouse na inuupahan ko. So, medyo alanganin lang at magulo yung setup namin ngayon,” the senator adds.
Since 1998 when he was elected as a congressman, Escudero has been living in a townhouse near St. Lukes Medical Center in Quezon City.
“At least, kapag natapos yung ipinapagawang bahay ni Heart, pwede kong sabihing ‘ibinabahay’ ako ni Heart Evangelista,” says Escudero smiling naughtily.
