Star Cinema is celebrating Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla’s one decade as a love team with the free streaming of She’s Dating the Gangster on YouTube and the launch of Secret Movie Files, a series of fun explainers about the making of the iconic movie.
The ABS-CBN Star Cinema Youtube channel simultaneously premiered She’s Dating the Gangster and KathNiel’s three of seven Secret Movie Files episodes on Sunday (Aug. 15) where they recall what went on behind the scenes when they were shooting the film’s emotional high points.
Secret Movie Files is one of the exciting “Made for Youtube” titles under the newly launched “Kapamilya YOUniverse,” which promises to stream the best in entertainment, music, film, and news via the coming together of Star Cinema, Star Music, MOR Entertainment, ABS-CBN News, and ABS-CBN Entertainment YouTube channels.
Kathryn and Daniel was joined in Secret Movie Files by director Cathy Garcia-Molina to spill little-known trivia – from how Direk Cathy convinced Daniel to wear shorts and dance for the first time in a movie, getting KathNiel fans to appear in certain scenes, and the challenges of shooting the scene where Kenji (Daniel) and Athena’s (Kathryn) confess their feelings and officially become a couple.
Dan Villegas also appears in the episodes to share details about how he lit and shot She’s Dating the Gangster, which he describes as his “best work as a cinematographer.”
The four remaining episodes of KathNiel’s Secret Movie Files will drop on Aug. 22 and 29.
