Enchong Dee, Xian Lim, Enrique Gil, and Kean Cipriano gear up for Star Cinema's 'The Reunion'

Tentatively titled as

The Reunion

, Star Cinema’s latest movie offering gathers four of the hottest young actors to date: Enchong Dee, Xian Lim, Enrique Gil, and Kean Cipriano. The movie follows a barkada who are bound together by their passion for music and their respective pursuit of happiness.

“

Ipapakita yung

journey

na

close friends

sila nung

high school,

tapos

several years later

nagkita-kita ulit sila. Meron silang hinahanap na kulang. Meron kasi silang ginawang kasalanan nung

high school

na

feeling

nila kaya hindi sila nakapag

-move on

sa buhay nila dahil hindi pa sila nakakapag-

make amends

sa ginawa nila

before. Ito

yung

journey

ng apat para hanapin yung sarili nila saka hanapin yung dating sinaktan nila at minahal nila,

” said director Frasco Mortiz during their story conference at the Star Cinema office last January 10.

Although it’s their first time to work together, the four actors seemed to have established instant rapport as a group. Enchong further elaborated on the subject, “Exciting

kasi

first time

namin makakasama si

Kean.

Sino ba naman ang hindi gustong makasama ang isang napakagaling na

musician?

Tapos

for 2011, most talked about actor

si

Xian

at si

Enrique. So

maganda yung

mix

ng

group. We’re working on our camaraderie,

pero yung

initial meeting

namin ngayon, ganito na kami

[

kakulit

],

paano pa kaya kapag nag

-bonding

na kami

.”

In the same vein, Kean is happy to be working with a new set of co-actors in

The Reunion.

“

Para makabawi kami sa pambobola, siyempre gusto din namin makatrabaho si

Enchong.

Sigurado ako sa nararamdaman ko ngayon magiging masaya itong pelikula na ito. Marami kaming gagawing kalokohan. Mukhang masaya siya

so

yun ine

-expect

ko na mangyari

” Coming from two box office hits last year (

Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank

and

Praybeyt Benjamin

),

Push.com.ph

asked Kean if he feels pressured to offer something different this time around. “I’ll follow directions

pa rin. Kung anong sasabihin sa akin ni direk, kung anong kailangan ng storya yun ang gagawin ko, at kung meron akong pwdeng ilagay na

toppings,

pero dun ako magba

-base

sa kanila

.”

As for their leading ladies, direk Frasco said that their team has already come up with a shortlist of young actresses that the viewers would love to see paired with Xian, Enrique, Enchong, and Kean. “

Yung mga

names

na ‘yan

(Kim Chiu and Erich Gonzales)

talagang kasama sa listahan na hininigi namin. Yun lang talagang

schedule

ang makakasagot niyan. At siyempre may plano ding ibang

project

sa bawat isa sa kanila

so wine-weigh

ng

Star Magic at Star Cinema

yung tamang

pairing

na pabor sa bawat isa. Para

in a way,

gusto namin maiba ng konti. Idya-jumble namin ng konti para maiba naman yung makita ng

viewers

sa pelikula at hindi yung laging napapanood nila sa

TV.”

Asked about their expectations for this project, Xian and Enrique said that they just want to have fun and be able to do a movie that the people would watch out for. “

Parang Bagets

of our generation

ito

. So I expect a lot of comedy.

Kwela lang

,” said Enrique. To which Xian added, “

Sana madami kaming mapasaya. Yung ibang makakasama naming

actors

sobrang galing.

Si

Enchong

pa lang, pati

director

namin. Sana abangan ng mga tao ang pelikulang ito

.”
