Joshua Garcia and Julia Barretto are reuniting for a romance-drama film under Star Cinema.In a New Movie Alert interview with MJ Felipe, the former love team partners shared how they felt about working together again.“Ako, noong nalaman ko yung project, yes agad kasi ang tagal na rin kasi noong agwat noong panahon na nagwork kami. Before kasi mga teenager pa kami and I can say na siguro nagmature na kami… Oo lumaki na kami,” Joshua said.He added: “Exciting lang na parang nagkanya-kanya kaming journey and parang ngayon magbabalikan kami, sa pelikula.”On Julia’s side, she also felt excited as it would be a &quot;familiar yet new&quot; experience for the two actors.“I was, actually, over the years, there were several attempts to come together… There were several attempts and then at some point, when a good material comes along, and a great team and then, of course, being reunited with Joshua, it’s such an exciting idea. And almost felt like, you know maybe, it’s already the right time, it’s the right material. We are now in a good place in our lives,” Julia revealed.“I’m happy na magtatrabaho tayo ulit,” she continued.<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/Joshua-Garcia-Julia-Barretto-reunite-in--romance-drama-film-Un-happy-For-You_.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/5/21/fresh-scoops/julia-and-joshua-to-star-in-a-new-film-together-200165">READ: </a><span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/5/21/fresh-scoops/julia-and-joshua-to-star-in-a-new-film-together-200165">Julia Barretto and Joshua Garcia to star in a new film together</a><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/5/21/fresh-scoops/julia-and-joshua-to-star-in-a-new-film-together-200165"> </a><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/5/21/fresh-scoops/julia-and-joshua-to-star-in-a-new-film-together-200165"></a></div>Titled Un/happy For You, the film will tell the story of two exes who were hurt by each other and tried to move past it despite having the lingering feeling of pain.“It’s like kahit may history kayo, mag ex (na) kayo, yung pain continues. This is what it’s all about. Yung pain, yung complicated issues that happen if you really love each other back then,” one of the writers, Jen Chuaunsu, shared.She continued, “Maraming makakarelate dito and this is not your typical exes movie.”The creative team also stated that it would be more mature and more intense, different from what the two actors had in their previous projects together.Speaking about exes, Joshua and Julia had funny takes on how they both reacted to the story of their new film.“Masaya ako sa story… &#x27;Yun na nga hindi na rin kami mahihirapan,” the actor joked, which set Julia, the creative team, and the director laughing.“Ako nasaktan ako, ikaw nasakatan ka rin... Tayo bilang actors feeling ko tayo hindi mahihirapan gampanin yung mga characters natin,” he clarified.Julia also stated how the story was a bit “familiar” and “inspired by” certain people.“It’s nice. I didn&#x27;t expect it to be super far from probably what we had… all experienced in life. Not just him and I. It&#x27;s a very general thing that everybody goes through… I super agree that there are some things that linger. It will be a painful but hopefully a healing one,” she smilingly said.The film is to be directed by A Very Good Girl director Petersen Vargas.“I grew up watching their films, and I’m such a fan of their individual acting prowess and when they’re together, parang, it’s just parang, grabe yung sparks when they are on screen together,” he said. “They make my job really easy.”Although no specific date was announced, the film is set to be released this year.
