More and more shooting days cancelled – some reasons more heartbreaking than others, so heartbreaking they make me cry.”</p><p>Jadaone did not specify which film she is referring to, only using the hashtag “foolishmovie”. She, however, had used this same hashtag in <a href="https://ilayailaya.wordpress.com/2017/12/18/foolishmovie-pt-4-ldr-editing/">earlier blog posts</a> on a film project starring James Reid and Nadine Lustre, before it was <a href="https://ilayailaya.wordpress.com/2017/12/22/foolishmovie-pt-4-we-have-a-title/">officially titled</a> “Never Not Love You” in late December.</p><p>In her latest blog, Jadaone continued: “I’m just worried. I hope I sustain my excitement for as long as I can. I know myself too well – I work better when I am excited, when I am inspired. Lord, grant me patience. I pray for this movie. I pray for myself too. Take it easy, teh.”</p><p>In a tweet Sunday, Jadaone brought up a similar topic: “Woke up to know pack up ang shoot bigla. Now what to do today?”</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="tl">Woke up to know pack up ang shoot bigla.

Some noted that the film with Lustre and Reid was the most recently announced project of Jadaone, who also worked with real-life couple in “On the Wings of Love” and “Till I Met You”.</p><p>Viva Films, the producer of “Never Not Love You”, has yet to release a statement responding to speculation on the film’s supposed delay. </p><div><script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v2.5" async="" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/nevernotloveyoumovie/photos/a.128218521301377.1073741829.127731244683438/142283569894872/?type=3" data-width="auto"> </div>
