Superstar couple <strong>Dingdong Dantes</strong> and <strong>Marian Rivera</strong> (<strong>DongYan</strong>) hit a new life and career milestone as the pair is set to grace the big screen with <strong><em>Rewind</em></strong>, a film project by <strong>Star Cinema</strong>/<strong>ABS-CBN Films</strong>, <strong>APT Entertainment</strong>, and <strong>Agosto Dos Media</strong>.</p><div><br/></div><p>The talented couple will star in <em>Rewind</em>, a film set to be directed by <strong>Mae Cruz-Alviar </strong>and written by<strong> Enrico Santos </strong>with <strong>Carmi Raymundo </strong>as the creative director. It’s a project that is years in the making and has been under negotiation and planning even before the pandemic happened. The plans were stalled when COVID-19 hit and impacted the industry.</p><div><br/></div><p>Asked what the movie is all about, <em>Direk</em> Mae shared a brief but meaningful teaser and description for the highly anticipated DongYan project.“It’s a family drama with a touch of magical realism. It’s all about second chances and how far would you go to get that second chance,” she says.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/6cbed03e-5c44-40bd-b496-4d8932798c6d_355079155_664214812402570_7572698272725932190_n.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera"/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>For Marian, it was a dream come true to finally work with Star Cinema after hearing glowing feedback from her husband who has worked with the production outfit a couple of times. Every time Dingdong shares his great experience to her, all she could say was, “<em>Sana balang araw</em>.” </p><div><br/></div><p>When the project finally took shape and received the go signal, the actress vowed to finally make it happen.“<em>Gagawin ko iyan kahit mahirapan ako s</em>a schedule,” Marian jests. She felt it was the right project when she read the script and was moved to tears. “Ito ’<em>yung</em> project <em>na</em> feeling <em>ko magiging</em> proud <em>sa’min ’yung mga anak namin</em>,” she shares. “<em>Talagang tatamaan ka</em>. <em>Mamu</em>-move <em>ka sa linya at sa mga nangyayari</em>.” </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/b7eb6949-91a3-4c32-8cd7-7f5579cf9bb0_dong yan new movie star cinema 1.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="DongYan with Direk Mae Cruz-Alviar"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">DongYan with Direk Mae Cruz-Alviar<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"><em> Screnshot from ABS-CBN Star Cinema on YouTube  </em></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c9e3ba65-c325-4594-9be7-737437f8b10b_dong yan new movie star cinema 3.png" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="(From left) Creative manager Daisy Cayanan-Mejares, screenwriter Enrico Santos, creative director Carmi Raymundo, director Mae Cruz-Alviar, Dingdong Dantes, Marian Rivera, ABS-CBN Films head and managing director Kriz Gazmen, and APT Entertainment &amp; All Access to Artists Inc. president and CEO Mike Tuviera"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">(From left) Creative manager Daisy Cayanan-Mejares, screenwriter Enrico Santos, creative director Carmi Raymundo, director Mae Cruz-Alviar, Dingdong Dantes, Marian Rivera, ABS-CBN Films head and managing director Kriz Gazmen, and APT Entertainment &amp; All Access to Artists Inc. president and CEO Mike Tuviera<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"><em> Screenshot from ABS-CBN Star Cinema  </em></span></span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>When she got the script, Marian’s mom caught her crying prompting her to ask, “<em>Anak</em>, <em>may problema ka</em>? <em>Magsabi ka</em>,” and she had to clarify that she was just reading the movie’s script.In fact, Marian sent a picture of her crying to Dingdong which she jokingly warned him to delete.</p><div><br/></div><p>Dingdong—who has worked with Star Cinema for movies <em>One More Try</em>, <em>She’s The One,</em> and <em>Seven Sundays—</em>is excited to finally work with his wife again and for a Star Cinema project.“<em>S’yempre bukod sa makakasama ko siya</em> to collaborate with <em>mahuhusay na</em> creators, <em>eh ang gusto namin sa bawat </em>project <em>na pinipili namin ay maging</em> proud <em>kami sa mga anak namin na ganitong klaseng pelikula at kwento ang gusto naming makarating sa mga manonood</em>,” Dingdong beams.</p><div><br/></div><p><em>Direk </em>Mae, who helmed Dingdong’s <em>She’s The One</em>, is also ecstatic and has nothing but praises for the actor.“It’s always a good experience working with Dingdong.
