Andoy Ranay Sunday, August 10, 2014

Good news to all "JaDine" fans, James Reid and Nadine Ilustre has a new movie after their box office movie "Diary ng Panget: The Movie" which is a huge success even outside of the country. Their new movie under Viva Films and Skylight Films is a romance Comedy film entitled "Talk Back and You're Dead".

During the grand PressCon of Direk Andoy Ranay's new movie, we were able to interview the main cast together with the writer of the Wattpad Story, Ms. Alesana Marie

which was released by PSICOM and became a best selling pocketbook.

According to Ms. Alesana, the book was inspired by her favorite tv program which is also my favorite "Meteor Garden" which stars F4 and Barbie Hsu. There were scenes in Meteor Garden wherein Dao Ming Si played by Jerry Yan would give red card to students who they don't like, there's a note in the red card that says, "You're Dead".

Talk Back and You're Dead is a story of an elite and A-lister student Samantha (Nadine) who will fall in love with a handsome gang leader "Top" Timothy Odelle Pendleton (James). It is a good girl meets bad boy kind of love story that most of us can relate to.

Both James and Nadine are excited for this film since the success of Diary ng Panget:The movie because they will be working together and 2 large film makers were in charge of producing the film. James said that there were times both of them can't believe that this is actually all happening, they feel really blessed with all the wonderful projects coming to them. What I love about these 2 actors is that they are really mature when it comes to answering all the questions, very straight forward and fun to talk to.

James, Nadine, Joseph Marco and Yassi Pressman also talked about their roles in the movie.

“Very different ang role ko rito as Sam kumpara kay Eya,” Nadine said. “Si Eya kasi in Diary ng Panget, mahiyain, maraming insecurities at physically, hindi nga siya maganda. Dito sa Talk Back and You’re Dead, si Sam ay mayaman, maganda, perfect student, sosyal pero pipili siya ng guy who is out of her league. Kumbaga, yung ang magiging flaw niya sa almost perfect na pagkatao niya—yung ma-in love siya sa isang gang leader.”

James said “My role here as TOP is quite a big challenge again for me. Kung sa Diary ng Panget ay masungit at galit ako sa mundo, here in Talk Back and You’re Dead, mas bad boy siya. They will see me wearing leather jackets, riding on big motorbikes and engaging in fights. He’s also a rich kid who’s just super bad until he meets Sam who kinda changes his world in a different way.”

Joseph Marco will play the role of "Red" who is also part of the Lucky 13 gang with Top. According to him, this is the first time he has colored his hair anything that is not black. It is not a wig but his real hair.With Yassi, she plays the role of Audrey Dela Cruz, also studies in the same school of Samantha, a good person but not nice to Sam since they will have a love triangle with Top.

Since the trailer is also out, James and Nadine were asked about their sizzling kissing scenes, when asked if James is a good kisser, Nadine said that he is a good kisser and James also said the same thing which made the Press pushed the major question if they're already a couple, Nadine said, "Kung manliligaw". They both said that they are very comfortable with each other which made it even more easier for them to work. They didn't expect people would love their love team and they feel very grateful and thankful to their fans for supporting them.

Direk Andy said, “It’s so nice to work again with both James and Nadine. Sobra kaming happy sa naging box-office result ng Diary ng Panget. Hindi namin ini-expect na gano’n ang turnout kaya hindi kataka-takang mabigyan sila ng bagong movie. And I am happy na ako ulit ang pinagkatiwalaan ng Viva Films para sa JaDine loveteam. “For this new project, we will still use the same formula—the right amount of kilig formula na nagustuhan ng mga fans nila. We promise them a different kind of love story but they can be assured that muling magsa-shine dito sina Nadine at James.”
