Janella
Salvador and Jameson Blake agree in saying that their team-up in the upcoming
movie, So Connected, is significant
for both of them.
For
one, this is their first time to work together.
For
his part, Jameson explains that he has always been vocal in his past interviews
that Janella is her dream leading lady.
“Before,
people would always ask me, ‘If you would work with a leading lady, who would
you choose?’ I’m like, ‘Maybe Janella, I think maybe we’d be a good match for a
movie.’
“I’m
like, ‘Someday baka may movie kami ni Janella. Maybe it would come true.’ I
actually dreamt about it,” the Hashtags member recounts.
“I
never really expected it would come true,” he enthuses about his granted wish.
The
budding actor also points out why So
Connected is a huge milestone in his showbiz career: What could be better
than finally getting your first big role and be paired with your dream leading
lady?
“Ito
so far ang pinakamalaking role ko as a bida sa mainstream. Kasi nag-indie
[movie] ako, so ito mainstream na ito. It’s like a big step in my life.
“It’s
really special for me. Kasi I always wanted to work with Janella. and I’m happy
it actually came true,” he says with excitement.
Though
it is their first team-up, Jameson is happy to hear that the staff and crew of
the production team is optimismic that his onscreen partnership with Janella
shows a lot of promise.
“They
believe that we could actually pull off the movie. It’s a great experience,” he
beams.
“They
really like the movie,” referring to the production team.
Meanwhile,
the team up is a breath of fresh air for Janella. She only has good words for
Jameson.
“He’s
very nice, actually. I have no problem working with him at all because sobrang
light lang ng aura niya, sobrang good vibes lang, and masaya siya to work
with,” she commends.
Coming
from a solid love team in the previous Regal Entertainment movie, Janella
admits that she had to adjust in working with a new leading man in the person
of Jameson.
However,
she welcomes this change because this will only help her to a better actress.
“Syempre,
may adjustment. Medyo after a few projects with the same leading man, di ako
sanay na bago, pero it’s always nice to try something new. I think it’s good
growth din as an actress,” she articulates.
Janella’s
role in the movie is Trisha, a self-supporting young woman, who hopes to help
her family.
Popularly
known for portraying teeny bopper roles, Janella finally gets the chance to
portray an out-of-the-box character.
“Nag-enjoy
ako dito sa role na ‘to kasi nga it’s something different for me, kasi halos
lahat ng roles na ginawa ko before maarte o kaya younger.
“Ito,
hindi lang mature. Mas jologs talaga yung character ko. Sobrang jologs niya,”
she giggles.
“And
it’s so fun to do it kasi in real life, may makulit side din talaga ako. So
nalabas ko sa character na ito.”
Jameson,
on the other hand, portrays Karter, a video editor for a web channel who finds
himself falling for a complete stranger (Trisha) after he gets a glimpse of her
life in videos and photos uploaded in the online world.
Just
like Janella, Jameson also feels connected to his role.
“May
mga similarities kami; I’m shy and quiet minsan. I just want to be on the
computer a lot. I’m just like him; his attitude and the way how he approaches
different kinds of situation. I didn’t have much adjustments to it,” describes
the actor.
So Connected,
which is produced by Regal Entertainment, Inc. and directed by Jason Paul
Laxamana will be showing in cinemas on May 23.
The
film also stars Ruby Rodriguez, Rolando Inocencio, Cherise Castro, Krystal
Brimner, Paulo Angeles, VJ Mendoza, Chai Fonacier, Rafael Sudayan and is
directed by the highly-respected Jason Paul Laxamana.
