"We didn't expect it to be like this, but more than that, we're fulfilled and we're very happy with what's happening. And makikita ito ng buong mundo, at the same time, hindi malayo dito sa screening time natin dito sa Philippines. So thank you po," said Alden at last night's press conference held in ABS-CBN's Dolphy Theater in Quezon City.
His leading lady, Kathryn, is also thankful and noted the joint effort between two giant film outfits, ABS-CBN and GMA Pictures. "Hello, Love, Again" is the first film collaboration between the two film studios.
"Since day one, we felt the support of, of course, my home network ABS-CBN, and now, GMA Pictures. Nararamdaman ko lang siguro kapag nagtulungan, you see, eto 'yung nangyayari. And 'yung support na 'yun, ang laking bagay sa amin, ni Direk Cathy and ni Alden, kasi we need that e.
"'Yun 'yung nagfu-fuel sa amin, and now that we are showing it not just here but also internationally, nakakatuwa kasi story naman talaga nila ito and maybe it's time for the world to see 'yung mga gawang Pinoy. So hopefully tanggapin nila. We're very hopeful for that," Kathryn said.
"Hello, Love, Again" takes off five years after Joy (Kathryn) left Ethan (Alden) in Hong Kong to pursue her dream of a better life in Canada.
Director Cathy Garcia-Sampana returns to helm the sequel film, with writers Carmi G. Raymundo and Crystal "Tala" S. San Miguel.
