Posted by Jennylyn Mercado on Sunday, February 7, 2016
Two-time Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) Best Actress awardee Jennylyn Mercado has torn down the wall between the country’s two network giants once again as she is set to star in an upcoming film with John Lloyd Cruz under Star Cinema.
Mercado, who is a GMA Network artist, posted a photo of her with Cruz on Monday with the caption “Surprise! #Movie #StarCinema.” Star Cinema is ABS-CBN’s film and television production company.
According to a report from Pep.ph, the movie will be directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina.
Details of the movie’s plot are still being kept under wraps but PEP editor-in-chief Jo-Ann Maglipon said that Mercado’s character will “appear ugly at first and will become prettier as the movie progresses.”
Mercado’s movie with Cruz marks the third time that she will work with a Kapamilya actor.
