Award-winning stars Angel Locsin, Dingdong Dantes, Zanjoe Marudo, and Angelica Panganiban shared that their latest Star Cinema film “One More Try” is their most challenging dramatic movie to date. The said first-ever modern family drama masterpiece of critically-acclaimed director Ruel S. Bayani will hit theaters nationwide beginning Christmas (December 25), along with other entries in the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).
“I was mostly excited, unang-una dahil ‘One More Try’ is going to be my first MMFF movie as a director,” said Direk Ruel. “It’s an experience for any director na magkuwento ng isang espesyal na materyal na mapapanood ng maraming tao sa panahon ng Pasko. ‘One More Try’ is the best family movie this festival because it’s a modern family drama na magbibigay inspirasyon, mae-enjoy, at kapupulutan ng aral ng mga tao sa panahon ng Kapaskuhan.
Meanwhile, Angel’s plan to take a short break from doing films failed as soon as she heard about the brave plot of “One More Try” that tackles about a loving single mother Grace (Angel) who is willing to sacrifice everything to save her ill son. “Actually si Direk Ruel talaga ‘yung reason kung bakit ako nag-yes sa pelikulang ‘to. Never pa kami nagkatrabaho pero nabibisita ko siya sa set niya dati nung nasa GMA pa kami noon at marami nga akong naririnig na magagandang bagay tungkol sa kaniya,” shared Angel, who also worked for the first time with Angelica, Zanjoe, and Dingdong. “Halos lahat ng pelikula siguro maki-claim na ‘bago po ‘tong kuwento namin,’ pero totoo talaga. Hindi siya ‘yung another typical infidelity movie. Iba siya! Pamilya ang sentro ng kwento.”
